Helping Victims of Burn Injury Accidents
Of the many types of injuries in the workplace, the home and in car accident or tourist accidents, a burn injury is often the worst of all. A burn may be caused by heat; fuels, such as gasoline or kerosene; fire; electricity; live steam; or dangerous chemicals. Many sustain serious burns in a car crash due to airbag inflation or an engine fire. Depending on the seriousness of the burn, shock, infection or even death can occur.
Because these injuries are often serious, medical expenses and rehabilitation are often very costly, not to mention the loss of wages and pain and suffering.
If this has happened to you or a loved one, you have the right to pursue compensation through a settlement or lawsuit.

Investigating Your Claims
Smoke inhalation and burns merit serious attention. If we accept your case, we will begin a thorough investigation immediately, requesting police reports, police photographs, fire department reports, building department records, public violations records, ambulance records, emergency room, hospital and doctor records. Often, only an attorney can obtain the Fire Marshal's report, and that report is often crucial to a successful case because it may contain key conclusions about the cause of the fire. Where necessary, we also retain expert investigators and accident reconstruction experts to provide trial testimony and analyses on the cause of the fire.
Damages Due to Third Party Negligence
Many burn injuries occur in the workplace as a result of third-party negligence — a defective part in high-voltage equipment, improper maintenance or a careless contractor. An experienced Bronx burn injury lawyer - electrocution injury attorney at our firm can help you pursue compensation for your injuries. If your case involves a workers' compensation claim, we will be glad to refer you to a qualified workers' compensation attorney, while Oliveri & Schwartz, P.C. represents you in your third-party injury claim.
