Spinal Cord Injury lawyers
Serving the residents of Long Island and all 5 boroughs in NY (Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Bronx, and Staten Island).
Spinal cord injuries usually begin with a blow that fractures or dislocates your vertebrae, the bone disks that make up your spine and protect your spinal cord. One of our clients, a 53-year-old man, was in a car stopped at a stop sign and struck in the rear. He sustained injuries to the upper neck and back requiring cervical spine fusion. We fought for our client’s chance at fair compensation and won $250,000 on his behalf. If you would like us to fight for you, contact Sullivan and Sullivan LLP immediately for a free case evaluation. We will provide a translator if you need one.
Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries
Victims of head-on collisions and severe car accidents often suffer life-altering consequences, including traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), such as concussions, brain swelling, and cognitive impairments. Spinal cord injuries, broken bones and fractures, and internal organ damage are also common. Speak to a personal injury attorney today if you or someone you love has experienced a head-on collision. Protect your rights, advocate for the victim, and hold the responsible parties accountable. Determining liability in head-on collisions can be complicated and multi-faceted. Potentially responsible parties might include negligent drivers, those under the influence of substances, municipalities, government agencies, or even vehicle manufacturers if a malfunction caused the wreck. Discuss your case with a head-on collision lawyer for more information.
What Is a Spinal Cord Injury?
Spinal cord injury (SCI) occurs when the nerves within the spinal canal are damaged. Most SCI’s are caused by trauma to the vertebral column, affecting the spinal cord’s ability to send and receive messages between the brain and the body’s systems that control sensory, motor and autonomic function.

The Long-Term Costs of Spinal Cord Injuries
