Our East Meadow burn injury lawyer will identify and recover the compensation owed to you. In general, personal injury awards in New York include the following types of damages:
- Medical expenses, including emergency transportation and services, hospital stays, surgeries, skin grafts, prescription medications, specialized burn treatments, physical therapy, and long-term nursing care
