Houston Burn Injury Lawyers

Severe burns aren’t just surface injuries—they’re catastrophic trauma. They often require emergency treatment, multiple surgeries, long-term rehabilitation, and ongoing mental health support. If you or someone you love suffered burn injuries due to someone else’s negligence, you deserve more than basic help. You deserve justice, answers, and real compensation.

At The Law Offices of Omar Khawaja, we represent burn victims throughout Houston and across Texas. Our legal team understands the toll these injuries take—physically, emotionally, and financially. That’s why we fight to hold negligent parties accountable and secure the financial recovery our clients need to move forward.

You May Be Entitled to Compensation for:

• Hospitalization and emergency care

• Burn treatments, skin grafts, and plastic surgery

• Physical and occupational therapy

• Lost income and reduced future earning ability

• Pain, emotional trauma, and psychological distress

• Permanent scarring or disfigurement

• Wrongful death (in fatal burn injury cases)

Texas law generally gives you only two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim. The sooner you contact us, the stronger your case can be.

Burn injuries vary in type and severity. Both factors influence the treatment plan, long-term outcomes, and legal strategy.

Common Types of Burns

• Thermal Burns – From open flames, hot metals, scalding liquids, or steam

• Chemical Burns – Caused by acids, detergents, or industrial solvents

• Electrical Burns – From wiring, exposed currents, or lightning strikes

• Radiation Burns – Often caused by medical treatments or sun exposure

• Friction Burns – Skin damage from contact with hard surfaces, like road rash

• Cold Burns (Frostbite) – Caused by prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures

Burn Severity Levels

• First-Degree – Superficial burns (like sunburn) that affect only the outer layer of skin

• Second-Degree – Deeper burns that cause blistering, pain, and may lead to infection

• Third-Degree – Full-thickness burns that destroy all skin layers and may damage nerves

• Fourth-Degree – The most severe, penetrating into muscle, fat, and even bone

Even with treatment, severe burns can result in:

• Permanent physical disfigurement

• Limited mobility or loss of function

• Emotional trauma and PTSD

• Long-term medical debt

Burn injuries happen fast—and often because someone didn’t take safety seriously. Many burn victims suffer life-altering injuries in situations that could have been avoided.

We handle burn injury cases involving:

• Vehicle fires or post-collision explosions

• Workplace accidents involving hot surfaces or electrical hazards

• Construction site burns from chemicals or exposed wiring

• Apartment fires due to landlord negligence

• Defective household appliances or electronics

• Unsafe premises lacking fire exits or smoke alarms

• Medical malpractice involving radiation or chemical exposure

To win your case, we must prove negligence—that another party owed you a duty of care, breached it, and caused your injuries. Our legal team investigates thoroughly, gathering every piece of evidence needed to make your case undeniable.

Burn cases often require complex investigation and expert input. We don’t cut corners.

We may work with:

• Fire investigators to analyze the origin and cause of the fire

• Medical specialists to document your injuries and prognosis

• Economists to estimate your long-term financial losses

• Safety engineers or product experts to identify defective conditions

With a clear chain of evidence and expert testimony, we build strong, trial-ready cases that maximize compensation—whether through settlement or litigation.

Burn injuries are among the most expensive injuries to treat. Insurance companies know this—and will often lowball settlement offers to limit their exposure. Having an experienced burn injury attorney on your side can make a measurable difference in both outcome and peace of mind.

We take over the burden so you can focus on recovery.

Our legal team will:

• Handle all communications with insurers and opposing parties

• Thoroughly investigate the cause and source of your burn

• Preserve critical evidence before it’s lost or destroyed

• Identify all liable parties (including companies, property owners, or manufacturers)

• Calculate the true value of your losses—both current and future

• Negotiate aggressively and take your case to court if necessary

We don’t just file paperwork—we build compelling, evidence-backed claims designed to win.

You won’t pay us anything unless we win your case. That’s how confident we are in our ability to deliver results. You focus on recovery—we’ll handle the legal fight.

At The Law Offices of Omar Khawaja, we’ve handled complex personal injury cases involving burn victims, wrongful death, and catastrophic trauma. We don’t back down from tough cases—and we don’t let insurers dictate what your pain is worth.
