Willmar Burn Injury Lawyers
When you suffer chemical or heat-related burns in an accident that wasn’t your fault, you may have significant pain, a long recovery period, and financial setbacks.

Let our experienced Willmar burn injury lawyers at Tyroler Leonard Injury Law help you find evidence that proves negligence and gives you the best chance of winning your case.

Our Willmar, MN, burn injury accident lawyers will seek reimbursement for all the medical costs related to recovering from your injuries. You might need plastic surgery, skin grafts, or treatments for infections to deal with your burns. When someone else caused the accident and your injuries, that party’s insurance company should pay your medical costs.
Missed Time at Work

Our team works hard to find facts that show the value of your case, so we can determine if the offer from the insurer is fair.

Steps We Take After You Hire Tyroler Leonard Injury Law

FAQ: Let Our Willmar, MN, Burn Injury Attorneys Answer Any Questions You Have
If you have questions about how your personal injury case will work, our team of burn injury lawyers in Willmar is ready to answer them for you. We believe strongly in openly communicating with our clients, which helps us represent you in the most professional way. Here are some of the most common questions we hear from clients, along with our answers.
What Is the Statute of Limitations for a Burn Injury Claim in Minnesota?
The Minnesota statute of limitations (MN state statute 541.05) gives victims up to six years from the date of the accident to file an injury lawsuit. If you miss the statute of limitations deadline, you lose your ability to seek a financial award. Our burn injury attorneys in Willmar, MN, will ensure your case fits within the statute of limitations deadline.
How Soon Do I Need to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
You should hire a personal injury lawyer as soon after the accident as possible. Hiring our team to represent you early allows us to investigate the accident while the evidence is still readily available. We also can begin protecting you from unfair insurance company tactics when you hire us early. Even if you don’t call us right away, you can still hire our team at any time before you reach a settlement with the insurance company or before the statute of limitations expires.
What Are the Most Important Factors That Affect My Burn Injury Accident Claim?
The key factors that affect an injury accident claim include the severity of your injuries, the party responsible for the accident, and the skill and experience of our Willmar, MN, burn injury law firm. Victims who have less severe injuries or who may have contributed to the cause of the accident probably will end up seeking a lesser award amount.
Can a Burn Injury Occur to a Nursing Home Resident?
Yes, a burn injury accident can occur as part of a nursing home neglect injury claim. If the personal care team at the nursing home scalded your loved one with bath water that was too hot or by spilling coffee or tea, this could qualify your loved one for a financial award related to the injury.
Many of our clients who suffer burn injuries are going through a personal injury lawsuit for the first time. We understand that the prospect of filing an injury lawsuit and giving testimony in a deposition or in court can be daunting. By answering your questions and helping you prepare for everything that may occur during your case, we hope to give you confidence about the work we’ll do on your behalf.
