Spinal Cord InjuryStewarts have been acting for spinal cord injury clients since the firm was formed in 1989.They deal with all accident types wherever they occur. They appreciate fully that the demands of those with spinal cord injury, differ from those who are less severely injured. Above all that calls for attention to detail. So, for instance: In cases where liability for spinal cord injury compensation is unlikely to be heavily contested they obtain interim payments for accommodation, buying equipment and setting up care regimes. They employ an independent living adviser who is able to help with advice on equipment, vehicles, holidays and so on. So for more information on how we can help you to process your spinal cord injury claim, click on the link below.
Spinal Cord InjurySpinal Injury CompensationAt the outset a spinal cord injury lawyer can only give a broad assessment of spinal injury compensation (commonly Ł1-3 million).However each spinal injury compensation case will be decided according to the severity of the injury and the needs/losses of the individual. Spinal injury compensation damages are awarded for the injury itself and the rest of the claim is made up of past and future losses. Usually future losses account for the largest part of the claim and would include for example,loss of earnings,care costs,accommo- dation costs,the costs of aids and equipment and medical expenses.
