Approximately 8,000 people receive spinal cord injuries in the United States each year. Many spinal cord injuries are the result of a traumatic accident caused by the negligent act of another party. In many of these cases these horrible injuries could have been avoided if the defendant would have been more cautious and observant. If you have suffered a spinal cord injury due to the negligence of another party please contact a New York spinal injury attorney at Wingate, Russotti & Shapiro.
