Rehabilitation is designed to help you, your loved one and your family move forward. We strive to ensure, where possible, there is a continuity of care throughout your brain injury claim. With this, we can help maximise recovery, maintain independence and help rebuild the lives affected.
It can involve neuropsychologists, physiotherapists, speech and language therapists and occupational therapists – and it usually takes one of the following forms:
In-patient: Intensive specialist rehabilitation that requires a period of hospital stay.
Out-patient: If the injured person can return home after being discharged from hospital, treatment can be provided as an out-patient at local hospitals or rehabilitation centres.
Community: Therapists or outreach workers coming to your home to provide support.
Many people who turn to us require rehabilitation in a specialist unit. We can arrange this if we are instructed while the injured person is in a hospital. We can also obtain interim funding from insurers to cover the costs. It is all part of our service to you as part of your brain injury claim.
We consider the Rehabilitation Code of Practice at the outset in every case. This means that we aim to assess your immediate needs as a priority by instructing an experienced brain injury case manager. He or she will meet with you, often whilst you are still in hospital and provide recommendations for rehabilitation and support to maximise your recovery. Where liability is admitted we will ask the insurers of the person responsible for the accident to fund the initial assessment and ongoing recommendations either directly or through interim payments.
Even if liability is in dispute, we may still be able to arrange an immediate needs assessment. Once liability is admitted, we are then in a position to implement the recommendations sooner rather than later.
