Advocacy and Support for Burn Injury Victims

Burn injuries are among the most painful and traumatic injuries a person can suffer. Beyond the immediate medical crisis, burns can cause long-term physical, emotional, and financial challenges for both victims and their families. At Calvert Law Firm, we know the path to recovery is long—and that justice and compensation are critical for healing. Our Oklahoma burn injury lawyers provide compassionate counsel, aggressive advocacy, and personal attention from day one.

Types and Causes of Burn Injuries

Burns can happen in countless ways, but the most serious injuries often result from:

• Residential and commercial fires (homes, apartments, workplaces)
• Motor vehicle and large truck accidents
• Oilfield, industrial, and construction site accidents
• Chemical spills or explosions
• Defective products (heaters, kitchen appliances, electronics)
• Electrical accidents and electrocution
• Scalding from hot liquids or steam
• Faulty wiring or negligent property maintenance

We represent clients with all degrees and types of burns, including:

• First-degree burns: Affecting only the outer layer of skin (epidermis)
• Second-degree burns: Affecting deeper skin layers, causing blisters and severe pain
• Third-degree burns: Destroying all skin layers and possibly underlying tissue—may require grafts and result in permanent scarring

The Lasting Impact of Burn Injuries

Serious burns are medical emergencies that often require:

• Emergency care, hospitalization, and ICU treatment
• Skin grafts, reconstructive surgery, and ongoing wound care
• Infection control and repeated procedures
• Physical therapy and rehabilitation
• Treatment for scarring, disfigurement, and contractures
• Pain management and psychological support

Many burn victims also face:

• Permanent scarring and loss of mobility
• Loss of sensation or function in affected areas
• Emotional trauma, depression, and PTSD
• Social stigma and loss of self-esteem
• Inability to work or participate in favorite activities
