Our Brooklyn Law Firm Settles Serious Car Accident Claims
New York law limits the amount of financial compensation an injured person can receive unless the injuries are "serious" as defined under New York law. If an injury meets the definition of "serious," the accident victim still must present solid expert testimony regarding the financial and medical impact of the injury.
A person who suffers spinal cord damage or a back injury after a car accident may have a hard time getting a full and fair settlement without help from a personal injury lawyer. Hire an attorney with significant experience negotiating under New York's no-fault car accident laws.

Why Is It Hard to Get a Fair Settlement for Accident Victims With Back Injuries?
For people with spinal cord damage resulting in partial or full paralysis (the medical terms are paraplegia and quadriplegia), the settlement demand must include strong expert evidence of the lifetime impact of the injuries on the person's physical health and ability to work. This settlement negotiation is the injured person's only opportunity to get full compensation for all medical and economic effects of the injury; once a settlement is accepted, additional funds cannot be obtained. An experienced personal injury lawyer will arrange the necessary examinations to build the required proof of the injured person's current and future medical needs. We work with medical and economic professionals with recognized expertise.
People with less obvious spinal cord damage — such as bulging or herniated discs — will face opposition to their claim. The insurance company will argue that the back injury does not qualify as a "serious injury" under New York law. Or, the insurance company may review the injured person's pre-accident medical records and argue that the back injury was the result of a pre-existing medical condition and was not caused by the car accident. In such cases, your attorney must be able to review and understand complex medical testimony and organize counterarguments in order to pursue fair compensation on your behalf.
