Causes of brain and spinal injuries 

Brain and spinal injuries can occur as a result of a range of accidents, including road traffic accidents, accidents at work, and slips, trips, and falls. Sports-related injuries and medical negligence can also cause these types of injuries.

Some examples of types of injuries that cause brain or spinal injuries are: 

  • Birth injuries 

  • Sports accidents including contact sports, climbing accidents and awkward falls from height

  • Faulty goods 

  • Medical negligence including surgical errors, misdiagnosis

  • Serious Road Traffic Accidents particularly high velocity collisions

  • Accidents at school 

  • Work accidents including falls from height, falling loads, and industrial accidents

What kind of compensation can I get for a brain and spinal injury?

Compensation for personal injury claims can be broken down into two types of damages: general and special damages.

General Damages
General damages are awarded to compensate for pain, suffering and loss of amenity. The amount of compensation will be determined by the severity of the injury, estimated recovery time and rehabilitation needed. Additionally, the amount awarded may be influenced by the need for further medical treatment or lifelong care.

Special Damages
On the other hand, special damages are awarded to cover specific expenses related to the injury. This category includes past expenses and future expenses. This can include medical fees, physiotherapy, loss of earnings, travel expenses to hospital, and damage to personal items. In more serious cases, special damages may also cover the costs of ongoing care, loss of future salary and pension. In the most serious of cases there can be significant claims for new accommodation and specialist adaptions.

At Nash & Co Solicitors, we understand that every personal injury case is unique, and we work hard to ensure our clients receive the compensation they deserve. Our team of experienced personal injury solicitors will work with you to gather evidence, build a strong case, and negotiate a settlement that covers all your needs.

Interim Payments

In some cases, we can request an interim payment for you which can help to reduce financial worries caused by the accident. It can also be used to pay for private treatment.  An interim payment is made before the conclusion of your claim.
