With more than 30 years of experience representing plaintiffs who have sustained serious personal injuries or financial losses, the trial lawyers of BIREN/KATZMAN have successfully handled hundreds of cases, collecting more than $150 million for our clients. The following case is just one example:

BELLOWS V. GAFFERS & SATLER

Baby Whose Hands Were Burned On Wall Heater Settles For $2.85 Million

Chad Bellows, a 9 month old baby, sustained 1.5% burns to both of his palms, with blistering, after coming in contact with a wall heater in his family's apartment.

BIREN/KATZMAN established that the wall heater ran excessively hot because it's design was defective. The firm developed evidence that use of a heat shield, which competitor units incorporated into their design, would have reduced the surface temperatures and the possibility of burn injuries.

One year after the burns, C.B. required a surgical contracture release with skin grafting on one of his palms. He still had residual problems with his hands. The case settled for a pay out of $2,856,684 (present value of $562,500).
