Review the Details of Your Burn Injury With Our Hicksville, NY Team
Burn injuries are often life-changing and life-threatening. You deserve to have your required medical care covered by the person whose negligence caused your injury. You also deserve time to focus on getting better. While you do, our Hicksville burn injury lawyers will focus on your case.
We start by listening to your story with compassion and understanding. We also prove the cause of your burns and their type and severity. According to Cleveland Clinic, types of burns include thermal, chemical, radiation, and electrical. Burns range in degree from first (minor), second (moderate), and third (severe).
Common causes of burns include accidental and intentional fires and contact with hot liquid, steam, and surfaces. Additional causes include exposure to electricity and chemicals, exposure to caustic substances, and catastrophic motor vehicle collisions.
Your Evidence File Will Steer Your Case Toward a Settlement Versus a Trial
Building an effective case and proving the at-fault party’s financial liability is a complex legal matter. When our legal team handles this for you, we build a solid case file by collecting the following evidence that supports your right to financial recovery:
- Accident reports
- Medical records
- Witness statements
- Photos and videos
- Accident reconstruction
The evidence we collect will prove these elements of negligence include:
- Duty of care
- Breach of duty
- Causation
- Damages
Once proven, the at-fault party’s negligence entitles you to seek compensation for your injuries and related expenses. We also compile your medical bills, salary history, and property repair or replacement estimates to document your expenses and losses.

Our burn injury attorney will clarify your family’s range of recoverable damages. We also ensure you understand which family members will benefit from a wrongful death action.
Your Right to Compensation Has a Mandatory Time Limit
The state determines the amount of time you have to file your lawsuit based on the outcome of your accident, the age of the injured party, and certain actions the at-fault party might take. The personal injury statute of limitations is defined in New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules § 214. Similarly, the wrongful death statute of limitations is defined in Estates, Powers & Trusts § 5-4.1.
Failure to file your lawsuit on time could result in the court dismissing your lawsuit altogether. When our law firm handles your case, we make sure it is filed on time. Other benefits of timely filing include giving our team plenty of time to investigate the accident and speak to witnesses. The sooner we hear from you, the better opportunity we have to build the strongest case possible for you.
