Medical mistakes can sometimes lead to injuries to the spinal cord. Because they injuries can cause paralysis and loss of feeling, they can be devastating, life-changing events. We have won damages in claims for medical negligence in many cases involving serious spinal injury.
Our approach to spinal injury claims
These claims can be unusually complex. We have expertise and experience in dealing with the difficult medical and legal issues arising from:
- Mistakes from facet joint injections and caudal epidurals
- Cauda Equina Syndrome
- Missed fractures of the neck and back
- Errors when handling patients with neck and back fractures
- Spinal surgery
Because these injuries can impact on every area of your life, it is important your solicitor understands the complex legal and medical issues involved but is also able to support you through a difficult time. Our solicitors are experienced and sensitive to your needs and will ensure that you receive the best support possible. We also have a network of experts who can assist in preparing your claim and in providing the therapies you will need.
In some circumstances we have obtained early part-payments of damages enabling people to adapt their homes and arrange care at an early stage of a claim.
