Understanding spinal injury

The spinal cord is like a highway of nerves and its job is to relay messages from the brain to the body and back again. Damage to this information highway means the messages sent from the brain are not received by the body (and vice versa), resulting in the loss of feeling, function and movement in certain parts of the anatomy.

Spinal cord injuries are classified in two ways:

how badly the spinal cord has been damaged (complete or incomplete)
the specific location of the injury on the spinal cord

Spinal injuries can happen in lots of ways including road traffic accidents, a fall from a horse, through medical negligence, during birth or in an accident at work to name a few.

Your rights and eligibility

If you suffered a spinal injury and someone else was to blame, you might want to make a compensation claim.

Serious spinal cord injuries can be life changing, either permanently or for an extended period of time. You may need ongoing specialist care, mobility support, medical equipment, home adaptations and your earnings may be affected. All of those things come at a cost and a spinal injury claim is often the only way to meet all the additional financial demands.

Our specialist solicitors have extensive experience in this area and are in touch with expert clinicians who can advise on what is available to improve your life. We explore every aspect of your specific need to set you up for the very best future possible.

How can compensation help?

Although compensation cannot undo the harm that you’ve suffered, it can help compensate you for your pain and suffering, as well as alleviate any financial pressure that you might encounter as a result of it. For instance, compensation could pay for:

medical appointments and treatment
specialist medical care that might not be available through the NHS
home adaptations or the purchase of an adapted house
vehicle adaptations or the purchase of a more suitable vehicle for your needs
specialist medical and mobility devices
funds to enable you to re-learn any skills you may have lost because of the injury or access other rehabilitation services
loss of earnings

As expert solicitors focusing on serious injury, medical negligence, mental capacity and education, you can trust us to get the best results for you.

We know how hard it is to deal with the harm you or a loved one has suffered. We’ll support you with empathy every step of the way.
