What Is a Spinal Injury Claim?
A spinal injury claim is the legal process of seeking compensation if you or a loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury due to an accident, medical negligence, or unsafe conditions. Spinal injuries can range from fractured vertebrae to permanent spinal cord damage, leading to partial or complete paralysis (paraplegia or tetraplegia), loss of independence, and the need for lifelong care and adaptations.
If you or your family have been affected by a spinal injury within the last three years, LITKRAFT can help you claim compensation and access the support you need for medical treatment, rehabilitation, and rebuilding your life.

You may be entitled to bring a spinal injury claim if you are:
• A patient who suffered spinal damage due to medical negligence, surgical error, or delayed diagnosis
• An employee injured at work because of unsafe practices, falls, or faulty equipment
• An individual who sustained a spinal injury in a road traffic accident, sporting accident, fall, or assault

I am very impressed with the service provided. Thanks to LITKRAFT assistant I was able to prove my innocence. Third party was denying the damages suffered, but we never gave up, resulting in a settlement of compensation that I was really happy with.
If you had an accident – immediately call LITKRAFT. They are true professionals and it really shows, as they can tell you straight away if you have a case. When I had another accident I emailed all details to them and they called me back within 20 min.
Great company, fantastic staff who are just a phone call away to help. They were very patient in explaining every document received from solicitors or doctors. When we first started the claims process, the other party tried to deny liability, but LITKRAFT solicitor fought my case in court and won it. I was delighted with the process and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from LITKRAFT.
