How Long Does It Take to Recover From a Burn Injury?
The recovery time after a burn injury can vary significantly depending on the severity and depth of your burn, the area of your body affected, and your overall health. Superficial burns, such as first-degree burns, typically heal within a week with minimal intervention, primarily relying on topical treatments and proper wound care. Second-degree burns, which are more severe, may require several weeks to months to heal completely, often involving detailed wound care, antibiotics, and sometimes skin grafts to facilitate recovery.
Third-degree and fourth-degree burns can take months or even years to recover from, depending on the extent of the injury and required surgical interventions. Rehabilitation during this period is crucial, consisting of physical therapy to maintain mobility and minimize scarring, as well as psychological support to address emotional trauma. The healing process is often a long-term journey, necessitating comprehensive treatment plans tailored to your specific needs.

Burn Injury Cases We Handle
If you’ve suffered burn injuries in an accident that wasn’t your fault, we want to hear from you. We are familiar with how insurance companies handle these cases, the applicable New Mexico laws, and how to effectively pursue litigation to secure damages. Our legal professionals are also familiar with the medical and psychological issues that come hand in hand with serious burn injuries, and we leverage that knowledge to maximize what our clients recover.
Reach out to Kemmy Law Firm, P.C. if you suffered severe burn injuries in:
- An auto accident. The force of a collision with a car, truck, or motorcycle can break open gas lines or the gas tank and spark and ignite a fire. If the other driver caused the accident, they are likely liable for your losses.
- A workplace accident. Serious burns caused by workplace accidents might be covered by workers’ compensation. If a third party (like a contractor or building owner) acted negligently, we may be able to help you file a separate burn injury lawsuit against the responsible party.
Statute of Limitations to File a Burn Injury Claim in New Mexico
Generally, the statute of limitations gives you three years to file a personal injury lawsuit under New Mexico law. You should contact us well before that deadline so we can protect your rights and start our investigation. You do not want to risk a scenario where important evidence is lost or a key witness is no longer able to remember what happened.
Compensation for Burn Injuries
You shouldn’t have to worry about how you will cover the costs of a burn injury that wasn’t your fault. The total costs of medical treatment alone could be hundreds of thousands of dollars, perhaps over a million, depending on the circumstances. Our experience in litigating serious injury cases and dealing with insurance companies, along with our desire to deliver optimal outcomes, can mean the difference between a disappointing end and an outcome that lays the financial foundation for the rest of your life.
Our Hobbs burn injury lawyers can fight to get you compensation for your:
- Out-of-pocket expenses
- Past and future medical bills
- Lost wages and employment benefits
- Past and future pain and suffering
- Past and future mental anguish
- Disfigurement

Mr. Kemmy comes from good stock and was referred to us by one of the best. And if he's good enough for him to lay his reputation on the line, he's good enough for me.
