It is important that anyone with a head injury seeks the best possible legal representation from the outset to ensure that their full needs are addressed at an early stage and on an ongoing basis. Not all solicitors have expertise in handling claims of this nature. Head injury claims are complex and require a great amount of ongoing support and more importantly access to top professionals who can assist in rehabilitation and advice.
One of the main objectives for someone who has been injured is social rehabilitation which means that that person is helped to regain the social skills that they have lost as a result of the injury. The key here is development at a pace which suits the patient. Rehabilitation focuses on:
- Avoiding isolation and deterioration and accessing community activities
- Re-learning lost skills including re-education, improving cognitive functions (for example memory, thought process) and overcoming social problems (for example aggression, inhibition and speech problems)
- Learning coping and compensation strategies
- Learning how to recognise and modify behaviour
- Receiving information and understand the condition
- Improving self-confidence and self esteem
Head Injury UK are specialists in representing those who are unfortunate enough to have sustained a head injury to pursue rehabilitation, justice and compensation.
Our specialist solicitors are experienced and experts in this field. By instructing Head Injury UK you will enjoy the following:
- You have a one to one relationship with the solicitor representing you and your solicitor is on hand at all times to assist you.
- Your solicitor is familiar with the Rehabilitation Code and works with the insurance company to ensure your rehabilitation needs are met privately. This is particularly important in view of limitations on rehabilitation in the NHS.
- Your solicitor is not just familiar with the legal process but also the medical process. Your solicitor will need to be aware of what you are going through and what treatment is available.
- Your solicitor is familiar with handling complex claims and making provision for future financial costs and concerns.
- You solicitor makes the most of securing interim payments to help you through difficult times rather than waiting until the end of the legal process to secure you money.
