Commonly Reported Causes of Life-Changing Burn Injuries
According to Cleveland Clinic research, nearly 500,000 individuals are treated in emergency rooms for accidental burns on an annual basis. These burns range from first to third-degree, depending on their extent. The severity of your injury will determine the length and cost of your prescribed treatment plan.
Cleveland Clinic research also cites the following causes of burn injuries:
- Fires
- Hot liquids
- Hot steam
- Contact with hot surfaces
- Chemical exposure
- Harmful Electricity.
Car, truck, bus, and motorcycle accidents can also cause dangerous burns. If one of these factors was the cause of your burns and was the result of negligence, our Westbury burn injury attorneys will seek compensation from the at-fault party. We will investigate your accident, identify the at-fault party, and fight hard for the compensation you are entitled to recover.
Our Burn Injury Attorney Will Document Your Right to Financial Compensation
The majority of cases like yours are resolved without going to court. This typically happens when the evidence clearly indicates the at-fault party’s negligence. Your case file will include the following:
- Accident report
- Incident report
- Medical records
- Proof of income
- Injury photos
- Accident scene photos
- Witness statements
- Expert statements
The evidence we collect to substantiate your case will steer it toward a settlement versus a lengthy trial. Our investigation will prove the following legally required elements of negligence:
- Duty of care
- Breach of duty
- Causation
- Damages
Our client-focused team will ensure your case gets the attention to detail it needs and deserves. While we concentrate on building the best possible case for you, you can concentrate on your physical and emotional recovery or on assisting a loved one through their recovery.

By proving the at-fault party’s negligence, we also prove their financial liability — the legal responsibility to compensate you. When our burn injury lawyer determines the monetary value of your Westbury case, their assessment will include the following types of damages:
- Recoverable economic damages include past and future medical bills and lost wages, treatment-related travel expenses and assistive medical devices, physical and occupational therapy and rehabilitation, and property value or loss.
- Recoverable non-economic damages include lasting physical disability, physically disfiguring injuries, ongoing pain and suffering, mental anguish, emotional distress, and diminished quality of life.

What You Need to Know About New York’s Statute of Limitations
Recovering compensation after an accidental injury is only possible for a limited time. In New York State, the following filing deadlines will apply to your case depending on its outcome:
- New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules § 214, which determines the amount of time allotted to file your personal lawsuit
- Estates, Powers & Trusts § 5-4.1, which determines the amount of time allotted to file your family’s wrongful death lawsuit
Because you have a limited amount of time to file your lawsuit, you should act as soon as possible. Getting our law firm involved in your case sooner rather than later has additional benefits. It means we can interview witnesses early and canvass the accident scene for evidence.
