A spinal cord injury can permanently affect movement, sensation and independence. Whether it results in partial loss of function or complete paralysis, the impact is profound. When the injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, compensation can provide the lifelong care, equipment and support needed.
How do spinal injuries happen?
Spinal cord injuries commonly result from road traffic collisions, falls from height at work, sporting accidents and medical negligence. Paralysis is often described as paraplegia, affecting the lower body, or tetraplegia, affecting all four limbs.
Do you have a claim?
We must show another party was at fault and that their failing caused your injury. We work with spinal consultants, occupational therapists and care experts to set out your needs, now and for the future.
What are the time limits?
Usually three years from the injury or the date of knowledge, with different rules for children and those who lack mental capacity.
What can you claim for?
Claims are frequently among the largest: wheelchairs and specialist equipment, care and assistance, physiotherapy and rehabilitation, accessible accommodation or adaptations, an adapted vehicle, and lost and future earnings. Interim payments can fund essentials during the claim.
