Spinal Injuries

Spinal injury claims involving quadriplegia or paraplegia can be amongst the most distressing because the victim is only too aware of their limitations and what the future holds.  Patients with spinal injuries are likely to have large claims for losses of earnings, the cost of future care, equipment needs and the cost of purchasing and adapting accommodation.

Evidence is likely to be needed from a wide range of different experts as to the consequences of the spinal damage.  We have considerable experience of putting together and valuing these complex claims.

Spinal injury claims which we have successfully handled include:

  • £1.25 million damages recovered for the failure to give proper treatment to a diabetic with abscesses resulting in paraplegia. 
  • Nearly £600,000 damages recovered for the failure, following a disc removal operation, to prevent the development of cauda equina syndrome.
