The devastation that accompanies the loss of a limb can be enormous for the individual, their family and friends. Whilst the compensation you receive will have a positive impact on how you adjust and on your quality of life, at NewLaw we understand it is not just about money. You will need advice and guidance through this time of adjustment. The right rehabilitation is vital from the start if you are to achieve the best recovery possible. In our experience rehabilitation has a hugely positive impact on the lives of amputees.
Rehabilitation is about medical treatment, counselling, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, prosthetics, equipment, adaptations to your home or buying a new home. Specialist case management from suitably qualified professionals needs to be set up to ensure you get the right support network. As you move on in your recovery it is necessary to assess how the amputation has affected you in your workplace and therefore employment and vocational rehabilitation is also essential.
It is vital that anyone who has suffered an amputation is represented by a specialist solicitor to ensure you receive the best compensation and rehabilitation, understanding your short term and long term needs, desires and the added expense.
Our serious orthopaedic injury team has a wealth of experience in helping amputees – with both legal expertise and an in depth knowledge of the medical and rehabilitation issues necessary to ensure that every angle is covered. In particular, keeping up with technological advances in the development of prosthetic limbs is a vital part of their work – to ensure that our clients get the very best help available.
