Friday 21st May 2021 marks Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Day 2021. This is an event arranged by the Spinal Injuries Association in conjunction with other charities to increase awareness and understanding of spinal cord injuries and their impact, effect and treatment.

Sadly, very many people suffer spinal injuries in Northern Ireland each year. For these people, living and learning to cope with the effects of a spinal injury becomes a devastating reality. Their priority is to obtain the highest standard of treatment and rehabilitation.

Compensation for spinal injuries can be a lifeline to helping rebuild independence and providing options to improve quality of lifestyle.

Personal accident compensation awards for spinal cord injuries are particularly high due to the fact that a spinal cord injury can have such a huge impact on the life of the individual and the lives of their dependants.

At Francis Hanna & Company, we have built a reputation as one of Northern Ireland's leading law firms in this field by recovering millions of pounds' worth of compensation for spinal injured people, while also ensuring our clients obtain justice with complete peace of mind.

We offer a free, no obligation initial consultation where we will discuss the circumstances of your case with you. We will tell you if we believe you could pursue a claim and clearly explain your options to you, enabling you to make an informed choice that best suits you and your needs.
