South Carolina Burn Injury Lawyers
Compensation for Victims of Fires, Explosions or Electric Shock
Few injuries are more painful than severe burns. Aside from the accident itself, every phase of healing can be excruciating. Reconstructive surgery and physical therapy may last years, and the disfigurement takes an emotional toll.
The personal injury attorneys of Pierce, Herns, Sloan & McLeod LLC offer compassionate representation and aggressive pursuit of damages against those responsible. Based in Charleston, we have won prosecuted cases for clients across South Carolina. Contact us at 843-277-9824 for a free consultation.

Burn Injury Accidents
Our trial lawyers have handled a wide range of burn injury and explosion cases:
- A house fire started by an electrical short
- A rental property fire with no smoke alarms
- Truck accidents and car accidents
- Fuel-fed fires from flawed gas tank design
- Construction site fires or explosions
- Train derailments (anhydrous ammonia and chlorine gas)
- Other chemical burns
- Electrical burns
- Inhalation of smoke or toxic fumes
- Severed limbs, eye injury and shrapnel wounds
Aggressive Pursuit of Full Damages
Burn injury victims often require multiple, painful skin grafts, and may be left with permanent scars and disfigurement. Many have permanent nerve damage or chronic pain. Inhaling toxic byproducts of fires may cause irreversible lung damage. We work with doctors to calculate future medical needs and lost earnings, and push for maximum compensation for reduced quality of life. This includes punitive damages when egregious negligence, intentional conduct or willful disregard for safety caused the accident.
If your loved one suffered a serious burn injury — or died from burns or asphyxiation — contact our Charleston law firm for a free initial consultation. We can make home and hospital visits.
