Our Vienna Attorneys Can Seek Appropriate Burn Injury Damages for You
A burn injury can change how you live, work, and see yourself. Not only is the injury itself very painful, but the accident that caused it was deeply traumatizing as well. The emotional scars inflicted by the accident and the injury may affect your life for years to come.
The Vienna burn injury lawyers at the Parrish Law Firm, PLLC, want nothing more than to make your life easier during this difficult time. That includes fighting for damages like:
Non-economic Damages Related to the Burn
Depending on the severity and location of your burn, you may experience:
- “Pain and suffering” and inconvenience
- Disability
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Reduced quality of life
The insurer may try to undervalue the extent of your suffering. Our burn injury attorneys in Vienna can fight against these attempts, using personal statements and other evidence to prove that you deserve every dollar you have asked for. While we do the fighting, you can spend more time recovering and learning to cope with permanent injuries.
Burn-Related Medical Expenses
Depending on how serious your burn injuries are, you may only need treatment from Tysons Emergency or Inova Fairfax Hospital Emergency Room. In other cases, you may need to be transferred to a burn center in Richmond, such as Evans-Haynes Burn Center.
The more serious your burn, the more likely it is that you will need lengthy, expensive treatments to regain your health, including:
- Hospital stays
- Surgical procedures, like skin grafts
- Physical therapy
- Psychiatric care
You should not have to worry about how you will afford medical care. Our Vienna burn injury law firm can communicate with the insurance company on your behalf and negotiate until it agrees to pay for all of the treatments you need, both now and in the future.
One of the benefits of hiring our personal injury attorneys is that you do not have to collect any of this evidence on your own. The Parrish Law Firm, PLLC, can take photos, collect receipts, and request the police report from the Vienna Police Department. Then, we can design a customized case plan to get you the money you need.
What Kinds of Burn Injury Cases Does Our Vienna Law Firm Accept?
The Parrish Law Firm, PLLC, is prepared to help Vienna residents who have been through:
- Car accidents: Violent car crashes sometimes result in heat, fire, and explosions. This may be more likely to happen if the accident occurs when you are traveling at a high rate of speed, like when you drive down I-66. Our Vienna car accident lawyers can establish a burn injury case on your behalf.
- Other kinds of traffic accidents: Similarly, truck and motorcycle crashes can lead to catastrophic burn injuries, especially if the truck was carrying flammable cargo or a great deal of fuel. A Vienna truck accident lawyer can help you fight for compensation.

Protect Yourself From Insurance Companies After a Burn Injury
Assuming that the liable party in your case is properly insured, it is their insurance company, rather than the liable party themselves, that will pay your compensation. In some ways, this is good news, as insurance companies have more resources to pay injury victims than most individuals do.
Unfortunately, there is also a downside: insurers often do what they can to minimize what they have to pay to accident victims. You might run into insurers that:
- Push you to accept a fast settlement that does not reflect your case’s true value
- Look for “evidence” that you are exaggerating the severity of your injuries and related costs
- Use AI to quickly reject a large number of claims, regardless of whether those claims are valid or not
Jim Parrish knows how these insurers operate and how to protect you against them.
Our Attorneys Protect Vienna Residents From Insurance Companies

- Managing all communications with the insurer, including negotiating with them for a settlement
- Urging you to contact us immediately if the insurer tries to talk directly to you (Instead of responding, give them our phone number and say you want all contact to go through your burn injury law firm from now on.)
- Informing you of the warning signs that may indicate the insurance company is not acting in good faith
After a burn injury, you deserve a peaceful, stress-free environment in which to recuperate. Our accident injury lawyers in Vienna can provide that by confronting the insurance company on your behalf and pursuing the money that you need to recover as completely as possible.
