Burn Injury Lawyer in Durham
Helping Burn Survivors & Their Families
Burn injuries are among the most painful and catastrophic injuries an individual can endure. They can occur in various settings, from workplace accidents to residential fires. In Durham, North Carolina, burn victims often face significant medical expenses, rehabilitation efforts, and emotional trauma.
Burn injuries are classified based on severity: first-degree burns affect the outer layer of skin, second-degree burns damage the underlying layers, and third-degree burns extend to deeper tissues. In addition to medical trauma, victims may experience anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as they cope with their recovery and changes in their appearance or abilities. The financial strain accompanying these injuries, combined with the challenge of returning to work or adjusting to a new lifestyle, can further exacerbate these mental health issues. Addressing both physical and emotional recovery through comprehensive legal strategies ensures victims receive the support they need.

"20 out of 10 stars."There are times in your life you are so hurt and feel life has a grudge against you. Nothing in your life is going right. I lost the most important person in my life to death, of which I knew mistakes were made because I witnessed it with my own eyes. When you contact a law group you most of the time get all business and a matter of fact conversation. I want all to know that from the first phone call they listened to my lengthy story, sobbing most of the time with so much compassion. They never made any promises but offered assurances that no stone would be unturned. They fulfilled every word they said. They restored faith that I had lost. Until you are in a position like mine you can never know how invaluable Lanier Law Group is. They were wonderful while maintaining their professionalism. They treated me like a family member. They really do care about their clients. But most of all they are the best at what they do. I worked in the court system for years so I knew how attorneys and law firms basically operated. Understanding the law and it's interpretation is the ultimate key to winning any case. Also know that if an attorney/attorneys study and review your case and know that you don't have a chance in a court of law and are big enough to tell you that instead of giving you false hope, you then my friend have a group with valuable shared values. I have so much respect for everyone in this Law Group. I recommend Lanier Law Group, P.A. to anyone who needs representation, they are in your corner. 20 out of 10 stars.- Diane W.

"Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members"I started working with Lanier Law Group in 2020 on my Social Security Disability case. They from start to finish were awesome. My case manager Janet Hanks and attorney, Ashley Sappenfield were always available to answer all my questions. I did not have to do much but sit back and let them handle whatever was needed. My case took too long (2 years) and if I did not have Janet and Ashley My case would still not be approved. I would recommend Lanier to anyone to get the job done and approved. Do not go to another firm with your case, who promise the world and do not see it to completion and do not think another firms would have worked as hard as they did on my case. Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members to handle any cases of this type and other legal services they provide. They went above and beyond!- Phillip J.

Mrs. Gonzalez was very helpful with helping me understand things that I was not aware of when dealing with insurance claims. I am so thankful for her expertise and professionalism.- Mario H.
