Spinal injury claims & compensation in Ireland

In Ireland, on average, one person every week sustains a spinal cord injury (SCI), which can result from medical negligence during treatment or surgery, a road traffic accident or sporting injuries.

Spinal injuries can have a significant impact not only on the affected individual but also on their loved ones, who must deal with the physical and emotional aftermath.

If you or a loved one is living with a spinal injury, our team of catastrophic injury and clinical negligence solicitors is here to provide you with support, guidance and advice during this challenging time.

What is a spinal injury?

Spinal cord injury is damage to the spinal cord by trauma or disease resulting in a loss of mobility and feeling.  The extent of the injury can vary widely depending on the location of the damage to the spine and its severity.

Spinal Cord Injuries can have devastating effects on people’s lives, leaving the injured person paralysed and dependent on others in the more severe cases. These injuries can also affect bladder control, sexual functioning and fertility, impairment of mobility, pressure sores, control of blood pressure and body temperature and it can lead to respiratory problems.

Spinal cord injuries resulting from medical negligence

Injury to the spinal cord in the medical negligence context, can be caused by infection entering the spinal canal, injury sustained during spinal surgery and compression of the spine such as that caused by disc prolapse. Unfortunately, injury to the spinal cord during the course of medical treatment and surgery is sometimes unavoidable.  However, in many cases it can be prevented.

Many conditions which can lead to spinal cord injuries if left undetected and untreated can be successfully treated if diagnosed at the appropriate time. In circumstances where the damage caused to the spine could have been prevented had an appropriate standard of medical care been provided, you may have a claim for compensation.

Spinal cord injuries resulting from an accident

Injury to the spinal cord in the context of personal injury litigation, can arise from various incidents, including road traffic accidents, accidents at work and sporting accidents. While some spinal injuries may be unavoidable, many can be prevented.

You are entitled to pursue compensation if you have suffered a spinal injury due to someone else’s negligence.
