Every year in New York City, thousands of people suffer burn injuries sustained in the workplace, while driving, or in household accidents. Burns of any degree can be extremely painful and, in some cases, they will require long periods of recovery and rehabilitation, accompanied by extended hospital stays, costly surgeries, and continuing medical treatment or disfigurement. When the burn injuries are the result of the negligent or reckless conduct of another party, you may be entitled to compensation for pain and suffering, medical bills, and loss of wages.
