What Is A Spinal Injury Claim?

A spinal injury claim lets you seek compensation if someone else’s negligence caused your spinal injury. You could have grounds to claim after a road collision on the A6, an accident at Manchester airport, a slip in a shopping centre, or medical negligence at a hospital like Manchester Royal Infirmary. Your eligibility depends on proving liability, showing the extent of your injuries, and connecting them to the incident.

Spinal injury compensation claims cover a range of damages, such as:

  • Medical treatment and rehabilitation costs

  • Loss of income and future earnings

  • Mobility aids and equipment

  • Care costs if you need regular support

  • Adaptation of your home or vehicle

  • Pain, suffering, and loss of amenity

Our specialist solicitors handle the claims process from collecting evidence to negotiating with insurers. You’ll receive free legal advice, ongoing support, and regular progress updates. If required, our team arranges medical assessments with trusted professionals in Manchester, ensuring accurate documentation of your condition.

Examples of Accidents That Could Result In A Spinal Injury Claim

Spinal injury claims often arise after specific incidents where negligence is present. You could be entitled to claim compensation if your spinal injury was caused by the fault of another party in any of the following situations:

  • Public Place Accidents: Slipping on unmarked spills in supermarkets or tripping over hazards in venues like Manchester Arndale can cause severe back injuries. Our team will liaise with insurers, secure CCTV footage, and communicate with venue managers to establish liability.

  • Accidents at Work: Falls from height in warehouses or industrial sites, or injuries involving faulty machinery, can lead to spinal trauma. You’ll receive guidance on obtaining health and safety records and workplace accident documentation to strengthen your work accident claim.

  • Medical Negligence: Surgical errors or misdiagnosis at hospitals, such as Manchester Royal Infirmary, sometimes result in spinal complications. You’ll work with solicitors who collaborate with medical experts to review your treatment and identify breaches of duty of care

  • Road Traffic Accidents: Collisions on roads such as the A56 or Princess Parkway may lead to serious spinal injuries, for example, after a car crash or a cyclist being struck by a vehicle. Our personal injury solicitors in Manchester will gather accident reports, medical evidence, and witness statements to demonstrate negligence and assess potential compensation.

Every claim receives expert support, ongoing updates, and access to trusted medical assessments. Ready to begin your spinal injury claim in Manchester? If so, speak to our team today to see what compensation you could secure.

Am I Eligible To Start A Claim?

To qualify for a back injury compensation claim, you usually must prove that:

  • The other party owed you a duty of care (For example, employers, businesses or property owners).

  • There was a breach in that duty (Such as failing to maintain safety rails or not providing proper training).

  • This breach directly caused your spinal injury

Our experienced solicitors will review your circumstances, assess your eligibility, and guide you through gathering evidence such as medical reports, witness statements, and accident documentation. You’ll receive free legal advice, support with medical assessments, and ongoing updates at every stage of your spinal injury compensation claim.

How A Spinal Injury Claim Works

The most important thing to know about the claims process is that, if we take you on as a client, your solicitor and their support team will manage everything on your behalf. Our aim is always to secure as much compensation as possible to cover all of your suffering. Furthermore, we’ll keep you updated throughout the claims process, so you’re never out of the loop.

Evidence To Support Your Claim

Successful spinal injury claims depend on strong evidence showing who was at fault and the impact on your life. Our solicitors will:

  • Collect accident reports from workplaces, public venues, or road traffic incidents on Princess Road or near hospitals like Manchester Royal Infirmary.

  • Request independent medical assessments to confirm the type and severity of your injury such as a spinal cord injury.

  • Collate witness statements and photographic evidence.

  • Access expert reports regarding future care needs and financial losses.

If you believe another party’s negligence caused your injury, your compensation claim could succeed. For tailored guidance on spinal injury claims, contact our team today.

Time Limits For Spinal Injury Claims

You’ll usually have three years from your spinal injury date to make a compensation claim, as outlined in the Limitation Act 1980.

However, if the claimant lacks mental capacity, there is no time limit (unless that capacity returns). Additionally, the time limit for spinal injury claims for children doesn’t start until their 18th birthday. That means a parent or representative can claim on a child’s behalf at any time before then.

Missing the deadline likely ends your right to claim, unless specific criteria apply. Therefore, it’s usually a good idea to seek legal advice quickly to try and ensure that your claim is filed on time.

What Does Compensation In A Spinal Injury Claim Cover?

Compensation in a spinal injury claim covers distinct financial and non-financial losses you have suffered. Our specialist solicitors will present your case in full, ensuring all losses directly related to your spinal injury are included.

You could claim compensation for:

  • Medical expenses: Hospital charges, ongoing rehabilitation, medication and specialist treatments from NHS or private providers.

  • Loss of earnings: Lost income from time off work and reduced future earning capacity.

  • Care costs: Full-time, part-time, or specialist care needed as a result of your injury.

  • Home and vehicle adaptations: Modifications for accessibility, such as ramps, stairlifts, or adapted vehicles.

  • Mobility aids and equipment: Costs for wheelchairs, mobility scooters, or other assistive devices.

  • Pain, suffering and loss of amenity: Compensation for the physical and psychological impact of your injury.
