BURN INJURIES
Safety precautions should be taken to minimize the risk of burn injuries on construction sites.
Every day, New York construction workers are at risk for burn injuries from gas lines, open flames, chemicals, and electricity found on work sites. Burn injuries are extremely painful and can have severe, long-term consequences. They often lead to permanent scarring or disfigurement and may require extensive medical care that puts a strain on families. With the wide range of heat-generating materials found at a construction site, it is important for workers to take steps necessary to prevent explosions and burn accidents from occurring. Burn injuries generally fall into one of three categories: first degree, second degree, or third degree. First degree burns are relatively minor, affecting only the outer layer of skin. Second degree burns are more intense, and third degree burns involve extensive damage to the skin and nerve endings.
If you have been affected by any kind of burn injury as a result of a New York construction accident, fill out a free consultation form from Block O'Toole & Murphy. Burn injury victims may be eligible to receive compensation for their pain and suffering, medical bills, and other damages.
