Spinal Cord Injuries
According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, more than 17,700 Americans sustain injury to the spinal cord every year—and approximately 291,000 people in the U.S. are currently living with the long-term effects of a spinal cord injury. Even more devastating than these numbers is the fact that most of those who suffer were injured through no fault of their own. Oftentimes, these injuries are sustained on the job, in a car collision, after a fall, or while playing sports; and when they happen, victims’ lives are changed forever.
Legal and medical experts alike agree that the catastrophic nature of spinal cord injuries requires long-term, life care planning to account for the lifetime of medical and rehabilitative needs that will follow. Whether your injury is complete or partial, symptoms such as loss of movement, loss of bladder/bowel control, altered sensations, or total paralysis will need immediate and ongoing attention. This can be costly, time-consuming, and both physically and mentally exhausting.
To account for the costs of a spinal cord injury (both financially and emotionally), you can file a lawsuit for damages, including but not limited to:
- Medical bills and rehabilitative costs: From hospital bills to prescription drugs to ongoing physical rehabilitation, you can be compensated for the medical expenses of a spinal cord injury.
- Current and future lost wages: You can be compensated for any time spent away from work, whether during the initial recovery period or due to the fact that you can no longer perform the same job duties, thus reducing your earning capacity.
- Pain and suffering: The long-lasting physical and emotional pain of a spinal cord injury can result in emotional distress that can be compensated as monetary damages.
Burn Injuries
According to data from the American Burn Association (ABA), 486,000 burn injuries were medically treated in 2016.
Burn injury cases may include instances of fires, chemical burns, or electrical burns. Injuries can range in severity from first-degree burns (which present symptoms such as red, inflamed skin) to fourth-degree burns that damage each layer of skin and can reach the tissue and bones underneath. A burn injury victim may sustain permanent damage to the skin which can include scars and the loss of feeling in the area due to nerve damage.
The victims of catastrophic burn injuries may be entitled to compensation for damages including medical bills, lost wages, and transportation expenses. Non-economic damages may include pain and suffering and emotional distress. Our legal team represents burn injury victims in the pursuit of compensation for both financial and non-economic damages.
Because burns can result from many different incidents (such as car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, construction site accidents, or defective and dangerous products), the legal processes involved in filing a claim can vary greatly between cases. There are a lot of parties who could be liable in a burn injury case — a driver, employer, or product manufacturer are just some examples. Additionally, burn injury claims could be subject to different statutes of limitations depending on the type of case that is involved.
There are so many factors involved, which is why it is essential that you work with a knowledgeable and devoted attorney. Jason P. Sultzer and the rest of the team handle a wide range of injury cases and are devoted to pursuing a successful outcome for clients.
What Is My Case Worth?
Every case is different, but there some factors that will influence the potential value of your claim. This may include the severity of your injuries, the cost of medical care, whether you require ongoing treatment, and what psychological impact your injuries have had – and will have – on your life.
In New York, a personal injury settlement or award may include money for:
- Medical expenses, medication, medical supplies, & ongoing medical care
- Assistive devices, home modifications, and prosthetics
- Loss of wages, benefits, and future/potential earnings
- Emotional trauma, such as pain and suffering
- In rare cases of extreme negligence or intentional wrongdoing, punitive damages may also be awarded
