Types of Spinal Cord Injuries

The amount of compensation you can collect in a spinal cord injury lawsuit will depend on the type of spinal cord injury and how severely the damage affects your life. Our law office has helped clients suffering from:

When evaluating your case, a spinal cord injury lawyer will examine all of the ways your injury impacts your physical, financial and emotional wellbeing.

What Causes Spinal Cord Injuries in Brooklyn?

Spinal cord injuries are often a result of forceful trauma to the spinal vertebrae. These types of injuries can range from mild pain and limitation to complete paralysis. Many of the spine injury cases our Brooklyn law firm handles stem from motor vehicle collisions, slip and falls, medical errors, and construction accidents.

If you believe another person or entity is responsible for your spine damage, our attorneys can review your claim for free. From there, we will offer professional legal guidance and help you collect the compensation your injuries merit.

Motor Vehicle Collisions

According to the New York State Department of Health’s report on suspected spinal injuries, motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of spinal cord damage. They result in 2.1 million spinal cord injuries per year, accounting for 48% of all spine injuries in New York.

Motor vehicle collisions include car, truck, commercial vehicle, and motorcycle accidents. If you sustained a spine injury after an automotive crash, you may be able to seek compensation from:

  • The at-fault driver or their insurance provider
  • The commercial vehicle owner or employer
  • A defective vehicle manufacturer
  • The City of New York

Every case is unique.  Even if you think that one party may be responsible for your accident, a careful investigation of your accident may reveal other parties played a role in your injuries.  For this reason, it is advisable to speak to a qualified car accident lawyer to review your case. These legal experts help you determine the legal causes for your collision and hold the at-fault party or parties accountable.

Slip and Falls

Slip and fall accidents make up 21% of New York spinal cord injuries. They often occur due to the negligence of property owners, site managers, tenants and others. For example, many construction falls are a result of poor scaffolding or ladder equipment.

A serious slip and fall can damage your spinal cord, requiring extensive medical care and rehabilitation. A spinal cord injury lawyer can review your slip and fall case and help you collect a fair settlement from the negligent party or parties.

Medical Malpractice

Medical professionals and hospitals have a professional duty to provide reasonable care to their patients. Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare worker’s negligent behavior harms a patient. Unfortunately, these medical errors can cause irreversible spinal cord damage and paralysis.

Our spine injury lawyers hold the negligent doctor, specialist, or hospital accountable if you sustained spinal cord injuries due to a medical procedure.

Construction Accidents

Construction work zones are a particularly dangerous place.  Accidents involving construction workers account for a large source of spinal trauma and injuries when workers fall from heights, are struck by falling objects or get hit by construction vehicles or equipment.  

Property owners, General Contractors, and other parties have a duty under the law to ensure that safety precautions are in place to protect them.  Unfortunately, these precautions are sometimes overlooked and workers can pay the price for this negligence.
