Spinal cord injury compensation claims
Claim compensation for your spinal injury
If you’ve suffered a spinal injury, our specialist lawyers could help you claim compensation. Irwin Mitchell has championed the cause of rehabilitation for a long time, something that was recognised as long ago as 1999 when our spinal cord injury teams won “The Lawyer National Client Care Award”. Rehabilitation has remained at the heart of our legal work for spinal injuries ever since. In 2008 we won the Rehab First Award based in part upon one of our spinal cord injury cases.

About spinal injuries
Every year, thousands of people with spinal injuries in the UK can claim compensation. We understand that spinal cord injury has long term or permanent implications. As well as the loss of physical mobility and other serious long term health issues, you could be left worrying about the cost of medical care, loss of future earnings, benefits arrangements and patient and disability rights. We can help ease these worries as part of your spinal injury claim.
How we’ll help you with your spinal injury claim and rehabilitation
Our first priority is to prove that someone else is at fault for your injuries. We have the strength of specialist in-house services to help us achieve that, for example our road traffic collision investigation service. Once we have proven liability, the priority will be to obtain interim payments to make sure that you are able to afford the support, housing and equipment that you will need as a result of your spinal cord injury. We will refer you for advice with housing adaptations, employing support and claiming benefits wherever this will assist you.
We are keen for accident victims to receive all the help that they are entitled to, for now and the future, and we could even pursue claims in cases where you didn’t think it would be possible. For example, a claim is still possible if you’re hit by a driver who remains unidentified, or you’re assaulted by someone who has not been caught, or even if the accident was partly your fault. Get in touch with us for a free initial consultation with an expert spinal injury lawyer to see if you have a claim.
