When Is It Possible To Claim Compensation For A Spinal Injury?
You can claim compensation for a head injury if the injury results from another party’s negligence or breach of duty. This typically applies to accidents at work, road traffic collisions, or incidents on someone else’s property when the defendant has caused your injury through negligence.
Claims depend on proving liability, which means showing that another person or organisation owed you a duty of care and failed it, causing your injury. The injury must be medically diagnosed and you should report it promptly. Examples include concussion, skull fractures, or brain trauma linked to the accident.
To start a head injury claim, evidence such as medical reports, witness statements, and accident records strengthen your case. Neglect in securing safe premises or careless driving often supports claims for head injury compensation.

Time Limits For Spinal Injuries Compensation Claims
You have three years from the date of the spinal injury to start a spinal injury compensation claim. This time limit applies under the Limitation Act 1980 and is strict unless the injury wasn’t immediately apparent. If the injury or negligence emerges later, the three-year period begins from when you knew or could reasonably have known about it. For children or those lacking mental capacity, the clock starts once they turn 18 or regain capacity.
You must act within these deadlines to preserve your right to claim damages for pain, suffering, loss of earnings, or care costs related to spinal injuries. The process requires gathering evidence, such as medical reports and witness statements, so starting early helps build a stronger claim.

What Types Of Evidence Can Help With Spinal Injury Claims?
Proving your spinal injury claim relies on clear, strong evidence. Medical records from hospitals or your GP provide essential proof of the injury and its impact. Witness statements from people who saw the accident happen help establish fault or negligence. Photographs of the accident scene, your injuries, or unsafe conditions contribute to the claim’s strength.
Expert reports, such as from medical specialists or accident reconstruction professionals, explain the injury’s severity and cause. Financial documents showing lost earnings, care costs, or home adaptations support claims for special damages. Police reports or incident records also clarify liability when applicable.
