Every spinal cord injury is unique, and the level of compensation awarded will depend on how the injury has affected your life — both now and in the future. At NJS Law, we work with medical specialists, care experts, and financial advisers to ensure every aspect of your claim is fully considered.
Compensation in brain injury claims is usually calculated under two main categories:
1. General Damages
This covers the pain, suffering, and loss of quality of life caused by the spinal cord injury. The amount depends on the severity of the injury, the level of disability, and the long-term impact on your independence and wellbeing.
2. Special Damages
These are financial losses and future expenses linked to your injury, which may include:
Why Expert Reports Matter
Accurate compensation relies on detailed evidence about your long-term needs. That’s why we instruct leading medical and financial experts to prepare reports, ensuring your claim reflects not only your current situation but also the challenges you may face in the future.
✅ Our goal is to secure the right level of compensation to protect your health, independence, and financial security — for life.

Following a devastating forklift accident at work, where our client suffered a life-changing spinal injury after driving over a water-covered pothole, NJS Law successfully secured a £3.7 million settlement.
The injury left him initially unable to move and required months of treatment in specialist spinal hospitals and rehabilitation centres, with a long and challenging recovery process.
Our serious injury solicitors obtained interim payments to fund accessible housing, mobility equipment, therapy, psychological support, and expert case management, working closely with leading barristers and medical professionals to evidence his lifelong needs and future losses.
