Paralysis

Quadriplegia - Paraplegia

Spinal cord injuries are generally life altering. Depending where on the spinal cord the injury occurred and whether the cord was cut or crushed, the victim can face a lifetime of quadriplegia or paraplegia. At the New York law firm Shandell, Blitz, Blitz, & Ashley, our lawyers have more than 30 years of experience working to help victims of paralysis-causing spinal cord injuries. Our goal is to obtain the compensation they need to help them live as fully as possible within the confines of their injury. If you or a loved one has suffered the effects of a spinal cord injury, contact our law firm to learn if we can help. Call our Manhattan office for a free initial consultation.

Requiring a lifetime of care

The lifetime care and treatment needed by people suffering from paralysis is expensive. Our attorneys develop strong cases to obtain compensation for past and future medical bills, the cost of care, the loss of income, and the pain and suffering caused by the injury. We work with life care experts to calculate the resources needed over the course of a lifetime spent unable to walk, move, or take of personal needs.

Paralysis is usually caused by catastrophic accidents

Our attorneys have helped people injured in car crashes, diving accidents, sports accidents, and construction site accidents. When these accidents are caused by negligence or misconduct, we file a lawsuit to obtain compensation for our client. We have had considerable success obtaining compensation for our clients who suffer from paralysis through no fault of their own.

If you or a loved is paralyzed because of an accident caused by misconduct or negligence, contact us to learn about your options and rights. Our law firm has the resources, access to experts, and experience to develop a strong claim on your behalf.
