Most people who sustain a spinal injury are aged between 18 and 35 years old. A very large percentage of those who are injured are unable to return to work. The biggest causes of spinal injury are road traffic accidents, accidents at work, illness, sporting accidents e.g. skiing, boating accidents, diving into water. Some injuries are the result of a fall. Sometimes spinal cord injury can happen when surgery goes wrong.
Where a spinal injury occurs through clinical negligence, we at Barlow Robbins LLP can help.
At Barlow Robbins LLP, we are a specialist group of lawyers; familiar with these types of claim. Our team specialises in both personal injury and clinical negligence cases and we are praised for our ability in dealing with catastrophic brain or spinal injury claims.
We recognise that spinal injured clients often need long term treatment. We know that there can be a transitional period of adjustment when a spinal injury occurs. Some clients require adaptations to their home and some may need to adapt to using a wheelchair. Some clients may need to be put in touch with specialist charities, medical practitioners or therapists. Some clients require long term rehabilitation and care for the rest of their lives. Most will need financial help – whether from state benefits or otherwise.
