NYC defective sidewalk accidents can result in serious injuries to the neck, back, head, knees, shoulders, legs, arms, muscles, bones, tissues, and nerves. These injuries involve complex medical issues because they often require surgery. Because of the seriousness of the injuries that can result from NYC defective sidewalk accidents and the pain that accompanies these injuries, our clients often are forced to undergo surgery such as spinal surgery, open reduction, internal fixation/placement of hardware, hip replacement, knee replacement, and various arthroscopic surgeries.

Common defective sidewalk injury cases that we handle include but are not limited to:

• Spinal cord injuries, including herniated and bulging discs (slipped discs), fractured/displaced vertebrae, often resulting in surgery to the neck or back;
• Fractured/broken bones, often resulting in surgeries involving placement of pins, plates, rods and screws;
• Torn muscles, ligaments, and tendons, leading to arthroscopic or full open surgery;
• Injuries to shoulders, knees, hips, ankles, wrists, hands, often resulting in surgery
• Sciatica, nerve damage, “pinched” nerves, radiculopathy, arthritis, often leading to surgery
