Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York

Re: burn vicitm

This is terrible! I hope your son will not bear any scars. I am a regular camper myself and I like to think I am very careful with fire. I would hate it if my carelessness hurt someone else like that. my last trip was in Canada.

The legal question is difficult to answer without more information. For example, if the firepit was on a hiking trail I do not believe that the owner/manager will be held liable. On the other hand, if this is a drive-in campsite the owner will be held liable.

Of course, the insurance company will likely pay you compensation under both circumstances. So my advice is to speak with a solid attorney with whom you feel comfortable and discuss with him the injuries and hurt that your son has suffered.

Money cannot make the hurt go away, but it does make it easier to live with. 2nd degree burns in many bodily places will not produce a scar. So being able to promise your son a trip to Disneyland or Cooperstown may give him something to look forward to and make the pain easier to bear.

You are welcome to a consultation at no fee at my offices at 42 west 44th st., NY,NY. Please call for an appointment first. (646) 591-5786

Re: burn vicitm

Sounds to me you may have a claim for injury on his behalf. I would need more information.

Re: burn vicitm

First, let me offer my hope for a good recovery for your son.

Next, it depends on how and why the incident occurred. It may be that supervision was careless or negligent...or perhaps it was a simple unfortunate accident. Based upon the limited nature of the facts as you recited them, I can only answer in very vague terms.

Feel free to call and discuss this with me at (212)764-5428.

Good Luck.

Re: burn vicitm

Your best recourse in taking care of payment of medical bills as well as getting the campsite

to protect other campers from getting Burned is to have your day in Court. By the way where did this occur, what state and what county.

If you like to discuss this matter further please call me directly for a free office consultation (718)651-5283.

Re: burn vicitm

I'm sorry to hear about your son. As I'm sure you know, 2nd and 3rd Degree burns are very serious injuries and may require long term care for his recovery. I would like to know more information about the accident and the supervision involved. I would be very interested in meeting you about this claim.

Please feel free to give me a call. I would like to set up an appointment for a free consultation. My number is 212 766-5268. This is a situation where if you do decide to sue it would be very helpful to have a lawyer who knows the law and the legal system. Whatever you decide, good luck to both you and your son.

Re: burn vicitm

I'm sorry to hear about your son. From the facts that you've given it sounds like there is a good chance that the accident was in fact the camp's fault.

In order to fully evaluate your son's claim I would need further information such as the set-up of the campsite, the number of people supervising the children, etc.

As with any case involving an infant (legally anyone below the age of 18) there are complex legal issues that normally require the help of an attorney.

If you would like a free consultation regarding a potential claim please call me toll-free at (888)997-2354.
