HOT WATER SCALDING AND BURNS TO CHILDREN IN APARTMENTS IN NEW YORK AND THE BRONX CAN BE VERY SERIOUS

October 7, 2015 By Michael Hecht

Hecht & Hecht has recently completed two cases involving children who were badly burned by hot water in their apartment buildings in The Bronx while they were being bathed. Both children required surgery and suffered extensive scarring. Our attorneys, along with an expert that we retained, carefully examined the hot water systems at both buildings to determine why the water was so hot. We also conducted detailed depositions of the workers at the buildings. As a result of our careful investigation, we were able to determine and prove that the hot water systems at these Bronx apartment buildings were not properly maintained. We recovered millions of dollars for the children.

If this type of incident happened to someone in your family or someone that you know, please call us at 212-226-2400. We have extensive experience with these types of cases and may be able to help. You will speak to an attorney when you call.
