What a Queens Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer Does for Your Case

Our attorneys have decades of experience fighting for victims in personal injury claims. Since 1988, we have handled thousands of cases involving neck and back injuries. 

When you partner with our law firm, our skilled attorneys will:

• Collect evidence: Your personal injury lawyer will gather witness statements, medical records, expert testimonials, and accident reports to build your case.
• Establish causation: Legal experts will prove how the at-fault party’s negligence caused the accident and contributed to your losses.
• Pursue damages: A spinal cord injury attorney will demand that you receive compensation for all physical, emotional, and financial damages you and your family have incurred since the accident.

If you do not hire legal representation, representatives of the at-fault party may take advantage of your situation. They may offer you less compensation or blame the spine injury on pre-existing conditions. An experienced legal professional can step in, present strong evidence, and demand justice for your injuries.

Understanding What Causes Spine Injuries

A spinal cord injury can result from a wide variety of circumstances. 

Our lawyers have helped clients suffering from spine damage due to:

• Motor vehicle accidents (including car, truck, and motorcycle collisions)
• Workplace incidents and construction site accidents
• Slip and falls
• Nursing home neglect and abuse
• Physical assaults
• Medical malpractice

A spinal cord injury can range from a pinched nerve to complete paralysis. The two types of spinal cord injuries are:

• Complete spinal cord injuries: This is permanent damage to the spinal cord, causing loss of motion and sensations. Complete spinal cord injuries include paraplegia and tetraplegia.
• Incomplete spinal cord injuries: Partial damage to the spinal cord prevents certain extremities or areas of the body from functioning. The extent of incomplete spinal damage depends on the patient’s medical history and overall health.

Regardless of the severity of your spinal cord damage, if you are injured due to the fault of another, you may be entitled to collect compensation from the at-fault party. The lawyers at Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP can help you file a spinal injury claim and recover the settlement you deserve.

The Effects of Spinal Cord Injuries

No two spinal cord injuries are the same. Even mild damage to the spine can have a significant impact on your ability to function, resulting in physical and emotional harm. 

In addition, spinal cord injury victims can suffer a wide variety of health issues following their incident, including:

• Chronic pain in the neck, back, and shoulders
• Paralysis
• Loss of smell, taste, and other senses
• Muscle spasms
• Breathing difficulties
• Numbness
• Digestive issues
• Incontinence
• Organ damage
• Vision or hearing loss
• Nerve damage

By bringing a claim against the negligent party, you can recover compensation for the losses your spinal cord injury caused.

The Cost of Recovering from Spinal Cord Damage

In cases involving spinal cord injuries, victims often require expensive and ongoing medical procedures and treatments. Spinal cord injury figures show that the lifetime costs can exceed $1 million, depending on the victim’s age.

Medical expenses can increase due to the need for adaptive equipment, emergency care, doctor visits, surgeries, and rehabilitative therapies. The ongoing medical needs take a significant financial toll on an individual and their family. In addition, the injury can prevent you from going to work. The combination of high medical bills and lost wages can be catastrophic.

If you or a loved one have severe injuries to the spine due to the fault of another, you have the right to bring a claim for every incurred loss. Our Queens spinal cord injury lawyers use our decades of experience and dedication to ensure the best financial recovery for you.

Our Queens Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers Can Help You Get Compensation

You cannot determine the full value of your spinal cord claim until an experienced lawyer has thoroughly analyzed your accident and injury evidence. If the evidence supports that your injuries were entirely or partially due to another party, then you may be able to collect substantial compensation for your losses.

Our attorneys may be able to help you get compensation for:

• Pain and suffering
• Future pain and suffering, if your injuries are shown to be permanent
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Medical expenses (past and future)
• Loss of earnings and diminished income potential
• Loss of pension and employment benefits
• Costs associated with making your home accessible
• Loss of services to the household
• Other out-of-pocket expenses you've incurred

In the event of a fatal spinal cord injury, you may pursue compensation for the deceased. Our lawyers can help you recover compensation for funeral costs, loss of consortium, loss of guidance and support, and medical expenses leading up to the wrongful death.

Our Process for Building Your Spinal Cord Injury Case

Determining who is at fault for a spinal cord injury requires a thorough investigation of the facts and circumstances surrounding your accident. The quality of the investigation can make the difference between a weak case and a strong one. 

We immediately get to work by gathering and securing all available police, incident, and medical reports. Then, we interview witnesses, secure photograph and video footage of your accident, and consult with accident reconstruction experts.

As experienced spinal cord injury lawyers in Queens, we assess every aspect of your case — that means evaluating not only your immediate or obvious injuries but also looking into the future. We consult with spinal cord experts to determine your lifetime needs. Once we conclude the assessment, we can calculate a fair settlement amount for your damages.
