Spinal Injury Claim

A spinal injury claim for compensation can be made where an individual suffers a spinal injury due to the fault of a third party. Some of the most common causes of spinal injury include road traffic accidents, falls, sports injuries and gunshot wounds. Spinal cord injuries are likely to have long-lasting consequences, many of them leading to permanent paralysis or disability. Spinal injuries may lead to the loss of use of all limbs, which is known as "quadriplegia", or loss of use of the legs, known as "paraplegia". This is likely to lead to significant medical costs and costs associated with full-time or part-time care, as well as causing pain, mental anguish, social problems and loss of earnings. Spinal injury claims are aimed at helping victims to recover compensation for these from the third-party responsible for the injury.
