Why Hire Our Richmond Accident Injury Lawyers?
You and your family have been through a terrible, frightening experience. No matter how much you need or want financial compensation, it can be difficult to marshal the physical, emotional, and intellectual resources necessary to pursue legal action against the at-fault party.
Instead of trying to manage your case alone, let our burn injury attorneys in Richmond fight for everything you need, including reimbursement for:
The Medical Costs of Treating Burn Injuries
This may be your primary concern after the accident, and rightfully so: treating burns can be a long, painful, and expensive process.
According to the Virginia Department of Health (VDH), there are two burn centers right here in Richmond: Chippenham Hospital and the Evans-Haynes Burn Center. Fair compensation can pay for any treatment you receive there or elsewhere, including:
- Ambulance rides or other emergency transportation
- Emergency treatment
- Skin grafts and other surgical procedures
- Medications
- Rehabilitation and therapy
- Assistive devices
- In-home care
Your Physical and Emotional Burn Injury Symptoms
The pain and trauma associated with your injuries could entitle you to compensation for:
- “Pain and suffering” and inconvenience
- Temporary and permanent disabilities
- Disfigurement and scar tissue
- Lost independence or quality of life
The Loss of Income Associated With Your Burn Injury
It can take a long time to recover from a burn, during which time your ability to go to work may be very limited. If your burns result in permanent disabilities, you might never be able to work again, putting your family in a very difficult position.
Our personal injury attorneys in Richmond can support you and your loved ones by seeking compensation for:
- Past lost wages
- Future loss of earning capacity
- Lost jobs or job opportunities

When to Start Your Richmond Burn Injury Case
Our burn injury lawyers want you to know that you only have two years to start your lawsuit. If you fail to meet the deadline codified in Va. Code § 8.01-243, your case will more than likely be dismissed, and you will get nothing.
This deadline, called the statute of limitations, is not the only reason to start your case right away:
- You deserve to get your money as quickly as possible.
- Evidence may start to lose value or disappear as time goes on.
- Witness testimony may not be as accurate the longer we wait to record it.
- The insurance company may interpret delays as a sign that your injuries are not that bad.
The Deadline for Fatal Richmond Burn Injuries
If your loved one passed away because of their burn injuries, please accept our condolences for your loss. The Richmond wrongful death lawyers at the Parrish Law Firm, PLLC, can help you file a legal case within the two-year deadline set by the state for wrongful death cases.
Through a wrongful death claim, your family could recover money for funeral expenses and loss of financial support.
How Serious Is Your Richmond Burn Injury?
According to the Cleveland Clinic, burn injuries range in severity from painful but mild (first-degree burns) to disfiguring and disabling (third-degree burns). Even if you do not believe your burn is very serious, it is vital to seek medical help immediately. This is because:
- Not all injury symptoms present right away.
- You may still be too much in shock to register burn symptoms, especially if you suffered other injuries that distract you from the burn.
- Severe burns can damage nerves, which means that an incredibly severe burn could be painless.
- Delaying medical care could lead the insurance company to accuse you of exaggerating or faking your injuries.
- Seeing a doctor can prevent unnecessary pain or complications (such as infections) down the line.
The Richmond burn injury attorneys at the Parrish Law Firm, PLLC, always recommend that you get medical attention first thing after any burn injury. We can use your medical record to help prove your case for financial compensation against the negligent party.
