Burn Injuries – Negligence Explained

As personal injury and accident attorneys, the lawyers at Cunningham Law in Phoenix AZ represent plaintiffs across America looking for justice from those who have caused them injury through negligence or wrongdoing.

Our personal injury law firm specializes in burn injury cases nationwide; we seek financial compensation on behalf of clients who have been physically or psychologically injured due to the negligence or wrongdoing of another person or party.  In wrongful death cases, we represent families who have suffered the death of a loved one due to the negligence of others.

But just what is negligence?

Negligence can be described as follows; it is the failure of a person, or a business, organization or entity to use reasonable care.  Negligence may consist of action or inaction, and by that we mean that negligence is doing something that a reasonably prudent person would ordinarily not do, or failing to do something that a reasonably prudent person ordinarily would do under similar circumstances.

Proving negligence is the key to success in a burn injury claim; our goal is to help our clients obtain fair compensation for their burn injury through either a settlement or verdict. Our burn injury and accident attorneys handle burn injury cases and clients nationwide.
