If you or a loved one has recently experienced a spinal injury due to an accident or incident that was caused even partially by another party, the Brooklyn spinal injury lawyers at Dansker & Aspromonte Associates can help you fight for the financial compensation you deserve.
A spine injury can involve many different types of injury and levels of seriousness. One particularly devastating spine injury occurs when there is damage to either the spinal cord which sends nerve signals throughout the body or spinal vertebrae which provides stability to the body and protects the spinal cord. These injuries can create debilitating and chronic pain, paralysis or a decreased ability to perform everyday activities such as walking or bending. Other types of commonly diagnosed spine injuries can involve damage to the soft tissues between the bones of the spine referred to spinal disc herniations or bulges. The symptoms of a spinal injury may become apparent immediately after an accident but can also occur days or even weeks later.
According to the Shepherd Center, nearly 17,500 Americans experience a spinal cord injury each year, which amounts to 48 new spinal injuries each day in the U.S. When faced with a spinal injury, you or your loved one may experience a wide variety of debilitating injuries that can cause severe pain, an inability to work and require extensive medical treatment. In fact, The National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC) found that 30% of Americans that suffer from spinal cord injuries required repeated hospitalizations following their injury.
