Richmond Burn Injury Lawyer for Severe Accidents

Serious Burn Injuries and Their Aftermath

Second- and third-degree burns are among the most painful injuries imaginable. They often lead to long hospital stays, repeated surgeries, and permanent scarring. Blank & Marcus helps burn victims in Richmond and Central Virginia recover compensation for both physical and emotional suffering.

Burns may result from house fires, apartment fires, car crashes involving explosions, workplace accidents, defective products, or scalding liquids. Each case requires thorough investigation to determine liability.


Burn victims often face graft surgeries, risk of infection, and permanent disfigurement. Beyond the physical injuries, psychological scars can last a lifetime.
