Our team offers a free initial consultation to go over all your legal options. To get started today, speak with a member of our staff and call 1-800-JUSTICE.
Common Causes Of Burn Injuries
Skin burns can happen in a number of ways. Preszler Injury Lawyers has helped Guelph residents who suffered severe skin burns in the following situations and more:
Residential Fires
If your burn occurred in a residential fire, we will help you figure out who was responsible for the fire and pursue them for compensation. That goes for fires that have intentional as well as accidental causes.
Commercial Fires
If you were injured in a fire that occurred in a commercial or business setting, we will investigate and determine who might be liable for your injuries.
Cooking Accidents
We have helped many burn victims who suffered injuries while cooking. These injuries often occur because of damaged or defective appliances, and we can go after the manufacturer for damages.
Chemical Burns
Not all burns result from fires. Many chemicals can burn skin. In some cases, another party will be liable for your chemical burn. We will identify that party and go after them for damages.
No matter how your burn occurred, the lasting results can be very damaging, not just physically but emotionally and psychologically, as well. You deserve compensation for your medical bills, time away from work, and reduced earning capacity, as well as for the non-economic damages you have suffered, such as pain and suffering.
Preszler Injury Lawyers defends burn injury victims, pursuing the responsible party for compensation and, if necessary, taking on their insurance company and seeing to it that our clients are compensated fairly. To speak with a member of our staff today, call us at 1-800-JUSTICE.

How A Guelph Personal Injury Lawyer May Be Able To Help
Preszler Injury Lawyers believes in pursuing compensation for our clients. Depending on how your injury occurred and who was responsible, you may be eligible for much more than the money it takes to cover your out-of-pocket costs and lost wages. You might be able to recover damages for the physical, emotional, and psychological pain you have and may continue to suffer because of your injury.
We may be able to help you recover a settlement or award that includes compensation for the following and more:
Current And Future Medical Bills
If someone else was responsible for a skin burn injury, we will go after them for the cost of your current and future medical bills. This includes any hospital stays, doctor visits, physical therapy, rehabilitation, surgeries, psychologist or psychiatrist appointments, prescription medications, and more.
Lost Wages
If you have missed work because of your skin burn injury, we will try to recover the value of your lost wages from the responsible party and their insurance company.
Reduced Earning Capacity
In the event of a severe, disfiguring burn, your earning capacity might be diminished on a Long-Term basis. This is especially true if you had a front-facing job that involved working with the public, such as marketing or outside sales. We can help you recover compensation to cover the difference between what you used to be able to earn and what you can earn now.
Pain And Suffering
We pursue compensation to pay you for the physical, emotional, and psychological distress your skin burn injury has caused.

personal injury FAQs
Here are some commonly asked questions for personal injury claims
How long does it typically take to resolve a personal injury case in Ontario?
Timelines vary. Some cases resolve in months, while others take years if litigation becomes necessary. Factors include injury severity, available evidence, and how insurers respond.
Do I need a lawyer if the insurance company has made an offer?
Insurance companies often make low offers hoping victims will accept quickly. A lawyer reviews your case to determine whether the offer reflects your losses.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
You may still have a valid claim even if you believe you were partially at fault. Ontario’s laws permit you to recover compensation in cases of shared responsibility, though the final amount may reflect your portion of fault. Never assume you cannot file a claim. Let a lawyer assess the facts first.
How long does a personal injury case typically take?
That will depend on the severity of your injuries and the insurer’s willingness to negotiate.
What costs are involved in pursuing a personal injury claim?
Preszler Injury Lawyers works on contingency, so you don’t pay legal fees unless we recover compensation for you.
Can I still claim compensation if the accident happened on someone else’s property?
Yes. Property owners must maintain safe premises. If their negligence caused your injury, you may have a valid claim.
What should I bring to my free consultation?
Bring any documents you have related to the accident. This includes police reports, your driver’s licence and insurance information, the other party’s information, photos of the scene or your injuries, and any receipts for expenses like prescriptions or therapy. The more information you provide, the better we can assess your claim.
Why is it important to document my injuries and recovery process?
Keeping a simple journal helps track how your injuries affect your daily life. Note your pain levels, medical appointments, missed work or social activities, and any challenges you face with personal care or household chores. This documentation provides powerful evidence to support your claim for pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.
