Personal Injury Compensation Claim
Spine injuries are among the most serious personal physical damage and can mean permanent disabilities, a lifetime of medical complications and paralysis. If you have suffered a serious neck or back injury in an accident caused by someone else's negligence, you may have a claim for compensation. Our team of personal injury solicitors specialises in helping victims of serious and catastrophic injuries bring compensation claims. If you instruct us to act on your behalf you will receive expert legal representation from a specialist solicitor who will vigorously pursue the maximum compensation available to you. We take spinal cord injury compensation claims on a no win no fee basis. You pay absolutely nothing if your case is unsuccessful. Our solicitors only get paid if you get paid. There are no upfront costs and you do not have to fund your spinal cord injury compensation claim or pay for medical reports.
Successful Treatment
In most cases doctors are unable to make an exact prognosis in the first few days following the accident. It is difficult to immediately assess the full extent of the injury. No two cases are alike, and each person's path to possible recovery is different.
The patients with the best chances of successful rehabilitation are those who take an active role in the process. Spinal cord injury (SCI) patients are encouraged to maintain an active lifestyle, and get involved with a local support group. Patients should also learn as much as they can about their injury and understand their treatment options. Many spinal cord injury patients can go on to lead a productive and active life.
The Recovery Process
Only a small portion of spinal cord injury victims will make a full recovery. Some patients, however, go on to enjoy the return of some of their functions. In general, those with incomplete injuries experience more extensive recovery than those with complete injuries. Signs of recovery typically begin to occur within one week to six months of the injury. It is generally agreed that there are unlikely to be further improvements after two years.
Unfortunately, there is no cure for spinal cord injuries at the present time. Most of our organs and body parts have they ability to repair themselves if injured. Our central nervous system, however, cannot. There is little that doctors can do to repair the damaged nerves. Until there is a cure, doctors will continue to focus on minimising the extent of the injury through means such as reducing inflammation of the spinal cord and limiting cell death.
