Spinal cord injury - free personal injury compensation claim advice

JMW is one of the UK's leading personal injury solicitor firms and have been representing spinal cord injury clients since its establishment in 1966.

A spinal cord injury can have a colossal impact on the victim and his/her family. Many people simply think that the main aspect is the inability to walk, but the injury has a major emotional and psychological impact on the individual. It can be extremely difficult for the injured person to adjust to changes and cope with being seen as a different person. There is a great deal of medical research and development in this area which gives great hope for the future treatment of spinal cord injury.

We understand that representing a victim of a spinal cord injury involves much more than merely processing a claim. It is important to consider a claimant's rehabilitation needs from the day he or she is discharged from hospital. This can involve either a residential rehabilitation programme costing thousands of pounds, or helping to smooth the way to homecare by engaging the services of an experienced brain injury case manager. This is why our primary objective is to obtain the best treatment and rehabilitation for each of our clients and thereafter the best compensation outcome. Please refer to treatment and rehabilitation services for more details on our service.

JMW has extensive experience in successfully pursuing personal injury compensation claims for people who have been injured in accidents that were not their fault. Each year we recover in excess of £10 million in compensation for our clients, who have been injured in all types of accident, including car accidents, accidents at work, accidents in public places and clinical negligence. Our breadth of experience covers all type and severity of injury from minor whiplash to injuries of a catastrophic nature such as spinal cord injury, head injury and brain injury. Our approach to customer care is to treat people as individuals not just clients and to show sensitivity and respect throughout all stages of the claim.

We work on an ethical no win, no fee basis which means there is no financial outlay or risk to our clients. If we cannot recover our costs and fees from the person at fault's insurance company, you will be protected from any fees or costs*. Win or lose, you will not be liable for any fees and we will not take any deductions from your compensation.
