Expertise And Understanding From Irwin Mitchell
If you or a family member have been involved in an accident and been left with a spinal cord injury, you will know the huge impact it can have on everyday life. Tasks that were previously straightforward can become difficult, if not impossible, so it is important that you have access to specialist rehabilitation and support.
Our spinal injury experts understand the real impact of spinal cord injury. We have been at the forefront of developing a first class service for clients that covers both compensation claims for spinal injury and ongoing care and support.
Choose us to help you with a spinal injury claim and we will support you to get access to quality medical care, rehabilitation and support, as well as fighting fearlessly to get you the compensation that you deserve.
How We Handle Spinal Cord Injury Claims
We believe that clients with spinal injuries deserve much more than just a compensation payment. A central part of our service is making arrangements for your rehabilitation and long-term care.
You may find that you need to make major changes to your home or that your car is no longer suitable. We have helped many clients who found themselves in this situation and can offer expert advice on specialist equipment, technology and professional support to make to help you adjust to life with a spinal injury.
Our spinal injury lawyers have close relationships with spinal cord injury case managers and rehabilitation providers, so we can make sure you get all the support you need.
Our Experience In Spinal Cord Injury Claims
When you choose us for your spinal injury claim, we will assign an experienced spinal injury solicitor to your claim. He or she will be your contact throughout your claim and will keep you fully up-to-date with progress in language that is clear and easy to understand.
The solicitors in our spinal injury team are recognised in the Spinal Injury Association’s (SIA) directory, with many also recognised in the leading independent guides to the legal profession: Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners.
