At HorseSolicitor we know that early proactive steps are crucial to aid the road to recovery for both our clients and their loved ones.

Whilst we value the NHS, we work with other brain injury professionals to ensure that the public and private sectors are working effectively in tandem to provide the best possible treatment and outcome for our clients.

We can arrange case management, private care and, where appropriate, support in returning to work. We can also arrange more tangible assistance such as adapted accommodation and transport where needed.

While is sounds like a legal term, case management is the assistance provided to an injured person (usually by a highly trained former nurse or Occupational Therapist) to enable them to manage the interaction of all of the services they will come into contact with after their injury.

This will generally involve coordinating medical treatment, arranging any care package needed, and generally dealing with rehabilitation, social services, employers, and anything else needed to guide the injured person through the process.

Case management is particularly important following a brain injury where the injured person’s cognitive function is impaired.

We vigorously pursue interim payments in order to ease the financial burden from which our clients are suffering.  We also obtain funding from defendant insurance companies under the Rehabilitation Code.

Brain injury claims can lead to very large compensation settlements.  This is because their impact can unfortunately be the most life changing.  They can also lead to the most varied settlements depending on the outcome of the injury.

What sort of care package will you need, if any?  What sort of accommodation will you need and what sort of vehicle will you need for transport? What about private medical costs now and in the future?  What assistance can be provided to ensure quality of life is maintained?

Calculating the value of your claim is an extremely complex process but we’ll instruct experts in a variety of disciplines to work out what needs to be included in your claim.

Our brain and head injury equine solicitors will fully explore every element of potential loss to ensure that we can fully provision for your, or your loved one’s future.

When choosing a solicitor, it’s important to be aware that the damages you end up with is dependent on establishing liability and agreeing the value of the claim. This means that if your head injury was caused in a horse riding accident, then it’s just as important that your solicitor is a specialist in horse accident claims as that they are a specialist in head injury claims.  At HorseSolicitor we’re both.

Possibly.  In cases where the client is in receipt of means tested benefits, these can be affected if the client has a large sum of money in the bank.  This can be easily prevented by setting up a personal injury trust.

When cases settle, or where we have obtained large interim payments, we assist our clients with setting up their personal injury trusts which means that the compensation they get can be used for what it was meant for.

While it will always be the injured person’s claim, where a person lacks mental capacity (the ability to manage their own affairs) and therefore to provide instructions to their lawyers, a claim can be brought on their behalf.

The sooner the better.  The earlier we are involved the more we can do.
