Spinal Cord Injury Claims

Your spinal cord is a structure which contains nerves, tissue and fluid, extending from your brain to your lower back.

An injury to your spinal cord can be catastrophic and can cause permanent damage including paralysis, loss of bladder or bowel control, and can affect sexual function.

If a spinal cord injury has been negligently caused, or misdiagnosed or negligently treated, you may be able to make a compensation claim.

What causes a spinal cord injury?

The spinal cord can be damaged through trauma or wear and tear of your back.

However, sometimes, a spinal cord injury can be caused by medical negligence, such as through negligent surgery or due to a delayed diagnosis of a back or neck fracture, or a delayed diagnosis of discitis (an infection of the discs of your spine).

Examples of the types of cases that we can assist with:

Can you make a compensation claim?

If you believe you have suffered as a result of negligence surrounding a spinal cord injury, you may be eligible to claim compensation.

Due to the complex medical and legal issues involved, it is essential that you talk to a specialist clinical negligence solicitor. A specialist will understand all the implications of a spinal cord injury. This means that they can maximise your compensation if you succeed in your claim. You can contact us by calling 01244 354688, or by filling in our contact form. We are happy to offer free, confidential, and professional advice on potential clinical negligence claims.

It is important to contact us as soon as possible. This is because there are strict time limits in place for making a claim for compensation. Once contacted, our solicitors will be able to advise you specifically on the facts of your own case. We even have an in-house dual-qualified doctor/solicitor who can assist in assessing whether or not you may have suffered from clinical negligence.
