Learning that you are paralysed following an accident can be overwhelming, both for you and your loved ones.
The physical and psychological impact of paralysis can affect all areas of a person’s life, including their career, relationships, social life, hobbies, and mental health.
Here at Lanyon Bowdler, we specialise in helping people who have suffered paralysis through a no-fault accident to make Paralysis Compensation Claims, access rehabilitative treatment, and regain their independence after their accident.
We’ll be open and honest with you in everything we do. With our team on your side, you’ll have the best legal advice, support and most accurate information at all times. We’ll handle your case with sensitivity, understanding and clarity, and tailor our services to your individual needs and wishes. In making sure your needs are met, we are fully engaged in everything we do for you.
If you or a loved one have been paralysed after an accident which occurred due to somebody else’s negligence, please get in touch to find out how we can help.
Paralysis is defined as the loss of the ability to move and feel any sensations in a part of the body. Paralysis may be temporary or permanent, partial or complete.
As well as loss of movement in the limbs, vital bodily functions such as breathing, blood flow, organs, and glands can also be affected.
Paralysis occurs as a result of an injury to the central or peripheral nervous systems, affecting the brain, spinal cord, or nerves, and interrupting or severing the connection between the brain and the affected muscles.
Messages can’t be passed to the muscles from the brain, and so they lose their function, for example if the nerves that pass signals to the leg muscles are affected, the individual will be unable to walk properly or at all.
Here at Lanyon Bowdler, our team of lawyers have a great deal of experience in handling claims for those who have been affected by all types of paralysis after a no-fault accident.
We adopt a holistic approach to personal injury claims, which means that not only do we facilitate the legal side of your claim, we are also able to assist with any employment issues you may be facing, coordinate rehabilitative support and home adaptations as necessary for you, and signpost you to charities and organisations that offer support within your community.
We pride ourselves on our empathic approach, taking the time to get to know you and your family so that we can truly understand your needs and deliver a service which is tailored to you. We are specialists in catastrophic injuries, and are affiliated with Headway – the brain injury association, so if your paralysis was due to a brain injury we can offer additional support and guidance.
When a person is involved in an accident that leads to paralysis, their life is undoubtedly changed forever. Even in the less serious cases where the paralysis is partial or temporary, the person often still has to take extended time off work, or give up their job altogether. This obviously has a huge financial impact on the individual and their family. In addition to this, it is likely that their home will need to be adapted, or they may need to move into more suitable accommodation depending on the extent of their condition.
As well as the physical implications of being paralysed, the individual may also suffer adverse psychological effects after their accident as they adapt to their sudden loss of independence. Some people can find it extremely dehumanising to become reliant on other people for even the simplest of daily tasks, and they may find themselves feeling depressed or suffering with flashbacks from the accident.
Whilst there is no cure for paralysis, many individuals find that rehabilitation therapy makes a big difference to their quality of life. With compensation, and the guidance of our empathic personal injury solicitors you could access care and support including:
Making a claim for compensation after a paralysis injury can help to provide financial security to the individual and their family, as well as helping to pay for medical treatment and therapies, and the necessary home and vehicle adaptations to improve their quality of life. Pursuing legal action against the individual or organisation responsible for the accident can also help to ensure that measures are put into place to prevent the same thing happening again in the future.
We understand that an accident that leads to injuries of this nature will have a huge financial impact. We will try to arrange interim payments throughout your case, ensuring you don’t face financial hardship whilst awaiting your final compensation award. We also offer our services on a no win no fee basis which means you won’t be charged for an unsuccessful claim, and there are no fees to pay upfront. Our people are here to become your team, and we can work together to achieve the best possible outcome.
Paralysis of any kind will lead to a number of issues for the individual, however there are certain types of paralysis that may allow for a more independent outlook than others. The different types of paralysis that can occur include the following:
If you have suffered any type of paralysis after being involved in an accident which was not your fault, you may be entitled to make a claim for paralysis compensation. Please speak to our friendly and professional personal injury solicitors who will be happy to help you begin your claim.
Paralysis can occur for many reasons, including stroke, or a head injury, but some of the most common accidents which give rise to a paralysis compensation claim include:
Being injured in any type of accident could potentially result in an injury that affects the brain, spinal cord, or nerves, or it could cause a stroke, or even a tumour on the brain or spine, all of which will ultimately lead to some degree of paralysis.
If you have been involved in any of the accidents listed, or any other accident which wasn’t your fault, you may be able to claim compensation. The specialist team at Lanyon Bowdler are waiting to speak to you and assess your eligibility to claim.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, your employer has a duty of care to ensure you are able to carry out your role safely within the workplace. If your employer breaches their duty of care, and this results in an accident occurring, in which you sustain an injury that leads to paralysis, you are entitled to take legal action against them.
A breach in their duty of care could be something such as failing to provide you with adequate training, failing to provide appropriate personal protective equipment, or failing to carry out routine maintenance on equipment. There are also specific rules which your employer must adhere to if employees are required to work from height.
If you are unsure as to whether or not you have reasonable grounds for making a claim against your employer, please get in touch and our team of personal injury solicitors will be happy to discuss your situation and offer advice on how best to proceed.
Phillip Roberts handled my claim in a professional and knowledgable way and I would like to thank him very much for all the work he has done for me.
After my experience using LB 15 years ago and being very impressed I had no hesitation in using them again on a totally different matter and I was not disappointed. Excellent service once again with a successful secondary victim claim.
First Class experience from start to finish with this company.
One hundred percent happy with my claim and the outcome my solicitor was brilliant all through my case.
First Class Service
I was injured in a terrible accident whilst working on a farm, I was left with extensive injuries to my arm which impacted all aspects of my life including my ability to go back to work. Once I had instructed Lanyon Bowdler they instructed medical experts who were able to recommend rehabilitation for me which was arranged, and this meant that I could go back to work and start living independently again. They secured compensation of £45,000 and gave me all the advice and support I needed to accept the offer made.
After a horrible road traffic accident I was left with minimal physical injuries but a significant psychological injury which affected all aspects of my life including my ability to go back to work. Lanyon Bowdler handled my claim whilst also securing crucial rehabilitation for me. They secured £85,000 in compensation for me just after a year after my accident.
After a serious motorbike accident in which my Dad sustained significant head and life changing injuries I instructed Lanyon Bowdler to assist me with making a claim on his behalf. As part of his claim they ensured that he received an appropriate care package to support him in living independently and access to appropriate rehabilitation. They secured for him a settlement of £3.1m together with PPOs for his care and case management for the rest of his life which means that all of his needs can be met.
Dependable, thoughtful and sound advice. Professional, personable and accessible. A stalwart presence with good advice throughout – thank you.

It is a pleasure to act as a case manager for clients represented by the personal injury team at Lanyon Bowdler Solicitors. Lanyon Bowdler PI team are proactive and truly client centred. They understand the clients they represent and work tirelessly to achieve the best they can for them. Through collaborative working we have been able to achieve the best outcomes possible for our clients.
As a case manager I work closely with litigation teams to ensure our clients get the expertise, support and care they need to bring them back to as close to their life pre-injury as possible. This is very often not an easy journey, and balancing the desires of the client to live their best life with collating and presenting the facts of how that life is altered, can be very challenging. Having worked alongside Lanyon Bowdler’s team for many years, I have noted it is always easier to strike this balance, when they are involved.
Having worked with a succession of personal injury specialists at Lanyon Bowdler over the years, I have seen at first hand the top-flight legal expertise that they bring to every case and the commitment to obtaining the absolutely best result for every client. Equally importantly, I am struck by the compassion, empathy and humanity with which every client is treated. They go above and beyond to ensure their clients receive the very best representation.
The team at Lanyon Bowdler show an exceptional knowledge and understanding of their client’s needs, not just in terms of the claim that they lead, but also the emotional and personal experiences that they will have on that journey.
Lanyon Bowdler provide seamless ongoing emotional support, information and guidance to their clients over what may be many years of a PI claim. This significantly helps mitigate the “stress” of a claim for their clients, and in my medicolegal experience puts them way ahead of other legal firms.
Contacted Lanyon Bowdler six months after an injury at work. They offered me several of their services, including no win no fee which I ended up choosing. The solicitor was extremely helpful, was always keeping me updated when there was news and answered promptly when asked for any updates or when I asked any questions. I was very happy with the final settlement and the advice I received proved to be the best for my case. I felt like the extra bit of care was extended to give me a good idea of the options I had to choose from which really helped to inform any decision.
From my initial approach to the final positive outcome I felt my solicitor was expending all his energy to win the case. I was kept informed throughout and was given straightforward advice on how to proceed. The end result was an acceptable outcome and the pay-out was prompt.
Very friendly and quick to respond, highly recommend for anyone looking for legal advice.
