How a Lawyer Can Help with Your Back or Spinal Cord Injury Case

NEW YORK BACK INJURY LAWYERS

After our initial consultation with you, we will get to work compiling all the evidence necessary to build a strong case. You can count on our skilled legal team to:

  • Immediately launch an investigation into the construction accident that led to your injury. Our goal is to determine the cause of the accident and who should be held responsible. Depending on the circumstances in your case, the liable party may be the property owner or manager, a contractor or subcontractor on the job, the manufacturer of defective equipment, or a driver or auto insurance company.
  • Enlist our vast team of experts to consult on your claim. Evidence and expert testimony will likely be crucial to proving your claim for compensation. We may turn to a professional to reconstruct the accident scene, a medical expert to determine the extent of your injuries, or financial specialists to estimate the toll this injury will take on you overall.
  • Protect you from contentious communications with the liable party. You should not be hounded by insurance adjusters when you’re trying to cope with such a severe injury. Our attorneys will manage all the details of your case, including negotiating aggressively for the compensation you deserve.
  • Prepare for trial even during settlement negotiations. Many cases will end up with a full and fair settlement offer, but our litigators will be prepared to see your case through to a verdict if the at-fault party tries to shortchange you.

Compensation in Back and Spinal Cord Injury Cases

Insurance companies know how expensive it can be to treat a back injury in the long run, and they may approach you immediately with a settlement offer. They want you to sign away your rights before you know how this injury will really affect you. Do not sign anything from the insurance company without talking to an experienced lawyer.

At Belluck & Fox, we have extensive experience dealing with insurance companies’ aggressive tactics. And we take pride in thoroughly documenting your claim so we can demand the maximum compensation you deserve. Depending on the details in your case, we may pursue:

  • Payment for past and future medical bills
  • Payment for lost wages, including diminished earning capacity in the future
  • Awards for the pain and suffering you have been through
  • Punitive damages, which can be used to punish the at-fault party for extreme misconduct

Your employer may tell you to simply file a workers’ compensation claim, but you may be entitled to much more.

Common Causes of Back and Spinal Cord Injuries

BACK AND SPINAL CORD INJURY

Back and spinal cord injuries can be the result of a number of different types of construction accidents. However, the Mayo Clinic reports that the top two causes of back and spinal cord injuries are auto accidents and falling objects, both of which are common risks on construction sites.

If someone else’s careless, negligent, or dangerous actions led to your injury, you need to speak with an experienced attorney about your legal options for pursuing compensation.  Schedule a free consultation today with our New York back injury lawyers to discuss how we can help.

Back and Spinal Cord Injury Treatments

The severity of a back injury dictates the complexity, length, and effectiveness of treatment, which can include painful and difficult physical and occupational therapy as well as vocational rehabilitation. Partial or full paralysis is possible.

Common treatments for back injuries include:

  • Surgery (which could be repeated in the years to come)
  • Braces or casts
  • Occupational and physical therapy
  • Pain medication and steroid injections
  • Chiropractor visits

Recovery, both the degree and the time it takes, is unique to each person. Even people with back injuries that don’t involve spinal cord damage can face a long and arduous recovery. These back injuries include tears, sprains, and strains of muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

Whether you are suffering from a spinal cord injury or other back injury, you can expect to face large and ongoing medical bills.
