A lifetime of reconstruction.
Burn injuries — thermal, chemical, electrical, friction — require some of the longest and most expensive medical journeys in personal injury law. The damages case must capture the future cost as faithfully as the past pain. We do that work.
Building the future-care plan.
It's the case.
Severe burn cases hinge on the life-care plan: a detailed, expert-built projection of every reconstructive surgery, therapy, dressing, scar revision, and psychological intervention the survivor will need over a lifetime. Done correctly, the plan supports recoveries that match the injury.
The case starts
on day one.
Every burn injury matter is treated as a litigation file from the first call — because that's what wins it.

The life-care plan is the case.
We retain a certified life care planner, a vocational economist, and burn-surgery experts to project the full lifetime cost — and the lost capacity that the injury creates. The numbers are often staggering, and they're defensible.
Property, product, and utility policies.
Property CGL, product manufacturer policies, and (in utility cases) substantial self-insurance can all be in play.
What clients ask first.
Why does the case take so long?
Because the damages picture isn't fixed until we know the surgical and rehabilitative trajectory. We don't settle a serious burn case before the medical picture is clear.
How much does it cost to hire your firm?
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee — you owe us no attorney's fee unless we recover money for you. Costs are advanced by the firm and only reimbursed out of a recovery. The first conversation is free and confidential.
How long do I have to file a claim in New Jersey?
Most personal-injury claims in New Jersey carry a two-year statute of limitations under N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2, running from the date of injury. Claims against a public entity (city, county, NJ Transit, the State) require a Notice of Tort Claim within 90 days under the New Jersey Tort Claims Act. Wrongful-death actions also have a two-year window. Call as early as possible — evidence does not wait.
