Spinal Injuries
It is estimated there are more than 40,000 people suffering a spinal injury in the UK. One charity estimates a new spinal cord injury occurs every 8 hours. While spinal cord injuries can be severe and have far reaching consequences, distinguishing between spinal injuries and spinal cord injuries is necessary to determine the care that may be needed in the long term. Both can be the result of a trauma and both are worth pursuing if there is a negligent party. Sports injuries, accidents and assaults are all common causes of spinal problems and these catastrophic injuries have specialists at the Medical Accident Group who know precisely how much a spinal injury can affect your life.
Consequences of a spinal injury can include paraplegia, anterior, posterior or central cord syndrome and tetraplegia. Some spinal injuries can restrict mobility and more severe types can result in total body paralysis.
Some injuries can be the result of a trauma, and if your injury is as a result of a criminal attack you could receive a payment from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). This is a government-funded award and there are strict conditions for the compensation to be awarded.
If however you discover that your spinal injury is as a result of negligent medical treatment, you can also gain compensation from the negligent party, and while medical professionals are there to help you, sometimes accidents can happen, and our medical negligence experts will provide initial free advice on how best to proceed and gain the maximum compensation you deserve.
