How We Prove Liability
Burn injury cases require identifying the source of the fire, explosion, or chemical exposure and determining who was responsible for preventing it. Product manufacturers can be liable for defective designs that create fire hazards, while employers and property owners can be liable for failing to maintain safe conditions. The severity of burn injuries and the extensive treatment required make these cases high value claims that demand thorough investigation and expert support.
Texas Legal Framework
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code allows recovery of all medical expenses including the multiple surgeries, skin grafts, and years of scar revision treatment that burn victims typically require. Product liability claims for defective products causing burns are governed by Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 82. When employer negligence causes workplace burns, injured workers may pursue third party claims in addition to workers compensation benefits under Texas Labor Code Chapter 417.

Frequently Asked Questions
At Medina & Medina, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and no fees unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery.
In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are exceptions that may shorten or extend this deadline, so it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages. The amount depends on the specific circumstances of your case.
While you’re not required to have a lawyer, having experienced legal representation typically results in higher settlements. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working for them, and you deserve someone advocating for your interests too.
Compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and impact on your life. Contact Medina & Medina for a free evaluation of your case.
Helpful evidence includes police reports, medical records, photos of the scene, witness statements, and insurance information. Our team will help you gather all necessary documentation.
