Neck & Spine Injury

Neck and spine injuries

If you have been involved in an accident that has resulted in a neck or spine injury, then Bonnar & Company can help you claim the compensation you deserve on a ‘No Win - No Fee’ basis.

General Damages is the term used in Scotland to describe the amount that the courts think is reasonable for the pain and suffering of the accident victim. The value of these awards varies depending on the circumstances and severity of each individual case. However, the following typical settlement figures will give you an idea of what you can expect as compensation for your injury.

Please note, that when calculating the total value of your claim the courts will also consider any past and future wage loss, property damage costs and services costs which can include the provision of domestic help and on-going medical care. You need expert legal advice to ensure that these additional costs are properly identified, quantified and included in your claim.

Spinal injuries:

Spinal injuries resulting in paralysis have a devastating emotional and psychological effect on the victim’s life and a drastic impact on the immediate family members. At Bonnar & Company we understand that representing the victim of a spinal cord injury requires not only the highest professional legal standards but also a genuine and unerring dedication to the needs and difficulties being experienced by the victim and their family at this most distressing time.

Settlement figures can often exceed £1,000,000 depending upon the severity of the injury, the loss of future earnings, the requirement for life-long medical care, the costs of adapting the victim’s home and the need for help with transportation and disability aids.   

Bonnar & Company will pursue spinal injury claims under Legal Aid where the victim qualifies for support.
