Back and Spine Injuries are Debilitating
Back and spine injuries are painful. Even the smallest daily tasks may be impossible to complete. Additionally, those injured face astronomical medical costs, and long-term care may be necessary. These expenses can have a real impact on your financial future.
Did your injuries result from another individual or entity’s negligent actions or inactions? If so, you may be able to hold them responsible and receive compensation for your losses. After all, the situation could have been avoided with a little more care.
By filing a personal injury lawsuit, you can seek the compensation you need. That said, New York laws regarding personal injury claims are complicated, and insurance companies and their lawyers will attempt to deny claims and minimize payment. Fortunately, help is available.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our Back and Spine Injury Attorneys in Buffalo Respond to Your Concerns
It’s natural that embarking on legal action results in many questions. Below we have answered those most often raised.
What type of damages may I be entitled to receive?
In New York, personal injury victims may receive a combination of economic, non-economic, and sometimes punitive damages. Your Buffalo personal injury lawyer can elaborate on those applicable to your case.
How do you prove negligence?
For your Buffalo personal injury attorney to prove negligence, they must show that (1) the defendant owed you a duty of care, (2) they breached that duty, (3) the breach caused your injuries, and (4) the injuries resulted in real damages.
What is the time limit for filing my lawsuit?
The statute of limitations in New York is generally three years from the date of injury. That said, many exceptions to the deadline exist. Ask your Buffalo back and spine injury attorney if these exceptions impact you.
What if my actions contributed to the accident?
New York generally uses a pure comparative negligence standard for personal injury cases. If you are found partly at fault, your damages are reduced according to the amount of your fault.
Should I talk directly to insurance companies?
Only talk to insurance companies with your Buffalo spinal cord injury attorney present. Insurance companies will try to use your words against you and may offer a lowball settlement.
