Our law firm represented the family of a 69-year-old woman who was burned on 30 percent of her body when the hot water valve and handle in her shower broke. The scalding water knocked her to the ground. Our client was conscious for more than two days before she was placed in a medically induced coma. She died two months later. Our law firm sued the owner and manager of the apartment complex. Our efforts led to a $3 million settlement before trial.
In New York, there is a two-year statute of limitations on most wrongful death claims. Therefore, it is helpful to take action as soon as you are able.
