We understand the lasting impacts of a spinal cord injury
Suffering a spinal cord injury can change both the professional and personal aspects of your life and the life of your family. Not all spinal cord injury cases result in someone suffering paralysis and being in a wheelchair for the rest of their lives. However, any spinal cord damage can result in loss of motor skills, loss of sensation, total or partial paralysis and other damages that can be difficult to move on from. When the spinal cord injury is the result of an inattentive driver of a car or truck or a landlord who ignored danger on their premises, the negligent party should be held accountable.
For 40 years, Pazer, Epstein & Jaffe, P.C. has gained a reputation for the successful handling all types of personal injury and spine injury cases, including cases involving herniated discs, damage to the spinal cord or canal, injury to the vertebrae and other bony portions of the spine, damage to the nerve roots as they exit the spine causing radiating pain, numbness and tingling, and all other injuries to the neck and back involving the spine and the nerves and muscles involved.
In prosecuting your case we work closely with your doctors and other health care providers to fully understand your medical condition and appropriately document your injuries so as to best present them to a court and jury. Various diagnostic tests including MRIs, CT Scans, EMGs, and other tests performed by your doctors will help identify with precision the injuries you have suffered and our firm is experienced in using these tools to exhibit your case at trial, while countering the claims made by the insurance carrier defending the case.
Skilled Guidance for Paraplegics and Quadriplegics
Some car accidents and other accidents result in the most catastrophic of spinal cord damage — resulting in our clients becoming a paraplegic (suffering paralysis to lower extremities) or quadriplegic (suffering paralysis to both upper and lower extremities). Their ability to live the type of life they once enjoyed and work in their chosen profession can end in an instant. The physical pain and sense of loss felt by the injured person and their family members requires justice.
In addition, the future expenses related to home modifications, loss of primary income to the family, ongoing personal care and other ongoing expenses must be taken into account as well. Our personal injury lawyers use medical professionals and life care planners to demonstrate how the injury has impacted your life and how it will continue to impact you and your family for years to come so that we can recover the full amount of compensation you deserve and will require for your future.
