Did You Suffer A Severe Burn Injury In New York?

Severe burns are among the most painful and life-altering injuries you can experience. Beyond the initial trauma of the incident that caused the injury, victims typically find themselves facing ongoing medical treatment, rehabilitation and emotional recovery. Whether your burns were caused by a workplace accident, defective product or a preventable fire, you deserve justice and compensation for someone else’s negligence.

Common Causes Of Severe Burns Caused By Negligence

Severe burns can occur for a variety of reasons, often when basic safety measures are not adequately followed. Some of the most common causes include:

• Workplace Accidents: Construction zones, industrial sites and professional kitchens all present risks of thermal, chemical, and electrical burns. Employers who fail to provide adequate safety equipment or training can be held responsible.
• Car Crashes: High-speed collisions, semi-truck crashes and fuel line explosions can lead to catastrophic burns.
• Defective Products: Faulty appliances, electronics and heating devices can overheat and even ignite, causing serious injuries to those nearby.
• Structure Fires: Landlords and property owners who neglect fire codes, sprinkler systems or smoke alarms put tenants and visitors at extreme risk.
• Chemical Exposure: Contact with cleaners, acids or flammable substances can lead to deep tissue damage and scarring.

No matter the details of your unique situation, if someone else’s carelessness or misconduct played a role in your injury, Pigott Law Group will thoroughly investigate your case to ensure these actors are held accountable.

Is Your Case Eligible For Compensation?

To succeed with a burn injury case, negligence must be proven. You must show the court that another party failed to act with reasonable care and that this directly caused your injuries. In New York, victims may be awarded compensation for:

• Medical expenses (past, present, and future)
• Lost wages and/or reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress and disfigurement
• Rehabilitation and long-term expenses
• Home and vehicle modifications that are required to accommodate recovery

Our severe burns lawyers know the value of working with medical experts, accident investigators and financial specialists to build a strong case. Along the way, we take the time to understand all aspects of your recovery so we can help you secure the maximum compensation available to you.
