How Our Arvada Burn Injury Lawyers Fight for the Full Cost of Your Recovery
Insurance adjusters evaluate burn injury claims against initial treatment costs. We evaluate them against the full trajectory of recovery, which for serious burns can span years and include multiple surgeries, long-term rehabilitation, and significant loss of earning capacity. The difference in those two numbers is what a properly built case is designed to capture.
What we do for Arvada burn clients:
- Retain independent fire origin investigators when the responsible party’s account of what happened does not match the physical evidence
- Work with life care planners to project the cost of future skin grafts, scar revisions, occupational therapy, and adaptive equipment before we negotiate
- Preserve evidence immediately, including surveillance footage, maintenance records, and fire investigation reports, before they are lost or altered
- Challenge insurers who apply comparative fault arguments to reduce your recovery based on your own actions
- Build a case structured for trial, because adjusters settle more seriously when litigation is a genuine possibility
Call us to discuss your Arvada burn injury case and what a full recovery realistically costs. The consultation is free, and you pay nothing until we win.
Why Arvada Burn Injury Claims Settle for Less Than They Should
According to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Colorado sees roughly 310 burn hospitalizations annually. What that statistic does not capture is how frequently the legal theories that support a full recovery are missed in early settlement negotiations. In Arvada specifically, several factors make undervaluation more likely.
Burn Injuries in Arvada’s Manufacturing and Industrial Sector
Jefferson County has an elevated burn exposure. Workers injured in these environments typically have workers’ compensation coverage through their employer, but that is often not the full picture:
- A separate civil negligence claim against a third party — such as a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or another employer on the worksite — may be available alongside workers’ compensation
- That third-party claim is not capped the same way workers’ compensation benefits are, and can include pain and suffering
- We evaluate every industrial burn case for both avenues from the beginning
Types of Burn Accidents We Handle in Arvada
In every case, our investigation focuses on who controlled the conditions that allowed the burn to happen and what they should have done differently. We regularly handle:
- Residential fires caused by landlord negligence, deferred maintenance, or electrical code violations
- Commercial and industrial fires, including storage facility and warehouse fires along the I-70 corridor
- Vehicle fires and fuel system ruptures following collisions
- Chemical burns from exposure to industrial solvents, cleaners, or improperly stored hazardous materials
- Wildfire injuries where a utility, landowner, or HOA contributed to the conditions or failed to meet mitigation requirements
- Scalds and thermal burns from defective appliances or kitchen equipment in restaurant settings
If your burn does not fit neatly into one of these categories, call us anyway. Many of the strongest cases we have taken involved injuries that did not look like straightforward claims at first. We evaluate every Arvada burn case individually and identify the legal theory that fits the facts.
Compensation You Can Pursue After a Burn Injury in Arvada
Serious burn injuries generate losses across several categories, and Boesen Law pursues all of them on behalf of Arvada clients. Colorado law allows recovery for:
- Medical expenses including emergency treatment, hospitalization, skin grafting, reconstructive surgery, and all future procedures your injuries will require
- Lost income and earning capacity when your burn injuries have ended or limited your ability to return to your profession
- Non-economic damages, including pain and suffering, disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life, subject to Colorado’s statutory limits, which we explain in plain terms during our first meeting
What a fair recovery looks like depends on the severity of your injuries, the liability picture, and the types of damages available under Colorado law. We discuss all of that in the initial consultation so you can make an informed decision about your case.

Frequently Asked Questions About Arvada Burn Injury Cases
How long do I have to file a burn injury lawsuit in Arvada?
Colorado’s general personal injury statute of limitations under C.R.S. § 13-80-102 gives most burn injury victims two years from the date of injury to file suit. Missing that deadline ends your legal options regardless of how serious your injuries are. Cases involving government entities, including Jefferson County properties, city contractors, or public utilities, carry shorter notice deadlines that can be as short as 180 days. Call us as soon as possible so we can confirm which limitations apply to your situation.
Can I recover compensation if I was partly at fault for my burn injury?
Yes. Under Colorado’s comparative fault rule at C.R.S. § 13-21-111, you can still recover as long as your share of fault is 50% or less. Your award is reduced proportionally by your percentage of responsibility. When insurers claim you bear significant fault for your own burn, we examine the facts, the property conditions, the actions of other parties, and the sequence of events to challenge that assignment.
What if my burn injury happened at a job in Arvada?
Workers’ compensation covers initial medical treatment and wage replacement for workplace burn injuries in Colorado. If a third party, such as a building owner, chemical supplier, or another employer on the worksite, contributed to the conditions that caused your burn, a separate personal injury claim against that party may be available alongside your workers’ comp benefits. We evaluate the full picture of every workplace burn case before advising you on what to pursue.
Does Boesen Law handle burn injuries from wildfires in the Arvada area?
Yes. Wildfire-related burn injury cases can involve utility companies, private landowners, HOAs, or contractors who failed to comply with fire mitigation standards. We review these cases individually to identify every potentially liable party.
How do I pay for burn injury treatment while my case is pending?
Your health insurance should cover immediate and ongoing treatment. If you do not have coverage, some medical providers work on a lien basis, treating you now and collecting from your settlement later. We help Arvada clients navigate these arrangements so that financial pressure does not force an early settlement before your medical picture is fully clear.
What does the claims process look like after a burn injury?
After we take your case, we secure all available evidence, including fire investigation reports, medical records, witness statements, and surveillance footage. We retain the independent experts your case requires. Once your treatment reaches a point where we can accurately project future costs, we make a formal demand. If the insurer does not offer fair compensation, we file suit. Most cases resolve before trial, but we prepare every Arvada case as if it will go to a jury, regardless of the type of burn injury involved.
How much is my Arvada burn injury case worth?
No attorney can responsibly give you a number without knowing the facts. The value of a burn injury claim depends on the severity and permanence of your injuries, the strength of the liability case, the coverage available from at-fault parties, and the full cost of your future care. What we can tell you in a free consultation is how we would approach your case and what factors will most influence its value.
