Burn & Electrocution Workers’ Compensation Lawyer
High-voltage contact, arc flashes, chemical burns, and fire-related injuries cause catastrophic workplace injuries that require long rehabilitation and often leave permanent disfigurement.
Why These Cases Get Contested
Severe burns involve multi-year medical treatment and disfigurement awards (specific-loss for facial scarring in PA and MD, serious disfigurement in NJ, Schedule Loss of Use in NY). We coordinate with burn-center specialists and vocational experts to maximize recovery.
Benefits You May Be Entitled To
Wage-loss benefits at roughly two-thirds of your average weekly wage, all reasonable and necessary medical care (including surgery, physical therapy, and prescription medications), permanent-disability payments for lasting impairment, and third-party recovery if the injury was caused or contributed to by someone other than your employer.
State-Specific Rules Matter
Pennsylvania uses panel providers for the first 90 days and the Impairment Rating Evaluation at 104 weeks. New Jersey’s insurer controls physician selection throughout the claim. New York allows worker choice of physician from the authorized list. Maryland allows free physician choice from day one. We handle all four.
