Burn Injuries

Northern New Jersey Burn Injury Lawyers

There are very few things that will make a catastrophic injury worse than it already is. One of these is ending up with a settlement or verdict amount that doesn't adequately provide for you or your family's needs.

We won't let that happen.

If you or someone you love has suffered a serious burn injury— contact The Law Offices of John S. Hoyt today for experience you can depend on and a free consultation.

At The Law Offices of John S. Hoyt, we represent people throughout New Jersey who have suffered a serious burn injury and help them to recover compensation for their losses from the person(s) or businesses responsible for them. The majority of these cases involve third-degree and/or serious second-degree burns that result from a wide range of causes, including:

  • Automobile gas tank ruptures
  • House fires started by faulty electronics or appliances
  • Hot water scalding burns
  • Skin-chemical contact burns
  • Defective workplace products or machinery

The physical effects of a burn injury may include respiratory problems, the possibility of life-threatening infections, and the need for painful skin grafts due to heavy scarring. But a serious skin burn injury can do more than just devastate a person physically—it can be psychologically devastating as well.

Our law office helps people to recover in more ways than one. In addition to handling the legal side of your case, we will help you get the medical care you need from places such as the St. Barnabas burn center, the Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation, and other top burn treatment units around the United States. We can also connect you with counselors who understand the psychological effects of these injuries and who can help you to deal with this challenging part of your recovery.
