Spinal injury compensation claims

Each person’s spinal cord injury affects them differently, physically, psychologically and financially. This means that no two clients’ injuries or claims are ever exactly the same. Our experienced solicitors investigate the circumstances of each client’s accident, their injury, and disability and the way it affects their life. Our client’s claim is then carefully calculated to ensure that their compensation will cover their losses and meet their needs, now and in the future.

Our clients’ spinal cord injury claims often include compensation for:

• pain, suffering, and disability;
• rehabilitation costs;
• costs of care and case management;
• costs of therapies, such as:
  • physiotherapy;
  • occupational therapy (OT);
  • speech and language therapy;
  • hydrotherapy;
  • psychological counselling.
• surgical or medical treatment costs;
• home adaptations or increased costs of suitable accommodation;
• specialist vehicles, wheelchairs, equipment, and aids;
• assistive technology (IT);
• loss of earnings and pension;
• special educational support (SEN) (if a child).

In addition to compensation, where rehabilitation is needed to optimise our client’s recovery, we can often secure funding from the defendant’s insurers under the Rehabilitation Code. This allows our client to undergo rehabilitation when they need it most, giving them the best chance of their fullest recovery. Once liability for the accident and injury is established against the defendant, we can also secure substantial interim (advance) payments to help ease financial hardship and pay for necessary specialist equipment, therapies, and adapted accommodation straight away.
