Explosion and Fire Injury Attorney in Louisiana

Injuries caused by unintentional fires and explosions, whether on the job or elsewhere, can often result in debilitating physical injuries, psychological damage and in the most serious cases, death. Unfortunately, people are injured due to fires and explosions in Louisiana every day that were not their fault.

Burn injuries from fires and explosions often require treatments including extensive surgeries, lengthy hospital stays and painful rehabilitation that can put you out of work for an extended period of time. Even though employers are required to provide workers with medical care for any injuries that happen on the job, insurance companies make receiving the compensation you deserve difficult to obtain. Not all explosions and fire accidents involve a workers compensation claim. In situations where you were injured due to the negligence of others, the injury attorneys at Gordon McKernan Injury Attorneys can help you get repayment for medical expenses, time off work, lost income, and rehabilitation for your injury.
