Philadelphia Burn Injury Attorney
A burn injury is among the most painful and traumatic experiences a person can endure. Beyond the physical damage, burn victims often suffer emotional distress, scarring, and long-term medical complications. At Wilk Law Firm, our Philadelphia burn injury attorneys fight to ensure victims receive the justice and financial recovery they need to rebuild their lives after devastating accidents.
Common Causes of Burn Injuries in Philadelphia
Burn injuries can occur in many different settings — at home, at work, or in public places — and are often caused by negligence. Common causes include:
- Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
- Workplace and construction fires
- Electrical accidents
- Chemical exposure
- Defective products or appliances
- Gas explosions or building fires
- Scalding from hot liquids or steam
If your injury resulted from someone else’s carelessness or unsafe conditions, you have the right to pursue full compensation.
Types of Burn Injuries
Burn injuries are classified by severity and depth. Our Philadelphia burn injury lawyers handle cases involving:
- First-degree burns: Affecting only the outer skin layer (epidermis)
- Second-degree burns: Damaging deeper layers of skin and causing blistering
- Third-degree burns: Destroying all layers of the skin and underlying tissue
- Fourth-degree burns: Extending into muscle, fat, and bone
Even a “minor” burn can lead to severe pain, infection, and permanent scarring. We work with medical professionals to assess the full impact of your injuries and build a strong case for recovery.
Long-Term Consequences of Burn Injuries
The effects of burn injuries extend beyond physical pain. Victims may face:
- Permanent scarring or disfigurement
- Loss of mobility or function in affected limbs
- Chronic pain and nerve damage
- Infection and medical complications
- Psychological trauma, including PTSD
- Extensive medical and cosmetic treatment costs
Our legal team ensures your claim covers not only your immediate medical needs but also your long-term recovery and emotional wellbeing.

Burn injury victims often face steep financial and emotional challenges. At Wilk Law Firm, we fight to recover compensation for:
- Medical expenses and reconstructive surgery
- Rehabilitation and physical therapy
