Paralyzed Due to an Accident in NY? We Can Help.

Individuals who become paralyzed as a result of a serious accident face a lifetime of physical and financial obstacles. In New York State, the initial cost of medical care for someone who has become paralyzed is extremely high. Subsequently, the long-term care and cost of assistive products adds to the financial strains of the injury.

Our experienced attorneys will push for a settlement through arbitration or mediation. However, if we cannot reach agreement through negotiation, we are prepared to seek compensation through a lawsuit and litigation. Our goal is to help you, the accident victim, as well as your family, make a full financial recovery.

Common Causes of Paralyzation Injuries

There are a variety of accidents that can cause paralyzation. We have represented clients who have suffered serious spinal cord injuries like paralysis and quadriplegia in a range of accidents, including:

  • Car accidents
  • Truck accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Construction accidents
  • Accidents caused by dangerous property conditions

If you have suffered a spinal cord injury in an accident, our law firm can also guide you through your ERISA disability claim. If you are applying for the first time or you have been denied and you wish to appeal the decision, we can explain the process and help walk you through it.

  • What is the difference between criminal procedure and civil procedure?
    When a crime has been committed, action is taken by a government agency against the person, persons, organization or other entity that violated the law. The first purpose of a criminal prosecution is punishment, which frequently consists of a fine or jail time. In a civil matter, the dispute is between two or more individuals or entities. The first purpose of a civil prosecution is obtaining compensation for the wronged person or entity. Settlement in a civil matter is generally an award of a money judgment. A criminal sentence is not imposed in a civil matter.
