Spinal cord injury compensation claims
It is estimated that 1,000
people in the UK suffer a spinal cord injury each year. In a matter
of seconds, a spinal injury may irrevocably alter the whole pattern
of a person’s life.
Spinal cord injuries
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is damage caused
to the spinal cord by trauma or disease resulting in motor and
sensory paralysis. The extent of the paralysis depends on where in
the spinal cord the injury occurs. However the paralysis can
usually be categorised in one of two ways: tetraplegia or
paraplegia.
These injuries can affect bladder,
bowel and sexual function as well as causing respiratory
difficulties, pressure sores and significant impairment of
mobility.
