New York Structure Fires
Sustaining a serious burn is a physically and mentally scarring incident. Most people have experienced minor burns due to cooking or other common activities, however, burns from residential fires often affect large portions of the body, and are incredibly painful. Burns of this nature can lead to skin loss, serious infections, and more, creating the potential for other severe medical conditions.
Burns can result in disfiguring scars that require surgical intervention. Injuries of this nature can make everyday activities painful and difficult to endure. Additionally, severe burns can take years to fully heal, and, in some cases, the victim never fully recovers. Burn victims often have to spend a lot of time in burn wards in the hospital where they must endure several surgeries and other treatments to return their skin to as close to normal as possible. Oftentimes, victims also require psychiatric care to deal with the trauma of the burn experience and the difficulty associated with living with disfiguring scars.
If your burn injuries were caused by another individual’s reckless, careless, or malicious activity, you may be entitled to pursue financial compensation for your financial, physical, and emotional damages.
