Types of Burn Injury Claims We Defend
Burn injury lawsuits can arise in many different contexts. Our team has deep experience assessing the facts of these cases, identifying weaknesses in the plaintiff's claims, and building a defense that is grounded in the evidence. We also consult with expert witnesses when needed, such as fire investigators, engineers, or medical professionals, to bolster your case.

Challenging Liability and Causation
One of the key aspects of any personal injury case is proving liability. In burn injury claims, plaintiffs must show that someone else’s negligence or intentional conduct caused their injuries. As defense attorneys, we carefully examine the alleged cause of the fire or burn incident to determine if our client is truly at fault or if other parties—or factors—played a more significant role.
We may investigate:
- Whether proper safety protocols were followed
- If the injured party contributed to or caused the accident
- Whether the burn was the result of a product misuse or third-party negligence
- The accuracy of eyewitness accounts or expert reports
In many cases, burn injuries can stem from multiple causes. We focus on establishing reasonable doubt and highlighting alternative explanations that support our client’s position.
Evaluating Damages and Fighting Inflated Claims
Burn injuries can involve complex calculations of damages, especially when claims include pain and suffering, lost wages, disfigurement, or long-term care needs. While we understand the serious nature of these injuries, it is also our job to ensure that the damages sought are based on objective evidence—not speculation or emotional appeal.
Griffith Law Group works to:
- Dispute unreasonable or unsupported medical cost estimates
- Challenge assumptions about future lost earnings or disability
- Examine the plaintiff’s efforts to mitigate their damages
- Verify the validity of treatment plans and medical necessity
We are skilled negotiators and trial lawyers who are not afraid to question the narrative presented by the opposing party. When necessary, we prepare each case for court, knowing that a well-prepared defense can often lead to favorable settlements—or complete dismissals.
