Spinal Injury Claims Solicitors

A spinal injury can have a profound effect on every aspect of a person’s life. Depending on the severity of the injury, individuals may experience chronic pain, reduced mobility, loss of independence and significant changes to their employment and family circumstances.

Serious spinal injuries often require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation and ongoing support. In the most severe cases, spinal cord damage can result in permanent paralysis and lifelong care needs.

At Bridge McFarland LLP, our specialist serious injury solicitors help individuals and families secure compensation following spinal injuries caused by accidents that were not their fault.

What Is a Spinal Injury?

A spinal injury can affect the bones, discs, nerves or spinal cord itself.

These injuries commonly arise from:

• Road traffic accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Bicycle accidents
• Falls from height
• Workplace accidents
• Agricultural accidents
• Public liability accidents
• Construction accidents

While some spinal injuries heal over time, others can lead to long-term disability, chronic pain and significant restrictions on daily life.

Types of Spinal Injury Claims

Our serious injury team regularly assists clients who have suffered:

Spinal Cord Injuries

Damage to the spinal cord can interrupt communication between the brain and body and may result in paralysis.

Paraplegia

Paraplegia involves paralysis affecting the lower body and legs.

Tetraplegia (Quadriplegia)

Tetraplegia affects both the arms and legs and can have a significant impact on independence and mobility.

Fractured Vertebrae

Fractures to the spinal column can cause ongoing pain, reduced movement and neurological symptoms.

Disc and Nerve Injuries

Slipped discs, herniated discs and nerve damage can cause chronic pain and mobility issues.

Cauda Equina Syndrome

This serious condition can arise following trauma and requires urgent medical attention.

Many individuals face:

• Inability to return to work
