| Injury | Guideline award |
|---|---|
| Neck injury associated with incomplete paraplegia or resulting in permanent spastic quadriparesis or where the injured person, despite wearing a collar 24 hours a day for a period of years, still has little or no movement in the neck and suffers severe headaches which have proved intractable | In the region of £126,550 |
| Injuries, usually involving serious fractures or damage to discs in the cervical spine, which give rise to disabilities which fall short of those above but which are of considerable severity; for example, permanent damage to the brachial plexus or substantial loss of movement in the neck and loss of function in one or more limbs | £56,100 to £111,690 |
| Injuries causing fractures or dislocations or severe damage to soft tissues and/or ruptured tendons that lead to chronic conditions and significant disability of a permanent nature | £38,800 to £47,760 |
| Injury | Guideline award |
|---|---|
| Injuries such as fractures or dislocations which cause severe immediate symptoms and which may necessitate spinal fusion. This bracket will also include chronic conditions, usually involving referred symptoms to other parts of the anatomy or serious soft tissue injuries to the neck and back combined | £21,320 to £32,840 |
| Cases involving soft tissue or wrenching-type injury and disc lesion of the more severe type resulting in cervical spondylosis, serious limitation of movement, permanent or recurring pain, stiffness or discomfort, and the possible need for further surgery or increased vulnerability to further trauma | £11,730 to £21,320 |
| Injuries which may have accelerated and/ or ex- acerbated a preexisting condition over a shorter period of time, usually less than five years | £6,730 to £11,730 |
| Injury | Guideline award |
|---|---|
| Where a full recovery takes place within a period of about one to two years. This bracket will also apply to short-term acceleration and/or exacerbation injuries, usually between one and two years | £3,710 to £6,730 |
| Where a full recovery takes place between three months and a year. This bracket will also apply to very short-term acceleration and/or exacerbation injuries, usually less than one year | £2,090 to £3,710 |
| Where a full recovery is made within three months | Up to £2,090 |
This bracket includes minor soft tissue injuries. Whilst the duration of symptoms will always be important, several factors may justify an award in either a higher or lower bracket.
