The amount of compensation you can expect to receive from a spinal injury claim depends on the individual’s case. When calculating your compensation, your lawyer will consider the costs of:

You have three years from the date of your injury to make a claim for compensation. There are limited exceptions to the rule, so it’s best to contact Unite Legal Services as soon as possible.
