Specialist legal support
Our in-house team includes legal specialists alongside experienced nursing and medical professionals with many years of combined clinical experience. This means we can consider both the legal aspects of your potential claim and the nature and impact of your injuries from an early stage.
This can be particularly valuable following a spinal injury, where there may be complex medical, rehabilitation and long-term care needs to consider.
Where appropriate, we can connect you with a specialist solicitor from our trusted legal panel with experience relevant to your circumstances.
Clear advice about your options
We consider how the injury occurred, who may have been responsible, the information available about your injuries and the effect they have had on your work, finances and everyday life.
This initial assessment can help establish whether there may be grounds for a claim and explain the options available to you.
Support beyond the claim
A spinal injury may create significant ongoing needs. We can help you explore other services and support that may be relevant to your circumstances.
Could you make a spinal injury claim?
You may be able to make a claim if a spinal injury was caused wholly or partly by another person’s negligence or wrongdoing.
Spinal injuries can arise in many different circumstances, including:
- road traffic accidents
- motorbike or cycling accidents
- accidents at work
- falls from height
- accidents in public places
- medical negligence
- sporting or recreational accidents
- assaults or other criminal injuries
Responsibility is not always immediately clear. If you are unsure how the injury happened or whether another person or organisation may have been at fault, it can still be worth obtaining specialist advice.
What could compensation cover?
Every claim is different, but compensation may take account of:
- your injuries, pain and suffering
- loss of earnings and future earning capacity
- medical treatment and rehabilitation
- care and support
- case management
- specialist wheelchairs and mobility equipment
- adaptations to your home
- adapted vehicles and transport needs
- assistive technology
- travel and other expenses
- support with education or returning to work
- the longer-term effect on your everyday life
Where an injury has permanent consequences, a claim may need to consider care, treatment, equipment and financial needs many years into the future.
