What is a spinal cord injury (SCI)?

Spinal cord injury occurs when the spinal cord is damaged due to trauma or disease, leading to a loss of mobility and sensation. The extent of the injury varies significantly based on the location and severity of the damage to the spine.

Spinal cord injuries can profoundly impact individuals’ lives, often resulting in paralysis and severe dependence on others in the most serious cases.

The option of legal expenses insurance to cover spinal injury claims in Teesside

We would also advise that you check whether you (your spouse or member of your family living at the same address) have Legal Expenses Insurance included with a Medical, Motor, Household Insurance Policy.

If you/they have, then we may be able to use this insurance cover to deal with your claim at no financial cost to you.

Remember, as the policy-holder you have the right to choose your own solicitor, not your insurance provider. We are happy to speak directly to your insurance company to sort this out for you.

We can also advise on other funding options that you may have available to you.

The limitation period (time limit) on spinal injury claims in England

You have three years to initiate legal action for a personal injury or clinical negligence claim. This time limit usually begins from the date of your accident pr negligence, but it can start later if your injuries were not immediately apparent or if you were unaware of the injuries.

If you were injured as a minor, the three-year time limit starts from your 18th birthday.

Regardless of the limitation period, you should seek legal advice as soon as possible.
