Bronx Smoke Inhalation Death Claims Lawyer
We represent clients in Brooklyn and the Bronx injured in house, building, workplace and apartment fires. Smoke inhalation may cause serious injury in a number of ways, including:
- Thermal damage
- Asphyxiation, including brain damage
- Pulmonary irritation
The simple act of combustion releases large quantities of carbon monoxide, which deprives tissue of oxygen. The materials that burn may release serious toxins into the air, such as formaldehyde, ammonia and sulfur dioxide.
If we accept your case, our investigators will sift through the evidence thoroughly, including the fire marshal's report and the history of code and fire violations on the property. If we can prove negligence, we will pursue maximum compensation on your behalf, including medical expenses, lost work time, and pain and suffering.
