We can discuss your injury and if you can make a claim in your free initial consultation. We’ll also chat about the different options that can be used to pay for your claim, such as a No Win No Fee agreement.

When we have all the information we need from you we’ll start gathering evidence to support your case. It’s likely that you’ll need to be examined by a medical expert who can advise us on the impact of your spinal injury and tell us what sort of treatment you’ll need to make the best recovery possible.

We’ll use all the information we gather to work out how much compensation you'll need. We'll ask those responsible for your spinal injury to accept fault and we’ll try to negotiate a settlement on your behalf. If this isn’t possible or if they deny responsibility for your injuries, we’ll take your claim to court. Even after we've done this, there's a good chance your claim will be settled before any court hearings take place.

In general, claims need to be made within three years of the accident which caused your spinal injury. There are some exceptions to this rule:

• You can claim on behalf of a child anytime before their 18th birthday. Once they turn 18 they'll have three years to make a claim.
• There is no time limit if you're claiming on behalf of someone who doesn't have the mental capacity to claim for themselves. This changes if the person injured regains mental capacity, from which time they will have three years to make a claim.

If you have any concerns about the time limits for claiming compensation we’ll talk you through your options in a free initial consultation. Call us today on 0800 056 4110.

Our high standard of work has meant that we’ve been recognised in the Spinal Injury Association’s directory, a resource listing trusted spinal injury solicitors, as well as the leading guides to the legal profession, Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners.

As well as helping people secure the money and care they need, we work closely with charities and support groups to improve the standards of care available to people with spinal injuries.

Before your claim starts we’ll discuss the variety of funding options which are suitable for your case.

We'll most likely make your claim using a no win no fee agreement. If you win your case, your opponent will pay the majority of your legal costs. Any legal costs not paid by your opponent will be taken from the compensation that you receive.

If your case isn’t successful you won’t have to pay anything*.
