Burn Injury Claims: Your Right to Recovery in Colorado
Greetings, I am an attorney with extensive experience in personal injury litigation, and I am here
Burn injuries are among the most painful, disfiguring, and emotionally traumatic harms a person can suffer. When these life-altering injuries are caused by someone else’s negligence, the physical, financial, and psychological impacts can be shattering.
If you or a loved one has suffered severe burns due to another’s carelessness, the compassionate legal team at Kennedy Injury Law in Castle Rock is here to help. We’ll fight to hold the responsible parties accountable and secure the compensation you need to heal and move forward.
Burn injuries can happen in a wide variety of settings and scenarios, but they are often the result of someone’s negligence. Common causes include:
When property owners, product manufacturers, employers, or other parties fail to prioritize safety, innocent victims pay the price. Our mission is to hold these negligent actors fully accountable.
Burns are categorized by degrees, with higher degrees indicating more severe damage to the skin and underlying tissues. Third and fourth-degree burns often require intensive medical intervention and cause permanent, life-altering harm:
Burn injury survivors often face a lifetime of physical limitations, ongoing medical needs, lost income, and diminished quality of life. Families who lose loved ones to catastrophic burns are left with an unfillable void and financial uncertainty.
Our goal is to secure the financial resources burn victims and families need to pay their bills, access top-quality medical care, adapt to their new reality, and find a measure of justice for their suffering.
Burn injury claims are complex, high-stakes matters. Proving fault requires an in-depth investigation to uncover critical evidence of negligence, such as:
Our skilled attorneys will move quickly to secure this vital proof before it’s destroyed or disappears. We’ll also consult with fire science experts, medical specialists, and vocational professionals to build a compelling case for liability and damages.
Defendants and insurers will go to great lengths to avoid responsibility for catastrophic burn injuries. We’ll be ready to counter their every denial and delay tactic with hard-hitting evidence and aggressive advocacy.
Burn injury victims often face staggering losses. Hospitalization, skin grafts, reconstructive surgeries, and rehabilitation can easily reach millions of dollars. Many survivors are unable to return to work and require lifelong care.
Our tenacious lawyers will fight to recover maximum compensation for all your losses, including:
We’ll work closely with your medical team, renowned burn experts, and economic loss specialists to fully document your injuries and demand every dollar you deserve. Our goal is to secure a settlement or verdict that provides for your needs now and for decades to come.
In cases of gross negligence or willful disregard for safety, we may also seek punitive damages. These are additional penalties intended to punish the wrongdoer and deter others from similar misconduct.
While money can never undo the trauma of a severe burn, it can provide vital resources and a measure of justice. It can also send a powerful message that careless behavior causing catastrophic harm will not be tolerated in our community.

Seek immediate medical attention, even if you think the burns are minor. Some injuries may be more serious than they appear. Once your condition is stable, contact an experienced burn injury lawyer who can protect your rights and advise you on next steps.
Most burn injury lawyers, including Kennedy Injury Law, work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay no upfront costs and the attorney only gets paid if they recover money for you. There’s no risk in calling for a free consultation.
Colorado follows a modified comparative fault rule. You can still recover compensation as long as your percentage of fault is less than the defendant’s. However, your damages will be reduced by your assigned percentage of blame. An attorney can help minimize allegations that you were at fault.
In most cases, work-related injuries are covered by workers’ compensation, which provides benefits regardless of fault. However, if a third party (not your employer) caused your burns, you may have a separate personal injury claim. An attorney can advise you on your options.
Colorado generally provides two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are exceptions that can shorten this deadline. Speak with a lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights.
The value of your claim depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, your long-term prognosis, your financial losses, and the available insurance coverage. An experienced attorney can evaluate your case and estimate what your claim may be worth. However, every case is unique, and there are no guarantees in litigation.
We start with a conversation—no pressure, no commitment. Tell us what happened and how it’s impacted your life.
We gather evidence, speak to witnesses, and consult experts to build the strongest case for you.
We handle everything from negotiating with insurance companies to representing you in court if needed. All while keeping you informed, so you always know what’s happening.
Once your case is resolved, you’ll have the financial compensation you need to move forward with confidence.
We’re where you need us, when you need us. With offices in Castle Rock and Greenwood Village, we serve clients throughout the Denver metro area.
