Catastrophic Injury

Has Your Life Been Upended By An Injury In New York?

Despite spending decades building a stable and comfortable life, no easy task in New York City, a single unfortunate accident can bring it all crashing down. Through no fault of your own, a car accident or slip-and-fall incident could leave you unable to hold on to your job, or a dog attack may leave a loved one injured.

These types of injuries are known as Catastrophic Injuries because of how severely and for how long they impact your life. If you or someone you love has been the victim of a catastrophic injury, you need a lawyer with sensitivity and skill to make sure that you get full compensation for your injuries and their impacts.

In New York City, personal injury lawyer David A. Kapelman knows the emotional and economic toll these kinds of injuries can have on you, your life and your family. He works hard to ensure that each catastrophic injury claim is resolved as efficiently and fully as possible, minimizing stress for you and your loved ones.

David A. Kapelman: Your Catastrophic Injury Lawyer

Attorney David Kapelman has been representing injury victims in New York City and throughout the state for the better part of four decades. During this time, he has helped countless injury victims and their families find hope, justice and a path forward through consequential financial compensation.

He has fought for victims of all kinds of injuries, including those hurt by:

• Car crashes, such as a young person who was paralyzed in an automobile rollover accident.
• Medical malpractice, such as an infant who suffered from Erb’s palsy after a birth injury.
• Lead paint poisoning.
• Sexual assault or rape in supposedly secure environments and inadequately secured buildings, parking lots, swimming pools, schools, school buses, camps or residential facilities.
• Dog attacks, including children injured by vicious dogs.
• Construction accidents, such as a worker who was injured by a poorly secured machine.

If you have been hurt, especially if you have become disabled, due to any kind of accident or injury, you deserve compensation. Attorney Kapelman’s job as your catastrophic personal injury lawyer is to ensure you receive enough to help you recover and move forward.

What Can You Obtain Compensation For After A Catastrophic Injury?

In New York, too many accident victims and injured workers never see the full compensation they are due. Insurance companies talk them into accepting early, convenient settlements at a steep discount or try to blame the victim for their injuries to avoid paying the compensation they owe.

Here at The Law Offices of David A. Kapelman, P.C., we fight to keep that from happening, and that starts by making sure you know what you are owed. With our help, you can obtain financial compensation for:

• Medical bills and other expenses, including future medical costs needed to cover ongoing treatment or care.
• Lost wages and income for time spent injured or recovering, including compensation for reduced earning capacity in the future if your injury has caused full or partial disability.
• Emotional harm, pain and suffering, a loss in the quality of your day-to-day life and other non-economic damages that might apply, such as trauma.

We fight hard to obtain consequential amounts by gathering key evidence, negotiating hard with insurance companies, and litigating cases in court when required.
