Victims of burn injuries face long-term disability and a life-time of medical care. In order to ensure our clients receive damages proportional to their needs, Rourke & Blumenthal consults life care planners, economists, occupational therapists, and medical professionals in determining the full financial impact of a burn injury. When explosions, auto accidents, building fires, or chemical burns are involved, we assemble a team of investigative experts to determine how the fire started and how it could have been prevented had a business owner, manufacturer, employer, or driver exercised a proper duty of care towards the safety of others.
