How common are spinal injuries during surgery?
Spinal injuries during surgery, though not extremely common, can have life-altering consequences when they do occur. These injuries may result from surgical errors, anaesthetic mistakes, or post-operative complications, leaving patients with chronic pain, reduced mobility, or even paralysis. While many spinal surgeries are performed successfully, negligence can turn a routine procedure into a traumatic experience. If you believe your injury was caused by substandard care, you may have grounds for a compensation claim, and we can help you explore your options.
Medical negligence claims involving spinal injuries often arise from avoidable mistakes, such as surgical errors where a surgeon operates on the wrong part of the spine, applies excessive force, or damages nerves during the procedure. Anaesthetic errors, including incorrect administration leading to nerve damage, can also be a cause. Poor post-operative care, such as failing to monitor for complications like infections or blood clots, may worsen spinal injuries. Additionally, misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of spinal conditions before surgery can lead to inappropriate treatment. If any of these sound familiar, you may have a strong case for compensation, and we can investigate what went wrong on your behalf.
Starting a claim with us is straightforward. The first step is to contact our team for a free, no-obligation consultation, where we will listen to your story and assess whether you have a valid case. If we believe negligence caused your injury, we will gather all necessary medical records and consult independent experts to support your claim. Our solicitors will handle all the legal complexities, keeping you informed at every stage. You won’t have to worry about upfront costs, as we work on a no-win, no-fee basis, meaning you only pay if your claim succeeds. Our priority is to make the process as stress-free as possible for you while fighting for the justice you deserve.
Compensation for a spinal injury can cover various losses, including medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and any necessary home adaptations if your mobility is affected. You may also claim for lost earnings if your injury prevents you from working, as well as future loss of income if your ability to work long-term is impacted. Pain, suffering, and emotional distress are also considered, ensuring you receive financial recognition for the physical and psychological toll of your injury. In severe cases, where lifelong care is needed, compensation can include the cost of professional caregiving. We will work tirelessly to ensure your claim reflects the full extent of your losses, helping you rebuild your life with financial security.
The duration of a spinal injury claim varies depending on the complexity of the case and whether the defendant admits liability. Typically, claims can take between two to four years to resolve, though some cases, particularly those involving severe injuries or disputed facts, may take much longer. While we understand that this may feel like a lengthy process, our goal is to secure the maximum compensation for you, and we will always strive to move your case forward as efficiently as possible without compromising on the outcome.
