New York City Premises Liability Attorney Releases Article about Burns from Uninsulated Water Pipes

NY, NY, April 21, 2015 (Newswire.com) - The Orlow Firm has published a new article on their website describing the dangers of uninsulated steam and water pipes in NYC housing.​

Uninsulated water pipes can potentially cause second- or third-degree burns in a matter of seconds. Pipes that are exposed to frequent, inadvertent contact with the body present the highest danger. These types of pipes are often found in bathrooms and bedrooms, where a child could easily brush against one.

In winter, when radiators and heating systems are working overtime, the hazard [of uninsulated pipes] becomes that much greater.

The new article outlines where to look for these dangerous pipes, as well as who is responsible for rectifying dangerous conditions if the individual lives in public housing in NYC.
