We're here for you, every step along the way
Although most accidents cause injuries from which the victim will eventually recover, sometimes they can be life changing or even fatal. In such cases, it is vital to have an expert solicitor on your side.
We try to ensure all our clients get access to support to recover from their accident where possible, but this is all the more important where the injuries are severe. We use the Rehabilitation Code to work with the defendant's insurers to get medical, social and financial support arranged as soon as possible.
Serious injuries can leave people unable to work, and sometimes family members have to become their carers and the family loses income from their job too. Financial stress is very common. Alongside that, the injured person may find the mental challenge of coming to terms with their disability, or perhaps the effects of a brain injury, lead them to become changed people. This, and the sheer effort of looking after someone with disabilities can put family relationships under real strain.
However, the right support can go a long way to picking up the pieces. We work with professional case managers who can assess what someone needs, in terms of medical and psychological support, physiotherapy, help with day-to-day activities and any necessary disability aids or changes to accommodation. In the longer term, we often try to help people back to work, either their previous job if that is possible, or getting expert advice on a change of careers.
