    What Kind of Spinal Injuries Can I Claim For?

    Any spinal cord injury is serious. It can have a huge impact on your life, limiting movement in crucial parts of your body, like your legs, arms, chest and stomach. It can even result in paralysis.

    You can claim for a variety of spinal injuries if they were the result of someone else’s actions or negligence. Some common types of spinal injuries that could lead to a claim include tetraplegia (or quadriplegia), soft tissue injuries, disc lesions, disc fractures, herniated discs, slipped discs and paralysis.

    Road traffic collisions are the most common cause of spinal injuries; however, this type of injury can occur as a result of extreme pressure or impact on your back or neck. Spine injuries are most likely to occur in the cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower back) regions of the spine.

    If you’ve sustained any kind of injury to your spine as a result of an incident that wasn’t your fault, you should be eligible to make spinal injury claims. Our spinal injury lawyers understand just how life-changing these injuries can be and how devastating they can be for the victim and their loved ones.

    Local bus company ordered to pay over £17,000 including damages and costs following road traffic accident
    A road-traffic collision with a bus on a roundabout left our claimant with an injury and a difficult case to prove. In these types of incidents, it is notoriously difficult to prove that the accident was the fault of one single party. Capital Lawyers, with the assistance of their preferred trial barrister, Stephen Hines of CityGate Chambers, convinced the judge that the bus driver was 100% responsible for the accident. The result for our claimant? We successfully secured compensation of over £9,000.

    What Can Compensation Cover?

    The compensation you receive will depend on a variety of factors; we’ll be able to give you a more precise estimate once we’re familiar with the specifics of your case. However, generally, you can expect the compensation you receive to cover the likes of…

    • Treatment costs and travel expenses to attend appointments
    • The costs of ongoing care for the injury
    • The loss of earnings due to time off work
    • Loss of future earnings as a result of your injury

    We make the procedure as simple as we can because we understand how difficult it may be to make a claim. Additionally, you won’t be responsible for any payments if your claim is denied because we work on a no-win, no-fee basis. Speak with our spinal injury lawyers right now.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is there a time limit for spinal injury claims?

    Generally, in the UK, the time limit is three years from the date of the incident, although there are some exceptions to this. If you’re unsure, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

    Can I make a claim on behalf of a loved one?

    Yes, absolutely. We often work with the families of spinal injury victims, allowing you to make a claim on their behalf.

    If I was partly to blame for the accident, can I still make a claim?

    Yes, it is still possible to make a claim in this instance. Blame will be apportioned between each party, and your compensation will be adjusted accordingly, based on ‘how much to blame’ you were.
