Burn injury cases begin with identifying the source of the accident—whether fire, chemical exposure, or electrical malfunction—and proving negligence. Elizabeth A. Citrin conducts a detailed investigation, working with fire experts, medical professionals, and safety specialists to connect the cause of the injury to the responsible party.
