When it comes to seeking compensation for burn injuries in New York, several factors come into play. The specific details of your situation will determine who is responsible for covering your expenses and what types of compensation you can pursue. Here are some key considerations:
Expenses for Medical Treatment

This includes hobbies, recreational pursuits, and other aspects of your life that have been adversely affected by the burn injuries.
Loss of Consortium
If your marriage or spousal relationship has suffered as a direct result of your burn injuries, you may be able to file a claim for loss of consortium. This compensation is designed to address the negative impact on your relationship, including the loss of companionship, affection, and intimacy.
Wrongful Death
In the tragic event that you have lost a loved one due to burn injuries, you have the right to file a claim for wrongful death. This claim seeks compensation for the financial and emotional losses resulting from the untimely death of your family member.
