Spinal cord injuries can happen in a number of ways including:
- Failure to properly immobilise someone with a fractured neck
- Inadequate handling techniques of patients with fractures of the spine
- Spinal orthopaedic/neuro-surgery, including decompressive operations and tumour resection, leading to major complications
- Injury to the blood supply to the spinal cord
- Cauda equina syndrome caused by compression of the nerves in the spinal cord

Some of our cases
- Our client made complaints of severe back pain, constipation and reduced mobility. These complaints were ignored by his GP, nursing staff and A&E staff when he went to hospital. His Cauda Equina Syndrome was misdiagnosed for 10 days before treatment. However, irreversible damage had been caused and he requires lifelong care.
