If you or someone you love has suffered a severe injury as the result of negligence, malice, or recklessness on the part of a third party, you may be entitled to compensation for the financial and physical toll the injury has had on you. At Proner & Proner, our head, back, spinal cord, and burn injury attorneys in Manhattan serve New York and the entire United States, handling the full range of serious injury cases, no matter how complex.

Spinal Cord Injury

Lifting, pushing, or pulling heavy objects without proper back support are among the most frequent causes of back and spinal cord injury, along with slips, falls, and vehicle accidents. Trauma is the most common cause of severe spinal cord injury and is often the result of unsafe conditions or neglect. The consequences of severe trauma to the spinal cord can be devastating. Severe spinal cord injury can leave the victim completely or partially paralyzed, or suffering from chronic pain.

However, what many people do not know is that even those sitting quietly at their desk at work may be at risk for a spinal cord injury. Throughout the country, office workers with improperly adjusted chairs are at risk for back injury; even bad posture can cause back strain or even herniated discs and nerve damage.

Though nearly inconsequential when compared to the affect on the victim’s lifestyle and personal health, the financial toll of a severe back or spinal cord injury can be staggering anywhere, but especially in New York. Medical bills, the cost of rehabilitation, and other personal assistance needed following the injury as well as lost wages and benefits can add up to a staggering amount of money. The National Spinal Cord Injury Statistics Center reports that on average, the cost to the victim of a spinal cord injury is more than $200,000 for any loss of motor function, and as high as $600,000 if the victim suffers from full quadriplegia, with the costs for each subsequent year ranging from $14,000 to $120,000 depending on the severity of the injury. The experienced spinal cord injury lawyers of Proner & Proner in New York will help you get compensation for the unwanted change in your life, and help you start putting your life back together again.

Back Injuries

Many people suffer from back pain during their adult life. A study by the American Chiropractic Association found that approximately one-third of all Americans over the age of 18 have had back pain so severe that they have sought medical help for it, and it is estimated that 80 percent of Americans will experience some level of back pain in their lives.

Though back pain is nearly unavoidable, persistent or particularly intense back pain may be indicative of a spinal cord injury which requires medical attention. As medical costs can be staggering for a back or spinal cord injury, it is important that if a third party’s negligence, malice, or recklessness is responsible for your injury that they are held accountable for the financial toll.

If you think negligence or a medical mistake may have caused your back or spinal cord injury, contact the New York personal injury attorneys of Proner & Proner today.

Head Injuries

Head injuries can take many forms, and can be caused by a variety of trauma. Blows to the head, shaking, and shock from vehicle accidents can cause head injury, but so can electrocution, suffocation, and other incidents. In some cases, a brain injury may result from head trauma, and the implications of such an injury can be truly devastating. Contact an attorney at Proner & Proner today if you have suffered from a head injury.

Burn Injury

There are many unsafe working conditions that can cause burn injury. Our attorneys in Manhattan, New york can help you if you’ve been burned as a result of poor electrical wiring, arson, shoddy construction, or unsafe appliances. Burn injuries are among the most painful to endure, and the recovery and rehabilitation process can be very lengthy.
