Methodology

How this directory is compiled

Last updated: October 10, 2026

InjuryBurnLawyer.com is a compiled directory of attorneys who practice burn injury law in the United States. We are not an editorial publication. We don’t write commentary on legal cases, we don’t rank attorneys, and we don’t make legal recommendations.

How attorney listings are compiled

Listings reach the directory in three ways.

Launch listings (April 2026). We ran web searches for burn injury lawyers in ten large U.S. cities and visited each law firm website the searches returned. An automated tool read the firm’s name, phone number, email address, street address, attorney name, years in practice and practice areas from that website. Each of these listings is filed under the city whose search returned the firm. That is not always the city of the firm’s office, and many launch listings show no street address. Their descriptions were drafted with AI from those extracted facts. They are our summaries, not statements by the firm, and they have not been checked against any record.

Listings a firm adds itself. A firm can add its own listing through the sign-up flow. Those details come from the firm.

Listings found by our discovery process. We also search the web for burn, fire, explosion and electrical injury lawyers in U.S. cities of 100,000 people or more. A search is used only to find a firm’s own website; we skip directories, referral services, lead-generation sites, bar association sites and social media pages. Every fact in one of these listings comes from the firm's own website as it read when we checked it: the firm's name, the city and state of an office shown on that website, its phone number, the website itself, and which of these case types the homepage names: burn injury, fire injury, explosion injury and personal injury. We write no description for these listings. Each one is published as a short page with those facts, the domain and date we read them from and a link to the firm's website, and is listed on its city and state pages. A listing whose phone number's area code belongs to another state that does not border its office's state is kept hidden from search engines and from those pages until the mismatch is fixed.

In every case, we don’t copy text, ratings or reviews from search results or from other directories, and we don’t compile listings from state bar registry data or from court records. A firm that claims its listing can edit its photo, bio, phone, email, website and practice areas. To change its name or location, email us.

Listings are not verified

No listing on this site has been checked against a state bar record, and a listing says nothing about an attorney’s license or standing. You can check that yourself on the state bar registries linked below. We also don’t evaluate the quality of any listed attorney’s practice.

If a listing is wrong, tell us through the removal page. The listed firm can also claim its listing through the claim flow and update its photo, bio, contact details and practice areas. A firm signed in with an email address at its listing’s website domain, or with the account that manages the listing, can normally remove it right away. A person handles every other removal request, and also these: a listing that pays for Featured, a free mailbox address such as Gmail, a listing we have restored before, a request over our daily limits, or any request while automatic removal is paused.

What we don’t do

  • We don’t scrape or display third-party review data (Google, Yelp, Avvo, etc.).
  • We don’t provide legal advice or interpret state law for individual cases.
  • We don’t refer cases.
  • We don’t accept payment to recommend any specific attorney.

Primary sources used

Where we have a state’s attorney registry on file, the full listing pages in that state link to it, so you can check an attorney’s bar standing yourself. The short placeholder pages for unclaimed, incomplete listings do not. These are the registries we link to; listings in other states link to none yet. Listings are not compiled from these registries — see above:

Where we cite state law (statutes of limitations, damage caps, comparative-fault rules), each statement carries the statute’s citation and was reviewed against the statute’s text. Some state and city pages quote the statute word for word and link to the official state source; the rest summarize it in plain language. We are not your attorneys. For advice on your specific situation, consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.

Quality tier (A / B / C / D)

Every listing has a completeness score from 0 to 100. It is computed from the listing’s current data each time the listing is read, and we publish the inputs here so anyone can check how a listing was tiered:

  • +30 — Photo present. The listing has a photo or logo of the firm.
  • +20 — Substantive description. The listing carries a description of at least 900 characters (about 150 words).

Tier thresholds: A is 80 or higher, B is 60–79, C is 40–59 and D is under 40. Tiers A and B need an independent check of the listing that we do not perform, so no listing is in them: a listing with both a photo and a description is tier C, and anything less is tier D. An unclaimed listing, whatever its tier, is published as a short page with its phone number and website (plus, for a listing our discovery process found, the case types its homepage names) when it has a city, a phone number or website, and the page its facts came from. A listing our discovery process found also needs a phone number whose area code does not belong to another state that does not border it. Otherwise it is shown as a short page that invites the firm to claim it, and it is kept out of search engines.

Featured payment, paid advertising, and referral relationships are never weighted into the score. Ordering is a separate step. Paid Featured listings are labelled and appear first. Listings their firms have claimed come next, then unclaimed listings; within each group, listings are ordered by profile completeness, with ties in a fixed shuffled order. Claiming a listing is free. The attorney grids on the homepage and on hub pages follow the same order.

Who approves claims and new listings

There is no editorial review of listings. Specifically:

  • A claim is approved automatically when the person signs in with the email address on the listing, or with an address on the firm’s website domain. Other claim requests are approved or declined by a person.
  • A firm’s request to add itself is approved automatically when it passes automated checks: a confirmed email address on the firm’s own website domain, a website that names the firm and reads like a law practice, a domain at least 180 days old, a city we recognize, and no duplicate listing. Otherwise a person reviews it.
  • Nobody checks a state bar record in any of these steps.
  • A removal request from someone signed in with an email address at the listing’s website domain, or from the account that manages the listing, normally removes it right away. A person handles every other removal request, including a listing that pays for Featured, a free mailbox address, a listing we have restored before, a request over our daily limits, and any request while automatic removal is paused.

Attorneys may opt to upgrade their compiled listing to Featured placement ($199/mo). Featured placement increases the visual prominence of a listing on city and state pages. Featured placement does not change the underlying compiled information about that attorney, does not constitute any endorsement or recommendation, and is clearly visually labeled.
