Spinal Injuries

Damage to the spinal cord can happen to anyone as a result of a whole range of things including physical activity, a medical accident or a viral infection.. Road traffic and sporting accidents are the cause of most injuries. 

Unfortunately, unlike many other parts of the body which mend more easily, the tissue in the spine does not regenerate. Research into stem cell treatment offers hope for the future but, in the meantime, the injured person can be left with very significant long-term problems, often requiring intensive care.

Our specialist spinal injury lawyers understand the difficulties faced by someone coming to terms with a life-changing accident. After all, their personality, hopes and fears, likes and dislikes, will most likely not have changed.

We also understand that they will not be the only one affected. Such a huge change in their circumstances will impact on their family and friends as well.

We make sure that not only does the injured person receive all the appropriate treatment, but is provided with the means of restoring their independence, including employment if possible, appropriate equipment and adaptations to their environment both now and in the long term.

I just want to express my gratitude to Mr Cross for all he has done.  Personally I would rate the overall service as "excellent".  It has helped me not only financially but also emotionally as I had a hard time coping with the after effects of the accident. Thank you ever so much.
