Spinal Injury Compensation Claims

Spinal injuries can leave a person incapacitated and have long lasting or permanent consequences on the person and their family.

If you have suffered a spinal injury due to someone else’s actions, its possible you may have a claim for compensation. Types of spinal injury claims can include bulging discs in the spine, repetitive strain injuries, whiplash spinal injuries, and other spinal cord injuries (including Cauda Equina Syndome). Shine Lawyers can advise you on your rights and can see if you have a claim in an obligation free first consultation.

Even if the spinal injury resulted from your actions at work, on the roads, or out in a public place – depending on the facts of your situation, you may still have rights to pursue a spinal injuries compensation claim.

Shine Lawyers are expert spinal injury lawyers that can help you find out if you have a compensation claim, and bring it forward on your behalf should you wish. We have a proven track record when it comes to getting spinal injury compensation and all our lawyers operate on a No Win No Fee basis, which means we won't charge you anything to bring forward a spinal injury compensation claim unless we win your case at the end of the process.

Compensation is typically paid from the insurance company of the person, business, or entity at fault rather than the specific person responsible.

The person or persons responsible for your injury typically don't pay out of their own pocket - it's all done through their insurance company.

How much compensation you are entitled to really depends on the facts of your particular case. Serious spinal injuries can resolve successfully for large sums of money well into six figures. Sometimes they can even resolve in seven figures. It really depends on the facts of your case. Shine Lawyers can give you a good indication once they know the specifics of your situation.

As part of our service we provide an obligation free first consultation, which means you can get a good idea of your rights and avenues to compensation upfront.

If you bring about a spinal injury compensation claim, what you can claim for really depends on the facts of your particular case.

Typically, compensation can be obtained for:

• Home modifications
• Psychological and psychiatric support
• The cost of special equipment (insurance and maintenance costs included)
• Paid nursing, respite or support worker care
• Costs for maintaining your rehabilitation e.g. hoists, gym equipment
• Medical supplies and pharmaceutical expenses
• Special vehicle or modification costs to your vehicle
• Costs associated with managing your compensation

A spinal injury compensation claim can be quite complex in nature and take many months to resolve. It really just depends on the facts of your particular situation as to how long a claim may take.

Yes - there are time limits and restrictions that apply to spinal injury compensation claims. These can vary from state to state so we recommend you seek legal advice as soon as possible so as to ensure that your rights are not compromised due to a missed time limit.

It is possible to legally represent yourself when making a compensation claim. Doing so successfully will likely require a thorough understanding of the law, your legal rights and entitlements, and a commitment to actively pursue the case to move it forward.
