New Mexico Burn Injury Lawyer

There are few types of injuries more painful, debilitating and complex than burn injuries. A single burn injury can affect not only skin and nerves, but blood vessels, muscles, connective tissue and bone. In addition to the physical pain caused by a burn injury, you can also experience a loss of flexibility and dexterity, as well as permanent scarring and disfigurement. All these factors can make it extremely difficult to determine the full extent of your losses. Buchanan Law has the experience, skill, knowledge and resources to fully protect your rights.

At Buchanan Law Firm, LLC we have more than 20 years of high-level personal injury experience, including representation in burn injury cases. We have our principal office in Albuquerque and meeting space in Santa Fe, but we can meet with you face-to-face anywhere across the state of New Mexico. Though attorney Deena Buchanan has handled legal issues in more than 20 states, we focus our practice on claims arising in New Mexico. We have an extensive understanding of the laws and courts in the Land of Enchantment, as well as how judges try personal injury cases.

Attorney Buchanan offers unique experience to her personal injury clients. A victim of personal injury herself, Deena knows how it can change everything in an instant. She’s also worked as a defense lawyer in personal injury litigation, so she knows how insurance companies prepare their cases.  She’s a seasoned trial attorney who’s handled and tried a number of complex, high-stakes cases, including wrongful death claims. She’s earned the respect of clients, colleagues and judges for her ability to stay calm and composed in any situation.

Our Representation in Burn Injury Claims

When you hire us to help protect your rights after a burn injury, we’ll start by conducting a thorough investigation of the facts and circumstances of your accident. We’ll even travel to the scene, if necessary. Burn injuries are far more complex than meets the eye, so we’ll typically work with expert witnesses, who can help a judge and jury understand the full extent of your current and future losses.

We handle all types of burn injury claims, including cases involving:

  • Heat, fire, scald or steam-related burns
  • Electrical burns
  • Chemical burns
  • Burns from explosions

We’ll help you pursue compensation for all your losses, including lost pay, medical expenses, loss of enjoyment of life, physical pain and suffering, and loss of consortium or companionship. We take all types of burn injury claims, including serious and catastrophic injury or wrongful death.
