Spinal injuries
Spinal injury can be truly life changing. Legal action will never restore your health but it can provide financial assistance and support through rehabilitation to help you live with a spinal injury. Early rehabilitation, assistance with equipment and access to expert medical help are all issues on which you need solid, practical advice as quickly as possible and with the minimum of fuss.
Recommended by the Spinal Injuries Association, Leigh Day & Co's expert spinal injury lawyers are specialists in acting for those individuals who have suffered spinal injuries. Our solicitors recognise that the most important issue is getting you back to as normal a life as possible, as quickly as possible. Lawyers use their skill and expertise to press forward with getting interim payments from third party insurers to cover your medical and rehabilitation expenses. However, the legal process is only a stepping stone to ensure your future financial security. It is important to maximise financial recovery to ensure that, as far as possible, the future is provided for.
Our expertise in spinal injury claims means that you receive the best advice on planning for the future. Our use of medical and other experts ensures that every aspect of your future is considered. We have in-house accountants and nursing staff as well as an excellent network of external advisors on issues such as rehabiliitation, employment, the provision of equipment and aids and life expectancy. A number of our solicitors are also medically qualified.
We can help you to look beyond the accident and the lawsuit. When the proceedings finish, we can provide access to case managers to ensure that the predictions we have made in the settlement are adhered to and give you independent financial advise to help you maximise your income after the lawyers have gone.
