Thermal burns caused by hot water or steam are known as scalding burns. Scalds can be extremely painful, slow to heal, cause permanent disfigurement and can happen more quickly and easily than you might expect.
If you or a loved one suffered a serious scalding burn from contact with hot water or steam, the NYC personal injury attorneys at Rosenberg, Minc, Falkoff & Wolff, LLP can help you pursue the compensation you deserve. We have operated in New York City since 1922, and we have experience with such cases.
Scalding injuries are caused by hot liquid, including hot beverages and food. The risk of an accident can be created by various forms of careless or negligent behavior.
