To help meet your immediate and ongoing needs, we’ll push for an admission of responsibility from whoever caused your injury as soon as possible, but there are timelines laid down in the law that we have to stick to.
Once we have that admission, we can ask for interim payments throughout the lifetime of your claim, to make sure you can get the help and support you need. We have a great team of specialist spinal cord injury lawyers who can help you through the legal process.

Our Clients’ stories:
Cyclist secured £1.8m to aid recovery:
We helped a cyclist with a spinal Cord injury get £1.8 million to help her recovery. She was hit by a car while on her bike and was left partially paralysed. We helped her access intensive rehabilitation and secured interim payment of compensation so she could get specialist treatment she urgently needed.
Her settlement has allowed her and her husband to move into a single-storey property, with specialist aids and equipment along with continuing rehabilitation. Read more about how we helped here.
Delayed cauda equina diagnosis:
Our client with ongoing spinal problems was told by her GP that she could be developing cauda equina but she wasn’t seen by the hospital for an MRI scan for two months. This delay meant she had mobility, bladder and bowel issues. We helped her access specialist aids, equipment, services and treatment and new ground-floor accommodation because she had problems getting up stairs. Read more about how we helped.
Paralysed motorcyclist buys trike with compensation:
Our client was paralysed from the waist down after an accident with a car. He was partially responsible for the accident, but still got £1.5 million compensation, which allowed him to adapt his home and also buy himself a trike so he could continue to ride nationally and internationally with his biker group.
