Do I Need Legal Representation for a Spinal Cord Injury?

After sustaining spinal cord damage due to another’s fault, retaining an experienced injury lawyer is your best chance of obtaining the compensation you deserve.

Attorneys focusing in spinal cord injuries can help you:

Understand your legal options
Prove how a negligent party caused your injuries
Collect evidence to build a strong case
Interview witnesses, medical professionals, and accident reconstruction experts
Evaluate the full value of your physical, emotional and economic damages
Negotiate a fair and reasonable settlement with the liable party or insurance company
Present your case at trial in court, if necessary

Without a legal professional in your corner, securing a fair settlement is much more difficult. Representatives of the at-fault party may offer you compensation for your injuries immediately after the accident. Avoid making any decisions about your claim before speaking to an experienced attorney.

Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries in New York

Spinal cord injuries can occur at any time, but they most commonly stem from accidents that cause trauma to the back and neck. The New York State Department of Health’s spinal cord injury research reports that 1,100 New Yorkers suffer traumatic spinal cord injuries yearly. And the majority of the injuries are due to preventable accidents, falls, and violence.

In New York, the top causes of preventable spinal cord damage are:

Car accidents
Truck and commercial vehicle collisions
Motorcycle crashes
Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
Slip and falls
Medical malpractice
Violent assaults
Sport injuries

If you sustained a spine injury due to another party’s negligence, you may be eligible to pursue compensation. A personal injury lawyer can help you file a claim and hold the at-fault party accountable for your losses.

Recovering from Your Spinal Cord Injury

The symptoms of a spinal cord injury include:

Loss of senses, such as being unable to feel hot or cold temperatures
Trouble breathing or persistent coughing
Loss of movement in specific body parts
Failure to control bladder
Muscle spasms
Chronic pain along the spinal cord

Recovering from a spinal cord injury is an uphill battle. Injuries can range from mild to severe, with the most devastating ones resulting in paralysis. Medical treatment can be extensive and can require multiple surgeries, extended hospital stays, and rehabilitative therapy.

Therefore, you deserve a personal injury settlement that covers all of your financial losses. By working with a New York spinal cord injury law firm, you will receive the compensation your accident merits.

Damages You Can Collect After a New York Spinal Cord Injury

The personal injury attorneys at Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP take their time valuing your case’s worth. When it comes to spinal cord injuries, we make sure your settlement covers current and future medical treatments, lost wages, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life.

The type of compensation you can receive in a spinal cord injury lawsuit include:

Pain and suffering for the past, present, and future
Medical bills
Ongoing care expenses
Medical equipment and home adaptation costs
Mental anguish
Disfigurement
Loss of enjoyment of life

Without a lawyer on your side, you risk accepting a settlement offer that is less than what you deserve. Insurance adjusters will attempt to convince you that your claim isn’t valid or minimize your injuries.

Can I Sue for a Fatal Spinal Cord Injury?

Spinal cord damages can be so severe that they result in death. If you lost a loved one due to catastrophic back and neck damage, you can bring a wrongful death lawsuit against the at-fault party.

When pursuing a wrongful death claim, immediate family members and dependents may be able to collect compensatory damages to recover from the loss of life.

These types of damages include:

Funeral and burial costs
Medical expenses leading to the death
Pain and suffering for your loved one prior to the death
Loss of consortium for the loved one’s spouse
Loss of parental support or guidance
Loss of income and benefits

Losing a loved one is traumatic, and navigating a wrongful death claim can be complex. But by partnering with a skilled wrongful death lawyer, you can hold negligent parties accountable for their actions and pursue justice for your family member.
