When a person suffers an injury due to another's negligence, financial compensation is not always the complete solution. The individual may suffer life changing physical or psychological injuries that limit their daily activities, whether this is around the home or at work. The individual may require additional support, adaptations or aids which may not always be affordable.
Rehabilitation can come in many forms whether it's psychological treatment by way of counselling or physiotherapy to assist a client's ongoing physical symptoms. A client may also require appropriate property adaptations such as transferring to an automatic car or installing a stair lift.
At Ramsdens Solicitors we understand that the role of a personal injury claim is to allow a client to return to as close to their pre-accident lifestyle as possible. We understand that lengthy waiting times on the NHS or the cost of private treatment does not always mean this would be possible.
Under the guidelines of the Rehabilitation Code 2015, compensators are urged to fund the cost of appropriate rehabilitation so that a claimant recovers to the best of their ability despite any arguments so far as liability are concerned. Unfortunately, compensators do not always cooperate, therefore we work closely with medical experts, specialist case managers and rehabilitation providers to ensure our clients can obtain appropriate rehabilitation to regain their confidence, independence and lifestyle as quickly and smoothly as possible. Using a wealth of experience, we push Defendants to either agree to fund our client's treatment or release interim payments to cover this.
At Ramsdens we have a specialist team who will consider claims for past and future needs arising from Personal Injury, Abuse or Clinical Negligence. Rehabilitation is our key focus.
