Spinal Injury Claims

Common Causes of Spinal Injury

Surgeons specialising in this very complex area tend to be either neuro-surgeons or orthopaedic surgeons who are typically involved in procedures such as spinal fusion (often as a result of osteo-arthritis), laminectomy (trapped nerve release) and microdiscectomy (removal of a slipped disc).

Generally, surgeons perform successful surgery and the patient receives an excellent standard of aftercare. However, there are occasions where things can and do go wrong. These medical mistakes can have a devastating impact on the life of the patient and their loved ones.

Here are the main ways medical negligence can cause a spinal injury:

  • Failure to diagnose
  • Delay in treatment
  • Failure to provide treatment
  • Failure to carry out surgery with reasonable skill and care
  • Negligently performed spinal injections
  • Not providing accurate information to patients, or not involving them properly in the decision-making process
