Central cord syndrome is a common spinal cord injury that happens after damage to the centre of the spinal cord.
A spinal cord injury can be devastating for an individual. However, it is often possible to claim compensation after spinal cord injuries, including central cord syndrome.
What is central cord syndrome?
Central cord syndrome usually results in loss of arm movement. Below the waist, recovery starts in the lower leg and works its way upwards.
Central cord syndrome is generally associated with a favourable recovery rate, but the process can be long and many patients do not recover fully.
Often, spinal cord injuries like central cord syndrome can be caused by the negligence of others. If this is the case in your central cord syndrome spinal cord injury, you could be eligible to file for clinical negligence compensation.
Spinal cord clinical negligence cases are complex, so it's important to consult a clinical negligence solicitor to understand more about your central cord syndrome case.
