What Paralysis Injury Claims Mean in Burlington County
A paralysis injury changes virtually every aspect of a person’s life. In the context of a Burlington County personal injury claim, the term “paralysis” generally refers to the loss of muscle function in part of the body caused by trauma to the spinal cord or brain. Common accident scenarios that lead to such injuries include motor vehicle collisions on the New Jersey Turnpike, I-295, Route 130, and local roads in communities like Mount Laurel and Medford. Falls on commercial premises, construction site accidents, and incidents involving defective products also produce paralysis cases.
Personal injury claims arising from paralysis are pursued in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division — Civil Part (Burlington County), located at 49 Rancocas Road in Mount Holly. Claims seeking damages fall within the Superior Court’s jurisdiction, which is typical for paralysis cases given the high cost of lifetime medical care, assistive technology, and home modifications. Discovery in these matters routinely includes independent medical examinations (IMEs) and testimony from treating physicians, neurologists, vocational rehabilitation attorneys, and life care planners. New Jersey’s modified comparative fault rule means that any allegation of the injured person’s own negligence must be carefully evaluated because a finding of more than 50 percent fault eliminates the right to recover entirely.
How Mr. Sris and His Of Counsel Handle Paralysis Cases
Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel approach each paralysis claim with a focus on building a complete picture of liability, medical need, and future damages. The process begins with an in‑depth investigation: photographs, accident reports, and witness statements are gathered, and all medical records from the initial emergency response through rehabilitation are reviewed in detail. The firm works with qualified medical experts to assess the extent of the injury and to project the long‑term costs of care, therapy, and adaptive equipment.
Once the full scope of the loss is understood, Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel prepare a settlement demand that is substantiated by the evidence. Negotiations with insurance carriers are conducted on an informed basis, and when a fair resolution cannot be reached, the firm is prepared to try the case before a jury in the Burlington Vicinage. Because New Jersey’s automobile insurance system includes a verbal threshold, proving a serious and permanent injury is a critical step in many paralysis claims arising from car accidents. Mr. Sris and his team have experience handling the medical proofs and legal arguments needed to establish that a paralysis injury meets the threshold and entitles the plaintiff to seek full damages.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a paralysis injury claim in Burlington County?
In New Jersey, a claim for personal injury, including paralysis, must be filed within two years from the date of the injury. This deadline is set by New Jersey law. If the claim is not commenced within that period, the court will generally dismiss it. Certain exceptions, such as the discovery rule, may apply in limited circumstances, but anyone who has suffered a paralysis injury should speak with a lawyer promptly to protect their right to recover. Contact Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C. at (888) 437-7747 for a review of your situation.
What damages can I recover for a paralysis injury in Burlington County?
You may recover economic and non-economic damages, including medical bills, lost wages, loss of future earning capacity, pain and suffering, and loss of consortium. New Jersey does not cap compensatory damages, so juries may award whatever amount the evidence supports. In a paralysis case, damages often include the cost of lifetime care, home modifications, and rehabilitation. Because each case is different, the actual amount will depend on the specific evidence of liability and the severity of the harm. Results may vary.
What if I was partly at fault for the accident that caused my paralysis?
Under New Jersey’s modified comparative fault law, you can still recover damages unless you are found to be more than 50 percent responsible for the accident. If your percentage of fault is 50 percent or less, your recovery is reduced in proportion to your share of fault. For paralysis claims, the allocation of fault is often a central, contested issue. Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel investigate accidents thoroughly to build a strong case on liability. To discuss how comparative fault may affect your claim, reach Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C. at (888) 437-7747.
Do I need to go to court for a paralysis injury claim?
Many paralysis claims settle without a trial, but the case must be prepared as if it will be tried. The firm conducts discovery, retains attorneys, and develops trial‑ready evidence from the beginning. If the insurance company offers a fair settlement, the case can resolve; if not, Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel are prepared to take the case to a jury in the Burlington Vicinage. For a consultation, call (888) 437-7747.
What should I do immediately after an accident that may cause paralysis?
Get emergency medical care, follow all treatment recommendations, and avoid speaking with insurance adjusters until you have consulted a lawyer. Early medical documentation is crucial, and statements made to insurers can be used to minimize the value of your claim. Gather any photographs and witness contact information you can safely obtain. Then contact a personal injury attorney who can guide you through the process. Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C. can be reached at (888) 437-7747.
