Recovering from a burn injury requires the expertise of many specialists—from medical professionals to mental health providers and beyond. But one critical area often overlooked is access to quality legal advice in matters such as personal injury, disability, and workers’ compensation.
Because burn cases are complex and resource-intensive, only a small number of attorneys have the experience, proven record, and financial capacity to pursue them effectively. That’s why it’s important to speak with an attorney early—and to ensure that attorney is a reputable and recognized professional in fire, burn, and explosion cases.
In our State of the Survivor Report, many in our community shared that they lacked access to qualified legal guidance. In response, Phoenix Society has launched the Phoenix Legal Referral Line.
The Phoenix Legal Referral Line is a resource to connect burn survivors and their families with attorneys experienced in:
Burn Injury
Disability
Workers Comp
Participating attorneys are not agents or representatives of Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors. Each attorney holds sufficient malpractice insurance, is in good standing with their State Bar Association, and as a demonstrated history of serving individuals with burn injuries.
Whether you use our referral program or find an attorney independently, know that most experienced burn lawyers offer a free initial consultation—with no out-of-pocket cost or obligation. Because early legal advice can protect your rights and provide valuable insight into your options, we encourage you to consult a qualified attorney as soon as possible after a burn injury.
This is a referral service only.
Many caregivers contact us because they want to protect their loved one’s future and ensure they get the support they need. The Legal Referral Line can help you explore options, understand next steps, and connect with experienced legal professionals who can support your family’s long-term recovery.
