Burn Injury Attorney in Manhattan

Burn injuries can occur in various situations and environments. The most common include:

• Accidental fires at home or work.
• Electrical malfunctions or faulty wiring.
• Exposure to hazardous chemicals.
• Hot liquids or steam
• Vehicle accidents involving fire or explosions.
• Industrial accidents in workplaces.
• Defective products that lead to burns.

If you’ve suffered a burn injury because of someone else’s negligence, you’ll need to establish that:

• they had a duty to prevent the injury;
• they acted negligently by breaching this duty;
• you suffered burn injuries as a result of their actions or inactions (negligence); and
• you incurred damages due to the injuries you sustained.

At Morgan and Morgan, our skilled attorneys have access to powerful resources to meticulously gather and present all necessary information to strengthen your claim.  

Even if you’re being blamed for your injuries, you should still get a free case review from our experts. Keep in mind that the other party may try to shift responsibility to avoid liability, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have a valid case. Our attorneys at Morgan and Morgan can thoroughly investigate the circumstances and work to prove the other party’s negligence.

With that said, even if you were partly responsible for the injuries, you may still be able to recover compensation under certain circumstances. For example, you may qualify for workers’ compensation, which kicks in even if you were at fault as long as you were not extremely reckless.

Our law firm receives more than 5,000 calls a day from people in need of our guidance and possible representation. You, too, deserve to be heard. Contact us today for a free case evaluation.
