Sustaining a spinal injury is a life-altering event that necessitates comprehensive legal support to secure appropriate spinal injury claims compensation. Recent analyses have updated the estimated prevalence and incidence of Spinal Claims Injury in the UK.Â
Previously, it was believed that approximately 1,000 individuals sustained new Spinal Cord Injuries annually, with a total of 40,000 people living with the condition. However, more recent data suggests that around 2,500 new cases occur each year, increasing the total number of individuals living with Spinal Claims Injury to approximately 50,000.

The Importance of Early Legal Advice
Taking prompt legal action is vital when dealing with spinal injury claims in the UK. The statutory time limit for personal injury claims is typically three years from the date of the injury or diagnosis. Delaying could jeopardise your ability to pursue compensation, regardless of the merits of your case.
Engaging a solicitor early in the process provides numerous advantages:
- Gathering Evidence: Critical evidence, such as witness statements, accident reports, and medical records, is easier to obtain soon after the incident.
- Medical Consultation: Early medical involvement allows us and our solicitor to work with medical experts to assess the full extent of your injuries and predict long-term care needs.
- Building a Strong Case: A head start gives your legal team the time needed to prepare a robust and compelling argument for maximum compensation.
By initiating the process promptly, you not only comply with legal timeframes but also position yourself for a smoother and more efficient claims experience.
The Role of Rehabilitation and Interim Payments
At National Claims, we go beyond securing compensation; we are deeply committed to prioritising your recovery and enhancing your quality of life throughout the claims process. A key aspect of our support is helping you access essential rehabilitation services and arranging interim payments to cover immediate needs. By addressing both your financial and physical well-being, we ensure you have the resources and care necessary to focus on your recovery without added stress.
- Access to Rehabilitation: Access to Rehabilitation: Solicitors work closely with medical professionals and claims specialists to ensure you receive the necessary therapy, equipment, and support services to aid your recovery. This may include physiotherapy, psychological counselling, or vocational training, all of which can make a significant difference in your rehabilitation journey.
- Importantly, there is no cost to you for these services, and by working with experienced solicitors, you can avoid the long waiting lists often faced when relying on the NHS. This ensures you get the care you need promptly, without the added stress of delays.
- Interim Payments: While final settlements may take time, interim payments are designed to address immediate financial pressures. These payments can cover essential costs, such as:
- Medical treatments and therapies.
- Modifications to your home or vehicle.
- Ongoing living expenses if you are unable to work.
Interim payments alleviate the stress of waiting for a final resolution, enabling you to focus on recovery and adapting to your new circumstances.
