We serve individuals across Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, and beyond.

Why Salt Lake City Burn Injury Clients Work with Us

Our attorneys carry nearly 100 years of collective legal experience and have tried dozens of complex tort cases to verdict, including catastrophic injury and wrongful death litigation. That courtroom depth matters in burn injury cases, where liability disputes are frequently contested, and damages can run into the millions. We’ve handled more than 150 cases with recoveries exceeding $1 million, and our attorneys have earned Super Lawyers recognition alongside multi-year Legal Elite selections from the Utah Business Journal.

One thing that sets us apart for burn injury clients specifically: our elder care injury division. It’s one of the state’s only practice groups of its kind focused on elder abuse, neglect, and nursing home injury cases. Burns caused by unsafe bathing water temperatures or unsupervised hazards in care facilities fall squarely within what this team handles every day. If a loved one was burned in a nursing home or assisted living setting, we have the legal framework to pursue those claims. Through affiliations and co-counsel relationships, we can also draw on broader legal networks and case-building resources when a claim calls for it.

How Burn Injuries Happen in Negligence Cases

Thermal burns, chemical burns, and electrical burns each arise from different circumstances, but they share a common thread in litigation: someone failed in a duty of care. Identifying the source of the burn determines which legal theory applies and who bears responsibility.

Common causes in Salt Lake City burn accident cases:

Product liability: Defective batteries, appliances, or industrial equipment that ignite or overheat
Premises liability: Inadequate fire safety measures, exposed wiring, or chemical storage failures on commercial or residential properties
Workplace incidents: Welding accidents, chemical exposure, or contact with electrical equipment on job sites
Vehicle fires: Post-crash fires resulting from fuel system failures or manufacturing defects
Care facility neglect: Scalding from improperly regulated water temperatures or unsupervised hazards in nursing homes

Identifying the liable party, whether a manufacturer, property owner, employer, or facility operator, is the first step. We build that picture thoroughly before any demand or filing.

Compensation Available to Burn Injury Victims

The financial toll of a serious burn injury compounds quickly. Skin grafts and reconstructive surgery are expensive. Extended hospital stays and outpatient care add up. Then come lost wages and, in many cases, lasting disfigurement that affects a person’s ability to earn and live as they did before.

A burn injury claim can pursue compensation for:

Medical expenses, including skin grafts, reconstructive surgery, and ongoing care
Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
Pain and suffering tied to scarring or disfigurement
Wrongful death damages, including funeral and burial expenses, when a burn injury proves fatal

Start with a Free Consultation

We don’t want cost to stand between you and legal help after a traumatic injury. Our attorneys offer free initial consultations so you can understand where your case stands before making any decisions. We’re available in English and Spanish.

Utah Filing Deadlines for Burn Injury Claims

Utah law sets firm deadlines on personal injury and wrongful death claims, and missing them can end your ability to pursue compensation. Under Utah Code § 78B-2-307, most personal injury claims must be filed within four years of the date of injury. Wrongful death claims carry a shorter window: generally two years from the date of death.

Claims against a Utah government entity, such as a public institution or municipality, require an additional step. A notice of claim must typically be submitted within one year of the injury before a lawsuit can proceed. If a government agency or employee contributed to your burn, that deadline applies separately from the standard filing period. Speaking with an attorney as soon as possible can help protect your right to file.

Burns Caused by Nursing Home Neglect

Care facilities carry a legal duty to protect residents from foreseeable harm. When that duty breaks down, burns are among the most serious and documentable injuries that result. Unsafe bathing water temperatures, unsupervised smoking, and improperly maintained heating equipment are among the conditions that give rise to these injuries. Under applicable negligence standards, a burn caused by a facility’s failure to supervise or maintain safe conditions can constitute elder abuse or neglect. These cases require documentation of the facility’s practices, staffing records, and compliance history, all of which we pursue in building a claim.

The University of Utah Health Burn Center is the only American Burn Association verified burn center in the Intermountain West, treating adult and pediatric patients with severe injuries.
