Upstate New York Burn Injury Lawyers

Financial Recovery for People Who Suffered Burn Injuries

Fire and Smoke Inhalation • Chemical Burns • Electrical Burns

Few people who have not suffered a serious burn injury can understand how costly it can be and how lives are changed. The trauma that burn injury victims suffer, and the stress it causes for their families, is tremendous. If your family has been affected by a burn injury from a fire or explosion, a chemical burn to skin or lungs, or an electrical burn, you will be working through the phases of recovery for some time to come.

When you are facing so much uncertainty, it can bring great peace of mind to talk with an attorney about whether you can get financial compensation and how your claim will be handled. You have enough other details to handle. Your lawyer can take some of the burden off your shoulders so that you can focus on physical recovery and supporting your loved ones.

If you were injured because of the negligence of another — a reckless driver, a negligent property owner, a careless worker on the construction site, a product manufacturer who sold a defective product — you may be able to get compensation for your injuries.

The True Costs of a Burn Injury

Few injuries require as much intensive, long-term hospital care as a burn injury. Patients may spend months in the hospital burn ward undergoing treatment. During that time, they will typically:

• Have numerous surgeries to repair skin and tissue and otherwise deal with the problems caused by scarring and disfigurement
• Endure repeated bouts of infection and sometimes the loss of a limb
• Work extensively with physical and occupational therapists to recover strength and range of motion
• Require reconstructive surgery, especially for facial burns
• Work with mental health professionals to deal with the trauma of the accident and feelings of loss of self-worth

These services are essential to helping the burn injury victim cope with his/her injuries and achieve the best outcome and maximum recovery. These services are also expensive. A financial recovery from the responsible party may be essential to ensuring that you and your family can afford the treatment that is needed.
