Experience treating burns
A perspective shaped in the burn unit.
One of Dr. Zaheer Shah’s formative experiences as a physician was working with a team caring for a patient with extensive burns. That experience gave him a close understanding of the challenges serious burn injuries can create.
As an attorney, Dr. Shah draws on his medical background to understand the nature of an injury and explain what it means for the person living with it. His focus is on helping clients pursue a claim that reflects their individual needs.
Understanding the injury
Different burns call for a careful medical understanding.
The cause, depth, and extent of a burn affect its consequences and treatment. A claim should reflect the actual injury and the needs identified by the treating medical team.
Thermal burns
Exposure to flames, hot surfaces, steam, or hot liquids can damage the skin and underlying tissue.
Chemical burns
Contact with harmful chemicals can cause tissue damage. Understanding the exposure is part of understanding the injury.
Electrical burns
Contact with electricity can cause burn injuries that require careful medical evaluation.

The longer-term impact
Looking beyond the initial treatment.
Serious burns may involve lasting scarring and a complex course of treatment. Each person’s recovery is different. We work to understand both the medical care involved and the changes the injury has brought to your life.
Your care needs
Medical records and your providers’ assessments help explain the treatment already received and the care that may still be needed.
Your everyday life
Pain, time away from work, and changes to daily activities are part of the story we help you communicate.
Discussing your claim
Making the medical story understandable.
When a burn injury results from someone else’s negligence, a legal claim may help address the resulting losses. Understanding who may be responsible and documenting the impact of the injury are essential parts of evaluating the case.
The Dr. Lawyer Law Group works to explain those medical and personal consequences during settlement negotiations or at trial. If you or a family member has suffered a burn injury, Dr. Shah would like to hear your story.
