A slipped disc occurs predominantly in the lumbar region of the back between spinal vertebrae and can be very painful. Compensation runs parallel to the level of severity of an injury; the impact the injury has had on your ability to work, and enjoy life and whether or not you have had to pay for any medical expenses will also be considered. The guide below is aimed to give you an indication of how much compensation for a slipped disc you could be awarded. The settlement in any personal injury case is reliant upon the degree of the injury and what impact there has been on your ability to carry on with your everyday life.
Slipped Disc Compensation
- Disc lesions or fractures which cause extreme pain, impaired mobility and sexual function or psychological damage £30,910 up to £55,590
- A prolapsed intervertebral disc with the need for surgery or a damaged intervertebral disc with nerve root irritation which has resulted in reduced mobility £22,130 – £30,910
- A prolapsed or herniated disc that requires laminectomy or has become a recurring condition £9,970 – £22,130
- Minor disc prolapses £1,950 up to £9,970
Most slipped discs will heal within a matter of weeks but some can be very debilitating and may require surgery. Your injury or accident claim will be stronger if you can show accident or police reports relating to your injury
Slipped Disc Compensation Amounts
With the exception of children, there is a three-year time limit on making a personal injury claim. This time limit begins from the date that the accident initially occurred.
Before a child turns eighteen years old it is possible to make a claim on their behalf at any time. The law stipulates that after the age of eighteen they only have three years in which to make a claim. If your child sustained an injury as a minor (under the age of 18), the claim must be submitted within 3 years of their 18th birthday.
