Spinal injury claims can sometimes be substantial in nature. Not only can you be compensated for the physical and psychological injury sustained but you can also make claims for care requirements for the past and future, loss of earnings, the need for aids and equipment as well as claiming any future treatment you may need. These are just a few of the losses that can be claimed if successful.

Spinal injury cases like many medical negligence cases can be complex in nature and as a result, take some time to come to conclusion. In some cases, If negligence can be proven at an earlier stage you may be able to seek an interim payment.

This is a method of receiving some compensation before the case comes to a conclusion that could help you with things such as care costs and the costs of needed aids/equipment.

If you believe you have suffered a spinal injury as a result of medical negligence it is important you seek legal advice as soon as possible.
