Understanding Burn Injury Claims in Washington & Oregon
Both Washington and Oregon law recognize the various types of burn injuries—thermal, chemical, electrical, and radiation burns—each carrying unique medical and legal challenges. The recovery process is often lengthy and expensive, involving surgeries, rehabilitation, and long-term care. As your burn injury lawyers serving clients throughout Washington and Oregon, we focus on navigating each state’s legal system to pursue the best possible results for your case.
A successful burn injury claim typically requires proving that another party’s negligence, recklessness, or breach of duty caused the injury. This can involve investigating unsafe workplaces, analyzing defective products, or reviewing detailed accident reports. Our attorneys are skilled in building strong, evidence-based cases that help clients hold negligent parties accountable and pursue full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
Local Regulations & Legal Procedures
Comparative Negligence Laws:
Both Washington and Oregon use a form of comparative negligence, which can reduce compensation based on the injured person’s percentage of fault. In Washington, this is pure comparative negligence, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were mostly at fault. Oregon follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which allows recovery only if you were less than 51% at fault. Understanding these distinctions is essential for maximizing compensation in your case.
Filing Requirements and Legal Timelines:
Each state has specific statutes of limitations and procedural rules for personal injury claims. In Washington, most personal injury cases must be filed within three years of the injury, while Oregon generally allows two years. Missing these deadlines can forfeit your right to pursue compensation.
At Palace Law, we ensure every step of the process—investigation, documentation, and filing—is handled meticulously and on time. Our legal team communicates regularly with insurance companies and opposing counsel to advocate aggressively for our clients, striving to achieve fair and timely resolutions.

I have worked with PALACE law for the last five years. On several occasions, my lawyer without her knowledge, has talk me off the edge when I was ready to give up. This company not only did they have my best interest, but also my well-being. I can not say enough positive things about my lawyer, Stefanie Carlton, she is always going above and beyond!

Totally a 5 star Law Firm. They actually care about "the RIGHT thing to do" and everyone has done and said nothing short of that. I have, would, and will, recommend them to anyone that has had a workplace injury and needs help navigating their way through the L&I process because L&I says they're there for you, but they really aren't. Palace Law really is and win or lose, they really do the footwork necessary to get you what's due. Thanks again for all your continuing help!!

Took my L&I case and immediately went to work. Got my denial appealed and I expect to get this case resolved soon. Stef is great and keeps me informed every step of the way. I’ve worked 48 years without any claims. I file ONE and L&I immediately denies me. L&I suks, thank God for Palace Law!
