If you’ve hurt your back, neck or head in a fall, you need a great law firm. Call Feiner & Lavy today for a free case evaluation!
A back injury can not only be initially serious, but its effects can linger for months, years or even the rest of your life! The personal injury attorneys at Feiner & Lavy know that this can be an extremely costly injury for anyone, but especially for people who work with their hands for a living.
As one of the top personal injury law firms in the Bronx, the professionals at Feiner & Lavy will assess your case for free. The first item that will make this a good case is if you were injured through no fault of your own. Some of the conditions that commonly cause a slip and fall (usually landing on your back) or trip and fall (usually falling forward) include slippery substances on floors, ice- or snow-covered sidewalks, walkways or staircases that are uneven, potholes in parking lots, or unexpected obstacles. There are many other reasons, but these are some of the biggest culprits.
What Is a Back Injury?
This may seem obvious, but there are several different types of back injuries. There are sprains and strains, which is an injury to a muscle or muscles or ligaments in the back, and this can induce painful spasms. Herniated discs are when the disc “slips” and puts pressure on a spinal nerve, which can result in a pinched nerve. This can be painful, leading to tingling, weakness, pain or even numbness. Fractured vertebrae can be very serious, especially a fracture dislocation, which is when vertebrae in the back are broken, bone fragments can be lodged in nerves and ligaments can also be torn. A fractured vertebra is very serious. And there are spinal cord injuries, which is when a condition results in an injury to the spinal cord. This can result in loss of movement, paralysis to a part of the body, loss of sensation. These are usually the result of a high-impact injury but can occur in more severe common injuries.
If you are someone who works with their hands – as many of our neighbors in the Bronx do for a living – then you know that this is about more than pain and suffering. If you’re a plumber or carpenter or cleaner or cook, you can be sidelined for work for a long time. If you don’t have insurance coverage and your injury requires surgery and rehabilitation, you can be looking at tens of thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket costs. Factor in your lost wages, your pain and suffering, and the assorted other costs related to a serious injury, and you can understand why the person responsible for your slip and fall or trip and fall injury should be made to pay the maximum amount that we can collect on your behalf.
As a responsible and honest law firm, we ask that our clients understand that this compensation that is a gift. This is how the legal system can tabulate an equivalency for the losses and suffering you’ve been through as a result of someone else’s negligence.
