Common Injuries in Personal Injury Claims

The injuries resulting from accidents often have life-long impacts on you and your family. At Futterman Lanza, LLP, we have extensive experience handling cases involving a wide spectrum of injuries, from minor to catastrophic. No matter how serious your injury is, it is still essential that you seek medical attention as soon as possible after your accident, even if you do not notice symptoms right away.

Our attorneys have experience helping clients who have suffered injuries such as:

Head and brain injuries: Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can have devastating lifelong effects. Whether from a car accident or a fall, the impact can affect cognitive functions, physical abilities and emotional health.
Soft tissue injuries: These include sprains, strains and bruises often resulting from slips and falls or car accidents. Although sometimes dismissed as minor, these injuries can lead to longer-term discomfort and mobility issues.
Broken bones: Fractures can occur in any accident but are especially common in falls, pedestrian accidents and motor vehicle collisions. The severity can range from simple fractures requiring casts to complex ones needing surgical intervention.
Spinal cord injuries: These injuries can lead to partial or complete paralysis, often necessitating long-term medical care and serious lifestyle changes. Accidents involving significant force and impact, like traffic collisions or severe falls, commonly cause these injuries.
Burns: Severe burns not only cause excruciating pain but can also require extensive, ongoing medical treatment and lead to permanent scarring. These injuries often occur in workplace accidents or from vehicle fires after a crash.
Emotional and mental trauma: Accidents can cause lasting psychological scars, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and depression, affecting an individual’s ability to lead a normal life.

At Futterman Lanza, LLP, we understand that each injury affects our clients in unique ways, impacting their health, work and family life. We are dedicated to providing personalized, compassionate legal support to help our clients navigate these challenging times. Our team works tirelessly to ensure that you receive the compensation you need to recover and rebuild your life.

Understanding Compensation in New York Personal Injury Cases

When you are hurt in an accident or due to negligence, you may be entitled to recover damages that cover both economic and noneconomic losses. Economic damages include compensation for costs incurred due to the accident, such as medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, lost earning capacity and property damage, while noneconomic damages cover pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment or quality of life.

Without experienced legal representation, you may find yourself at a disadvantage, especially when dealing with insurance companies. These companies often have experienced lawyers working to minimize your compensation to settle your case as quickly and cheaply as possible. An experienced personal injury attorney from Futterman Lanza, LLP, will provide the leverage needed to negotiate fair compensation. We ensure that insurance companies take your claim seriously, preventing them from making inadequate offers that do not meet your needs.
