Spinal Cord 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.

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.
