Serious Burns
Rely on a focused Tennessee burn injury lawyer
Burn injuries are painful and can result in disfigurement, as well as long-term emotional suffering. If you or a loved one sustained a serious burn injury as a result of someone’s negligence, an attorney at Meade Law Group is prepared to discuss your legal options. Call (423) 464-7779 now. You may be entitled to compensation for your losses. A Tennessee burn injury lawyer with our firm may be able to help you negotiate the settlement you deserve or take the case to trial if necessary. House fires account for many burn injuries. In some cases, the landlord may be responsible. For example, a landlord may have neglected to fix faulty wiring that sparked a fire. In such a case, the landlord may be responsible in a premises liability case.
Examples of Burn Injuries
The following are some different types of burn injuries:
- Contact with fire or flame: A car accident or explosion at a factory may cause a thermal burn.
- Contact with chemicals: Some defective products may cause a chemical burn. A chemical burn injury also may be a result of inhalation of toxic fumes.
- Contact with scalding liquid: An example of a scalding burn injury is contact with extremely hot water coming from a tap. Business owners and landlords may be negligent for failing to maintain a safe water heater temperature (less than 120 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Electrical burns: This type of injury may be the result of a defective product, such as a malfunctioning toaster.
First to Fourth Degree Burns
The severity of burn injuries is measured in degrees:
- First degree burns include minor pain and redness of the skin.
- Second degree burns include blisters and superficial destruction of the dermis.
- Third degree burns extend into the deeper tissue, causing destruction of both the epidermis and the dermis.
- Fourth degree burns destroy the skin and sometimes damage muscle, fascia or bone.

I cannot recommend Mac Meade highly enough. Facing a criminal charge is incredibly stressful, but from our very first meeting, he made me feel heard and respected. He never once judged me for my situation; instead, he focused entirely on how to help me. He is a fierce advocate who provided calm, expert guidance and secured a very favorable outcome.

"Best lawyer that you could ever ask for."
Mac is the best lawyer in East Tennessee. He done everything he said he would. It's hard to find a lawyer that will do what they say they will do. He got my charges dropped you couldn't ask for a better man. Thank you Mac.- James -
The first thing that struck me about Mac was that he is very prompt about getting back with you on emails or phone calls. I met with him and he was very attentive and made me comfortable immediately by just the way he talked and reassured me.- Dianne
