Nerve Injury Claims

If you’ve experienced a nerve injury or nerve injuries as a result of an accident that wasn’t your fault or due to medical negligence, you have a right to claim for compensation.
Making a nerve injury claim means securing compensation for the pain, disability and suffering you’re experiencing because of someone else’s negligence. While nerve injuries and therefore nerve injury claims can happen for a number of reasons, the most important thing is helping to ease your current pain – and compensation can go some way to make up for your distress as well as remove the financial strain you may be under.

Types of Nerve Injuries

There are several ways nerve injuries can occur because of accidents or clinical negligence.

A nerve injury can arise during surgery if a surgeon fails to deliver on his duty of care. For example, by failing to identify a nerve during knee replacement surgery, hernia surgery, hip replacement surgery or surgery to remove a tumour – and a nerve or nerves are damaged or severed because of this.
Alternatively, nerve damage can occur from the use of needles in injections, blood tests or administration of pain relief. For example, the main median and radial nerve in the arm may be damaged during a blood test or spinal cord nerves injured because of a wrongly placed epidural needle.

Compensation For Nerve Injury

Symptoms of nerve injuries vary widely, and may include a loss of sensation or feeling, heightened pain, or a loss of mobility in the affected limb or limbs. Sufferers can be left with disabilities as a result, which is why nerve injury claims are so important.
Depending on how severe your nerve injury is in terms of pain and disability, you can claim for compensation for the suffering caused by someone else’s negligence. In addition to physical and emotional pain, you may be able to claim for medical costs, specialist equipment, transport costs, modifications made to your home because of the injury, and any loss of earnings.
