Firefighter Injured in a New York House Fire

A firefighter was injured while trying to put out a New York house fire early on Thursday, March 18.

The fire started at about 1:30 a.m. in the Bay Shore area of Islip on Long Island. The blaze was so massive that crews from four departments responded to the call.

One firefighter sustained unspecified injuries while he was battling the fire and was taken to the hospital for treatment. There are no details about how the firefighter was injured or the degree of the injuries.

The cause of the New York house fire is still investigated.

Burn injuries can be devastating and may take a long time to heal. And even after the healing, the person could still have health issues. They may be unable to earn and enjoy simple life activities.

Even though most people connect burn injuries with fires, they could easily occur after an explosion of chemicals, using electricity tools, vapors and hot water. 

If your injuries occurred because of someone else’s negligence, or as a result of your work, make sure to seek legal assistance as soon as possible.

The attorney will help you while you are recovering from your injuries. They will review your case, gather evidence, file a lawsuit, seek a compensation claim on your behalf, and negotiate for the settlement. Don’t go into this process on your own; the insurance company will work with lawyers and so should you. This way you can be sure that you’ll receive the right settlement that will cover your medical expenses, lost wages but also coverage for pain and suffering. Some people with severe burn injuries may even seek a loss of future earnings coverage.

Our Cellino Law New York personal injury lawyers are here to help you with your case. Schedule your first free case evaluation today.

Rear-End Accident

Nick Davis, my lawyer from Cellino Law, listens! Shortly after I was severely rear ended in a car accident I realized I’d need a lawyer and sent emails to a few top companies.

He and his paralegal Laurie Pecora were always available to answer my questions and explain the process. I am very happy with the outcome and highly recommend Cellino Law.”

“I can’t thank Cellino Law enough for everything they have done for me. When Denis Bastible took my case for a rear end car accident over 3 years ago I had no idea what this would turn into. I had to have 3 years of treatment on my back and eventually leading to a back surgery, which at 25 years old is a nightmare. Denis and his paralegal Marisa were nothing but a huge help to me the entire way through the lawsuit process. They were very reassuring that this would end well for me and extremely easy to contact throughout the entire process. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would.”
