Our Law Firm Will Document the Severity of Your Burn Injury
According to Mayo Clinic research, burns range in severity from first-degree (minor burns that cause pain and redness) to third-degree (burns that reach the fat layer beneath the skin and destroy nerves). Common causes of burn injuries include:
- Fire
- Steam
- Radiation
- Chemicals
- Explosions
- Ultraviolet lights
- Electrical currents
- Motor vehicle accidents
Depending on the cause of your injuries, you might need to prove they meet New York’s serious injury threshold which will enable you to seek third-party compensation beyond the limits of personal injury protection (PIP) coverage. Our Long Island personal injury lawyer will obtain evidence that ensures your injuries are accurately defined.
Liability and Negligence Open the Window to Financial Recovery
The state requires proof of the at-fault party’s negligence before you are allowed to pursue compensation. The evidence we compile for you will prove the following elements of negligence:
- Medical records that document the cause of your burn injuries and their severity
- Accident reports that establish the cause of the accident and any factors that contributed to it
- Accident scene photos and lay and expert witness statements that support your version of events
We collect evidence that proves the value of your case, including salary history records, medical bills, and property repair or replacement costs. We also obtain your written prognosis that describes your anticipated treatment plan and timeline. The accumulated evidence will prove the at-fault party owed you a duty of care, failed to provide it, and caused your accident and resulting financial consequences.
