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, slipped discs, ruptured discs, or other neck or back injury.

In establishing your case, we will team with medical experts in reviewing the medical records related to your injuries and any documentation involving past injuries. An MRI provides us with objective and concrete proof of the injuries and what treatment you will require in the short-term and long-term. The opposing side will likely look for pre-existing conditions that could have played a factor in your spinal cord injury.

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.
