The Claim – how it works

The process requires a thorough understanding of the special requirements of the spinal injury victim. We will use our experience in this area to help you at this traumatic time.

We will discuss your spinal injury case with you in detail with a sensitive and supportive approach. We will take your statement in hospital at home or at our offices - at your convenience. We will obtain your medical records. We will then ask appropriate independent experts to meet you to discuss all your short term and long-term needs.

Any compensation awarded will take into account not only the pain and suffering you have endured but also your expenses past, present and future. These include housing issues, care and equipment, nursing care, transport costs, rehabilitation costs and loss of earnings.

We will prepare a detailed valuation of your claim and will put your case to the Defendants. Should we be unable to settle your case immediately we can bring formal court proceedings to increase the pressure on the defendant and if necessary take your claim to trial. We will consider interim payment applications to assist your financial situation if your claim is disputed.

When you receive your spinal injury compensation from the defendant we will advise you on long term financial planning including investment and setting up of trusts through experienced financial advisors. We will also put you in touch with support groups who can help you adjust to your life.
