Spinal Injury Claims

Where the spinal cord has been injured in an accident, which perhaps took place at work, on the road or in a sports accident there will often be irreversible and life changing damage, such as motor and sensory paralysis, impaired bowel, bladder or sexual function.

We know that spinal injured clients often need long term treatment. We know that there can be a significant period of adjustment when a spinal injury occurs. Some clients require their home to be  adapted and some may need to adapt to using a wheelchair. Clients may need to be put in touch with specialist charities, medical practitioners or therapists and others may require long term rehabilitation and care for the rest of their lives. Most will need financial help – whether from state benefits or otherwise.

Every day three people sustain a spinal cord injury in the UK

Where the spinal cord has been damaged in an accident, and whether a complete high level lesion or an incomplete injury to the lower back, it is essential that advice is sought from a specialist solicitor who truly understands the nature and complications of this most debilitating type of personal injury.

We adopt a family-focussed approach to the way we help our clients, and provide support with the practicalities of life with a spinal cord injury (or living with someone who has a spinal cord injury) which goes well beyond the service provided by most firms.

From day one we fight for early rehabilitation funding to ensure the provision of appropriate housing, care, equipment and therapy.
