Catastrophic Injuries

Amputation - Brain Injury - Spinal Cord Injury

Our lawyers know that the cost of catastrophic injuries is enormous. Victims frequently need multiple surgeries, lengthy hospital stays, and lifetime rehab. They can require expensive durable medical equipment. They are often unable to work again or care for themselves. They may need to live in a supervised environment.

At the New York City and New Jersey law firm of Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C., we help people who have suffered serious, life-changing injuries. Founded in 1981, our firm is known for taking on challenging, difficult cases. We work with medical experts and investigators to be sure that the facts of the case are uncovered. We consult with life planners and vocational specialists to determine the cost of the injury throughout the lifetime of the victim. We use our in-house courtroom to prepare legal strategies. We use our considerable resources to obtain the maximum compensation possible so that clients can receive the care, treatment, and equipment they need to live as full a life as possible.

Our clients include people who have suffered brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, and other consequences of a serious accident. Victims of these types of injuries are often cognitively impaired, paralyzed, or unable to perform some of the most simple physical tasks. If your injury prevents you from visiting our office, we will be happy to visit you at home or in the hospital. To speak with an experienced spinal cord or brain injury lawyer, contact us at our New York City or Teaneck, New Jersey, offices for a free initial consultation.

Causes of catastrophic injuries

Serious injuries such as spinal cord or brain injury can be caused by almost any type of accident. Our firm has helped people injured in

• Auto accidents
• Trucking accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Public transportation accidents
• Drunk driving accidents
• Boating and recreational vehicle accidents
• Falls
• Construction site accidents
• Fires
• Medical Malpractice

In addition to spinal cord injury and brain injury, injuries from accidents such as these can include blindness, severe burns, and accidental amputation. Caring for people with catastrophic injuries requires a coordinated team to address the multiple issues that accompany paralysis, neurological problems, and amputations.

If these injuries and the accidents that caused them were the result of negligence or misconduct by another, we can help. Whether the injured person is suffering from a brain injury caused by a car wreck, or a spinal cord injury suffered in a construction site accident, our experienced lawyers have the resources and experience to do whatever is needed to build a strong case for you. Each injury case is different. Our attorneys, working with the care team of our client, develop a claim that is rooted in the client's specific needs over the course of his or her life or for the duration of the injury.

Because one of our partners, Steven Bevenisti, suffered a serious brain injury before attending law school, our attorneys have a special commitment to helping brain injury victims. Steve himself is a frequent speaker to youth groups, brain injury associations, and is a trustee of the Brain Injury Association of New Jersey (2006-2009).
