Spinal Injury

Outer Temple Chambers is very highly regarded for its long-standing specialist expertise in bringing or defending spinal injury claims and its members are regularly instructed by the top-ranked Claimant and Defendant solicitors firms specialising in the field. 

The circumstances which can give rise to such claims extend right across the healthcare service, sadly often resulting in catastrophic injuries including paralysis or even death. The compensation awards are typically substantial and members of Chambers are totally committed to obtaining the best results for their clients. 

Claims which members of Chambers are regularly concerned with include cases of delayed or missed diagnosis of medical conditions (for example cauda equina syndrome or spinal epidural abscess); failure to obtain informed consent for surgery or treatment; and inadequately performed surgery resulting in spinal cord damage, whether due to failings in pre-operative imaging, surgical error or insufficient intra-operative monitoring.
