If you're facing the tough aftermath of a spinal injury, you might be wondering how to get your life back on track. That's where we come in. We're experts in spinal injury claims, and we genuinely care about helping you get the support you need.
Making a spinal injury claim can seem daunting, but we'll explain each step so you know exactly what's going on.
While we can't provide an estimate for how much compensation you might receive, we can definitely help you understand what types of costs and losses could be included in your spinal injury compensation claim. Whether it's medical expenses or adjustments to your home, we've got you covered.
Our commitment to you doesn't end with securing compensation. We're interested in your long-term wellbeing and can connect you with healthcare professionals and support services, helping you adapt to life post-injury.
There are many ways that spinal injuries can happen. If your injuries are a result of an accident or fall, it may be that a person or organisation was fully or partly responsible for your injuries. In this case, you may be able to claim compensation from them.
If, on the other hand, your spinal injury came about as a result of medical or hospital treatment, our medical negligence team can advise whether or not you can claim compensation.
Navigating the legal landscape after suffering a spinal injury can be overwhelming. At Switalskis, our dedicated spinal injury solicitors are here to guide you through the process, offering clear and straightforward advice at every turn. We are skilled in achieving substantial spinal injury compensation, offering you the best chance at a brighter future.
The first step in making your spinal injury claim is to arrange an initial consultation with one of our spinal injury lawyers. During this meeting, we'll evaluate the strength of your case, discuss the nature of the incident that led to your spinal injury and gather essential details.
The next step is about maximising your recovery. We recognise that your life has been turned upside down and we can use the legal claim to help you access the best possible private rehabilitation and treatment available. This may not always be possible, particularly if fault for the accident is denied - in those cases, we would help guide you to access appropriate support through statutory or charitable organisations.
Our expert spinal injury solicitors will thoroughly investigate, gathering all necessary medical evidence, witness accounts and other supporting documentation. This meticulous approach helps to build a strong case for securing your spinal injury compensation.
Identifying the responsible party is important in any spinal injury claim. Whether it's an employer, medical practitioner or another person, our spinal injury lawyers will rigorously establish liability.
We employ forensic accountants and medical experts to calculate not just immediate losses, but also future care costs, adjustments to your home and loss of earnings, giving you a realistic estimate of your spinal injury compensation amounts.
Once we’ve built your case, our spinal injury solicitors will enter into negotiations with the opposing side. We’re skilled in achieving out-of-court settlements but are prepared to go to trial if necessary to make sure you receive fair spinal cord injury compensation amounts.
Upon the successful conclusion of your spinal injury claim, you will be awarded your spinal injury compensation. Your compensation can help cover medical expenses, rehabilitation, loss of income, and adapting your living environment.
One of the most pressing questions clients have when pursuing a spinal injury claim is how much spinal injury compensation they can expect to receive. It's a question that understandably carries a lot of weight, given the life-changing impact a spinal injury can have.
Several factors come into play when determining the amount of compensation you may be entitled to. These include:
Collecting the right evidence is a vital part of making a successful spinal injury claim. As dedicated spinal injury solicitors, Switalskis can guide you through the complexities of building a strong case. Here are some key types of evidence that will strengthen your claim:
Obtain comprehensive medical records documenting the extent and severity of your spinal injury. This will likely include hospital reports, X-rays, scans, and any treatment or medication prescribed. Your medical records serve as the backbone of your claim, corroborating your spinal injury and its implications.
If possible, collect statements from anyone who witnessed the accident or incident that caused your spinal injury. Their testimony can prove invaluable in establishing liability. Not only that, witness statements from loved ones and those who know you can provide valuable insight into how the accident affected you and how you have changed since your injury.
In many cases, Switalskis will consult with medical experts to provide professional opinions on your spinal injury. Their reports can outline the expected course of your injury, ongoing care needs, and any future complications, as these insights add weight to your claim.
If your injury involved a criminal act, traffic accident, or other incidents requiring police involvement, secure a copy of the police report. It could be key information to proving negligence or fault. Our team will seek to obtain this on your behalf.
Visual evidence of the accident scene, as well as the injury itself, can provide compelling support for your claim. Make sure to take photographs or videos as soon as possible to maintain the integrity of this evidence.
If your spinal injury has led to time off work, or even job loss, your employment records can validate claims for lost earnings and future loss of income.
Maintain a record of all expenses related to your injury, including medical bills, travel expenses to medical appointments, and costs for any home adaptations. This will form the basis for claiming out-of-pocket expenses.
Keep a personal diary detailing your day-to-day life following the spinal injury. This can help substantiate claims for emotional suffering and reduced quality of life, which are often important aspects of spinal injury compensation.
Switalskis can offer you tailored advice on what specific evidence will most benefit your individual claim. As spinal injury law specialists, we aim to make sure that every piece of evidence is meticulously compiled, enabling us to champion your rights effectively.

Understanding the financial aspects of pursuing a spinal injury claim can be daunting. At Switalskis, we offer a range of flexible funding options to alleviate your concerns and make sure you can secure the spinal injury compensation you're entitled to. Below, we break down the various funding options available to you:
In most cases, claims need to be made within three years from when you either suffered the injuries, or from when you first discovered them. In the case of spinal injuries, it is likely that you will be aware of your injuries immediately. If you’re claiming on behalf of a child, you have three years from their 18th birthday to make a claim.
We strongly recommend that you get advice as early as possible and we can advise on the best time to start the claims process based on your circumstances.
