Spinal Injury Claims Solicitors | Penningtons Manches Cooper

Neurology and neurosurgery are concerned with disorders affecting the nervous system, including the spinal cord. The nervous system is highly complex and any treatment has the potential to affect aspects of physiological function.

Treatment carries with it a certain degree of risk but where treatment results in damage over and above that expected, there may be grounds for a claim.

Examples of claims investigated include those relating to:

missed or delayed diagnosis
mistakes in neurological treatment
delayed treatment, including Cauda Equina Syndrome
neurosurgical errors
general surgical errors, such as during orthopaedic or spinal operations

The consequences can be catastrophic, affecting many aspects of life, including motor function and sensory perception. Care needs may be very significant and loss of employment can lead to significant financial strain.

Penningtons Manches Cooper is dedicated to providing not only exemplary legal advice but also to achieving the best outcome from a legal claim, including considering proper ongoing medical care and rehabilitation. Involving us as early as possible can assist in securing appropriate and effective rehabilitation.
