Brain Injury Compensation - Questions To Ask Part 2

1. As part of the head injury claims process, do you help with rehabilitation?

YES. As specialist head injury solicitors, we take a proactive approach to rehabilitation to try and assist clients to rebuild their lives after a serious accident. We assist with a full rehabilitation programme, ensuring clients get the ongoing support required to help improve their quality of life.

The funding of rehabilitative care can be financed through the provision of an interim payment or directly via the Defendant's insurers.

2. Do you use case managers and do you have access to medical and care expertise?

As brain injury compensation solicitors, we will usually seek to appoint a case manager to assist with assessing, planning and coordinating treatment, rehabilitation and the provision of aids or equipment as required.

We work with trusted experts who can provide specialized care, including case managers, physiotherapists, psychologists, occupational therapists, specialist consultants, social services, care associations, and rehabilitation centres to name but a few.

3. What support services do you also offer?

As part of the case management assessment and care plan, Freeclaim Solicitors will work with case managers, medical experts and care experts to organise additional support as needed, including:

• Accommodation needs and housing adaptations
• Medical treatment and therapies
• Vehicle adaptations and mobility aids
• Specialist wheelchairs
• Communication aids using the latest technology
• Specialist care services or other equipment as required
• Counselling and emotional support
• Return to work help and advice

4. I hear on advertising about no win no fee and 100% compensation. What does this mean and if I am successful, will the compensation pay for long term care needs?

No win no fee is an industry term which means if you win your brain injury claim you will not have to pay any legal or other fees from your compensation - you keep 100%.

We have a double guarantee to reassure clients further -

a) you do not have to pay a penny, win or lose.

b) you keep your compensation in full - there are no deductions.

To ensure your long term care needs are covered financially, you should always use a specialist head injury claims solicitor, who has the experience to assess longer term care costs. Our brain injury compensation lawyers fight for the highest levels of compensation and ensure the compensation award is managed financially to provide for long term care needs and peace of mind.

5. What types of head and brain injury claims have you helped with?

Our head and brain injury claims lawyers have many years experience helping clients and their families with complex compensation claims. Here are a few of the types of serious accident claims we have dealt with:

Our client was initially advised by previous solicitors that there were insufficient chances of succession in a brain injury compensation claim. However, our head injury compensation solicitors secured £2,900,000 in damages on behalf of our client who suffered brain damage after a serious motorbike accident. Even though there were complex issues with regards to liability, loss of earnings and care costs, we secured interim payments of £350,000 which enabled our client to employ a care team and purchase his own accommodation to help him live a more independent life. 

In another case involving a pedestrian road accident, Freeclaim Solicitors reached successful settlement based on a total valuation of £1,334, 000 for our client who suffered a serious head injury, leaving him unable to return to work. A brain injury case manager was appointed to implement a comprehensive care plan. It is worthy to note that our brain injury claims lawyers successfully increased the compensation offer during complex negotiations with the Defendants.

£1,800,000 compensation was secured on behalf of our client who suffered a serious brain injury after she was knocked down in a road accident. The brain injury compensation had helped her improve her quality of life with her husband and family in adapted accommodation suitable for her needs and with the ongoing support of a case manager and care team.
