The Costs of Treating and Recovering From a Burn Injury
The treatment you require for injuries will vary greatly depending on the degree of your burn injury. According to Mayo Clinic, burn injuries range from first-degree minor injuries to third-degree at their most severe. Treatment and recovery could include:
- Emergency treatment
- Hospitalization
- Rehabilitation
- Various therapies
- Surgical procedures
- Skin grafts and cosmetic care
- Lifestyle and home adjustments
- Coping and support
Our Baldwin burn injury attorneys will obtain records and bills from every medical facility and professional where you received treatment. Our goal is to ensure you do not experience financial hardship due to another person’s or entity’s negligence.
How We Prove the Negligence That Led to Your Burn Injury
The evidence file we build for you will contain extensive medical information to prove the cause and cost of your recovery. We also compile evidence that proves the following required elements of negligence:
- Duty of care: The at-fault party’s responsibility to provide you with reasonable care
- Breach of duty: The at-fault party’s failure to meet the required duty of care
- Causation: Proof that the accident would not have occurred without their negligence
- Damages: Proof of the financial consequences of the accident and resulting injury
We prove these elements with evidence that includes accident and incident reports, medical records, photos, video footage, and expert witness statements. We also collect evidence that documents the accident’s costs. This will include medical bills, employment records, and property repair or replacement estimates.

Act Quickly to Avoid a Potential Risk to Your Burn Injury Case
The state of New York places a time limit on all civil lawsuits. New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules § 214 describes the personal injury statute of limitations. Estates, Powers & Trusts § 5-4.1 describes the wrongful death statute of limitations. Failure to meet either filing deadline will mean:
- The court will bar you from filing your lawsuit at all.
- Your lawsuit will be dismissed without being heard.
- You will lose the legal ability to compel compensation.
Our law firm will not let this happen. With sufficient notice from you, we will file your lawsuit within the allotted time. Early intervention also means we have time to interview witnesses while their memories are vivid and build the strongest case possible on your behalf.
