New York Chemical Injury Burn Lawyer
The average hospital cost of a burn injury can range anywhere from $50,000 to $200,000, depending on the severity of the injuries involved. Additionally, serious burn injuries often require skin grafts, reconstructive surgery, and a period of physical therapy. In the end, the financial impact of a burn injury can be quite substantial, not to mention the pain and suffering involved.
At the law office of The Orlow Firm, our attorneys work closely with medical economists and life care planners in determining the financial impact of a burn injury. We also work with medical experts and burn specialists who can offer a detailed prognosis for our client and the kinds of medical treatment and costs they face.

Property Owner Liability and Product Defects in Fire-Related Accidents
Retailers, hotels, or apartment managers are liable for burn injuries and deaths that occur due to locked fire exists or building code violations involved in a fire. Sprinkler systems that don't work, lack of smoke detectors, or an absence of clearly marked fire exits may create additional liability for property owners when it's clear these dangers were ignored. Similarly, manufacturers can be held liable when there's clear evidence that a smoke detector failed to work or a sprinkler system malfunctioned.
Working with fire investigators and other experts, our attorneys determine what caused a fire or explosion in order to hold those responsible accountable for our client's burn injuries.
