Burn Injury Claims

New York Burn Injury Attorney

Severe burns are some of the most horrific injuries a victim can suffer. The injuries, the treatment and the aftermath can all involve severe pain. Burn survivors often suffer from PTSD and extreme emotional trauma. Scarring can be so severe as to be life-altering, limiting mobility and being so disfiguring as to cause a person to withdraw from society and loved ones. If you have suffered severe burns, please talk to our New York personal injury attorneys right away about your burn injury claim.

Types of Accidents that Cause Burn Injuries

When you have suffered severe burn injuries, you need the help of an attorney who not only understands burn injuries and their long-term consequences, but who has experience with the type of accident that caused your injury. Our New York burn injury attorneys help victims of many accident types including:

  • Motor vehicle accidents
  • Construction accidents
  • Premises liability
  • Defective products
  • Medical malpractice
  • Workplace injuries
  • Toxic exposure
  • Fires involving defective safety equipment such as smoke detectors or fire extinguishers
  • Fires involving inadequate fire escapes
  • Gas leaks
  • Nursing home neglect and abuse
  • Hazardous material truck accidents
  • Accidents caused by negligent supervision

When we think of severe burns we typically think of fires and similar accidents, but there are many types of burns and causes including:

  • Thermal burns due to contact with flames or hot surfaces
  • Scalding with steam, water or other hot liquids
  • Chemical burns
  • Frictions burns, including severe road rash

The Cost of Burn Injury

Burn injuries come with a hefty personal and financial price tag. Our New York burn injury attorneys are here to make sure that you get the full compensation you need to pay for your injuries now and in the years to come.

Burn injuries should be treated in a special burn center or burn unit whenever possible. Initial dangers include:

  • Skin grafts
  • Ongoing physical therapy to regain mobility and range of motion
  • Permanent physical impairment
  • Severe scarring
