Serious injury cases often require more than a financial settlement. Frequently, clients have suffered traumatic and life-altering injuries and while their futures need to be secured; their ongoing recovery – and what may be required to achieve it – must be considered simultaneously.
Sintons believe that rehab is key to helping clients rebuild their lives and our lawyers constantly strive to put rehabilitation and support into place before a claim has been completed.
A recent case handled by Sintons involved a client who suffered life-changing injuries in the workplace.
Partner Phil Davison, Head of the General Personal Injury team at Sintons handled the case and ensured substantial interim payments were secured in order to ensure rehabilitation was fully addressed whilst the compensation claim was in progress.
Timing is key
Thanks to timely access, the client was able to receive specialist treatment, physiotherapy and make use of advanced prosthetic technology. The client’s ability to start rehabilitation as soon as possible was crucial and meant his mobility, confidence and independence progressed swiftly.
Phil says, “By working closely with rehabilitation professionals, medical experts and prosthetic specialists, we ensured that rehabilitation remained at the heart of the claim. Securing the funding necessary to access specialist treatment and equipment has enabled our client to achieve an exceptional level of recovery, independence and quality of life following a truly life-changing injury.”
The client’s rehabilitation needs will continue to evolve as time goes on. By beginning specialist rehabilitation at an early stage, the client has been able to regain an active lifestyle, travel abroad, return to some of the sporting activities he enjoyed before the accident and also work again.
Phil remarks, “Our client has made outstanding progress and was able to return to employment, representing another significant milestone in his recovery journey. While challenges remain, the progress achieved to date demonstrates what can be possible when injured individuals are given access to the right support at the right time.”
