Burn injury claims
Burn injuries a distinct kind of personal injury case
Burn injuries are among the most devastating personal injuries a person can experience. The physical, psychological, and financial consequences of serious burns extend far beyond the initial trauma. Recovery requires years of reconstructive surgery, skin graft procedures, trauma therapy, and specialized nursing care that can cost millions over a lifetime.
Securing a Catastrophic designation for burn victims is one of the most important steps in a burn injury claim. Where burns cover a significant percentage of the body or result in permanent serious disfigurement, our personal injury lawyers pursue a CAT designation that unlocks over $1,000,000 in medical and rehabilitation funding. That is far beyond the standard $65,000 limit that would otherwise apply.
Motor vehicle accidents involving fuel leaks or vehicle fires are a leading cause of severe burn injuries in Ontario. Industrial explosions and workplace accidents cause some of the most extensive burn injuries our personal injury lawyers handle. Defective household products such as lithium-ion batteries, space heaters, and appliances are an increasingly common cause of burn injury claims. Scalding and chemical spills in commercial kitchens and industrial environments also regularly give rise to serious personal injury litigation.
Burn types
Types of burn injuries our personal injury lawyers handle
Thermal burns
Caused by flames, hot surfaces, steam, and vehicle fires in car accidents on the 401 and DVP.Chemical burns
Caused by industrial chemical spills, workplace accidents, and defective cleaning products.Electrical burns

Frequently Asked Questions
We answered all
How do I know if I need a personal injury lawyer?
If you have been injured in a bicycle accident, injured in a car accident, injured in a motorcycle accident, or injured in an accident of any kind caused by another party's negligence, a personal injury lawyer can help you pursue the full value of your claim and protect your rights. Many accident victims try to navigate claims without legal help and receive significantly less than they are entitled to. Contact our injury lawyers today for a free assessment.What does a personal injury lawyer cost?
Our personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. You pay no legal fees unless we win. We are completely upfront about all fees and expenses and ensure you understand the process fully before we begin.How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Ontario?
Generally, you have two years from the day you knew or ought to have known you had a claim, which is usually the date of the accident, to start a personal injury lawsuit. Accident benefits deadlines are much shorter and are measured in days. Contacting our personal injury lawyers as soon as possible after an accident is what protects those shorter deadlines.Can I still make a personal injury claim if I was partially at fault?
Yes. Ontario apportions contributory negligence under the Negligence Act, so you can still recover fair compensation even if you were partially responsible for the accident. The award will be adjusted based on your proportion of fault, but your right to receive fair compensation is not eliminated.What if insurance companies deny my claim?
Our personal injury lawyers regularly handle disputed claims and have extensive experience challenging insurance company denials. If an insurer refuses to accept your personal injury claim or offers an amount that does not reflect the losses caused by the accident, we fight back aggressively on your behalf.Do you handle catastrophic injury cases?
Yes. A large share of our personal injury work involves catastrophic injuries, including severe burn injuries, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and other serious personal injuries that require the highest level of medical funding and the most demanding evidence. Retaining our team early gives us the most room to build that evidence.
