Burn injuries are among the most painful and challenging injuries a person can endure. They often require specialized medical care, surgeries, and long-term rehabilitation — and in severe cases, they can leave lasting scars and emotional trauma. At Wall, McLean & Gallagher, our burn injury lawyers in Helena help clients across Montana recover compensation after accidents caused by negligence, defective products, or unsafe conditions.
We understand the physical and emotional toll that severe burns can take. Our goal is to take on the legal burden so you can focus on healing, rebuilding your life, and planning for the future.
Vehicle collisions sometimes result in fires or explosions, leading to serious burn injuries. Victims may suffer burns from flames, hot metal, or leaking fuel. These cases often involve complex insurance claims and liability investigations. Our team works to hold negligent drivers, manufacturers, or other responsible parties accountable while pursuing compensation for medical treatment, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
House fires, apartment fires, and commercial building fires can cause devastating injuries. Burn victims may be entitled to compensation if the fire was caused by unsafe wiring, defective appliances, landlord negligence, or another party’s wrongdoing. We work with fire investigators and experts to determine the cause of the fire and build a strong case for recovery.
Chemical burns can happen in workplaces, labs, industrial facilities, or even from defective consumer products. These injuries may damage skin, eyes, or lungs and often require specialized medical care. Our attorneys investigate chemical burn cases thoroughly, determining whether an employer, manufacturer, or property owner may be liable for failing to provide proper safety measures or warnings.
Many burn injuries happen on the job — in construction, manufacturing, and other high-risk industries. Workers’ compensation in Montana generally covers medical bills and partial wage loss after workplace burn injuries. However, in some cases, a third-party claim may also be available, such as when defective equipment or a subcontractor’s negligence contributed to the accident. Our Helena burn injury lawyers help workers pursue both workers’ comp and additional claims where possible.
Explosions can cause catastrophic burn injuries as well as other serious trauma. These accidents may occur on oil fields, industrial sites, or even highways involving tanker trucks. We investigate explosion cases to determine liability, whether it involves a negligent company, a defective product, or another responsible party, and we fight to secure the compensation victims need for lifelong care.
Burn injuries often lead to scarring, disfigurement, nerve damage, and psychological effects such as anxiety and PTSD. Treatment may involve multiple surgeries, skin grafts, and long hospital stays. Recovery can be long and expensive, making it critical to seek full compensation that covers future medical needs, therapy, lost earning capacity, and emotional suffering.
