Spinal Injury Compensation

The spine is a very important part of the human body. It is vital for support (i.e. helping us to stand) and also carries messages for the brain to the rest of the body through the spinal cord. It therefore follows that if you injure your spine, there could be very serious ramifications to your quality of life. If the injury is caused by the negligence of a third party, then the victim could be entitled to bring a personal injury claim for compensation.

A claim can be brought where the negligent party owes the victim a duty of care and has injured the victim as a result of breaching that duty. Common examples of such duties of care include road users to each other, doctors to their patients, and employers to their employees.

Make a Compensation Claim for Spinal Injuries

Any spinal injury compensation claim should be brought with the assistance of Accident Claims Sheffield. We will be able to assist with establishing liability and ensuring that you are awarded the maximum amount of compensation.

The actual amount of compensation that will be awarded will depend on the seriousness of the spinal injury. It will be awarded in accordance with government guidelines and the amount that has been awarded in previously decided cases on similar facts. As you might expect, where the spine has been injured, depending on the long term implications, the amount of compensation awarded could be substantial.

Compensation will also be awarded for any consequential loss such as medical expenses, care cost and loss of income. Accident Claims Sheffield will be best placed to guide on how much compensation you could be entitled to.
