Young Boy Burned Near Old Faithful

The six year old is from South Jordan, Utah. The boy, his parents, and two older siblings had entered the park earlier in the day, and set up camp at Madison Campground, and then traveled to the Old Faithful area.

The family had just watched an eruption of Grand Geyser around 6:00 p.m. The boy was playing and walking along on the wet boardwalk when he slipped and fell into hot water runoff from the nearby West Triplet Geyser, which had also recently erupted.

He was pulled out of the water after suffering burns to his arms and legs. A park ranger was nearby and summoned the Old Faithful Rangers who responded to the scene with an ambulance and paramedic support. The boy was taken to the Old Faithful Clinic and then later transported by ambulance to the West Yellowstone, Montana airport and flown by air ambulance to the Burn Center at the University of Utah Hospital in Salt Lake City.

"My name is Sara D. Fein, and I would like to share with Solomon Neuhardt’s potential clients why I choose Sol every time. To begin with, I come from a family of lawyers, so my experience with lawyers has all been family and exemplary and extremely positive. Sol represented me in 2002. Sol was the best thing that ever happened to me. He went way above and beyond what I would anticipate from an attorney. On March 17, 2009, I was in a devastating car accident. I called Sol from the scene and he has since diligently represented me, taking care of lost wages, medical bills and every worry that could possible come up. I have had several attorneys within a family law case and Sol is the most organized, efficient and active attorney of them all. If he says something is handled, it is. I refer to Sol as my good attorney. I am so grateful for him and everything he has ever helped me with. I owe him for life for the superb professionalism he and his excellent staff have graced me with. When it comes to my accident, Sol and his staff take care of every minute detail and they still are. I recommend Solomon Neuhardt to anyone with a personal injury case. Sol really listens, really cares and most importantly, always gets the job done."
