Burns are among the most serious injuries that you can sustain in an accident at work. Unfortunately, burn injuries often happen because someone was careless in the workplace. When you suffer burn injuries in an accident at work, you should be eligible for workers’ compensation. In other cases, a negligent third party might be responsible for paying you compensation if you sustained burn injuries in a work accident.

Except in an emergency situation, your treating doctor must be approved by the workers’ compensation board in New York in most cases. The law has changed slightly so that workers’ compensation insurance carriers and self-insured employers can enter contracts with various service providers to offer medical treatment. In short, it’s important that you speak with your employer to make sure that the doctor who treats you is an authorized medical provider. This will help ensure that your medical expenses are covered. Our labor accident lawyers can help you understand the details.
While burn injuries vary in severity based on degree, all burn injuries can become serious if not treated. Even a minor burn injury can expose your body to harmful bacteria that can cause the burn to become infected. If you don’t have medical training, it can be difficult for you to immediately know how severe the burn is. A doctor can evaluate the burn injury and prescribe important treatment to prevent it from getting worse. Workers’ compensation should cover the cost of your medical treatment because your injuries were caused by a work accident.
