The Manhattan spinal cord injury lawyers at Frekhtman & Associates represent clients paralyzed or seriously hurt in Manhattan car crashes, construction falls, and other accidents caused by someone else’s negligence. A spinal cord injury damages the nerve tissue running through the spinal column, and can cause permanent paralysis, lifelong medical needs, and lost income. We investigate the accident, work with neurologists, life care planners, and vocational experts, and take these cases from first call through jury trial.
Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries
Various types of spinal trauma can lead to disc protrusions, severed spinal cord, disc injuries, vertebral injuries, and other types of spinal maladies.
The National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center reports about 18,500 new U.S. traumatic spinal cord injuries each year. Since 2015, about 78% have been in men, and the average age at injury is 44. About 310,000 Americans live with traumatic spinal cord injuries. Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries include car accidents, motorcycle crashes, pedestrian knockdown accidents, falls, and sports-related injuries.
Damage to the spinal cord can cause loss of sensation and movement, either partial or total. Injuries to the network of nerves that runs through the spinal column can lead to quadriplegia, paraplegia, and other life-altering conditions. Partial paralysis is known as paraparesis (lower extremities) or quadriparesis (all four extremities), and it is another serious type of spinal cord injury.
Damages recoverable after a spinal cord injury
While a spinal cord injury can occur due to various types of accidents, the important thing to remember when litigating this type of action is to build a damages case to prove the full extent of the spinal injury to the jury at trial. Damages recoverable after a spinal cord injury may include
- conscious pain & suffering
- lost wages
- value of past & future medical expenses including surgery, rehabilitation, therapy, medical devices, prescriptions, and other necessary medical disbursements
