Knee injuries can vary widely in terms of how long they affect people for and how severe they are. For example, you might have multiple injuries from an accident as well as your knee injury, or be dealing with psychological effects such as depression or even Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. We will assess the overall impact of all your injuries so that you can achieve the compensation you deserve.
Knee injuries can affect many aspects of your life, and compensation can help you access aids, adaptations and therapies to help you live the best quality of life possible with your injury. For example:
An automatic car so you do not have to use the clutch when driving;
Therapy such as counselling or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help you cope with the changes and emotional challenges that have been brought about as a result of your knee injury/accident;
Adaptations to your home or different handles and aids to use around the house to help with your mobility;
The cost of training to change career if you can no longer work at your old job due to a permanent disability, particularly if your old industry involved you being on your feet a lot.
Any extra support or care you need around the house e.g. with cleaning and chores;
Travel costs you’ve incurred e.g. for appointments, scans and surgeries;
Support and rehabilitation you might need – both now and in the future.
