Spinal cord injury can be devastating for the individual involved and their family. Every day in the UK, 2 people are paralysed from an accident which has damaged their spinal cord.
What is a spinal injury?
A spinal cord injury is when the spinal cord is damaged or severed in an accident or event, resulting in some degree of loss of
function, feeling or mobility in other parts of the body. The level of damage caused by a spinal cord injury varies enormously
between patients – with some facing lifelong paralysis from the neck down, while others go on to make a full recovery.
A common misconception
A common misconception is that breaking the back or neck automatically results in a spinal cord injury. This is not the case.
Sometimes bones around the spinal cord can be damaged, leaving the spinal cord itself intact. In these circumstances, any paralysis
is likely to prove temporary while the bones heal.
Claiming compensation
But spinal cord injury is always serious, and the impact it can have on future life is enormous. Making a compensation claim under
these circumstances can go a long way towards helping to get life back on track. Not only will any compensation amount reflect the
serious nature of the spinal cord injury itself, but will also take into account any future financial hardship that may be faced.
