Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation focuses on enabling an injured individual to regain control over their body and life. The aim is to enable the injured person to live as independently as possible and to enable them to make their own decisions about what to do, when to do them and how.
It is recognised that early rehabilitative intervention can pay the greatest dividends. As a result, a Code of Best Practice on Rehabilitation, Early Intervention and Medical Treatment was introduced in 1999. The Code was developed jointly by insurers and claimant solicitors.
The aim of the Code is to ensure that an injured person achieves the best and quickest outcome possible in terms of medical, social and psychological recovery. It is designed to promote co-operation between all interested parties in relation to assessing and providing for a person’s rehabilitation needs.
Input into the rehabilitation process can be from various sources some examples being:
- Physiotherapists
- Occupational therapists
- Clinical Psychologists
- Speech and language therapists
- Social Workers
- Case Managers
Our team are committed to the principles of rehabilitation and we will advise you fully about the Code and its use within your particular case. As we operate within a multi disciplinary team, we can also advise you as to the provision of rehabilitation services within your area and ensure that you are accessing all resources that should be available to you.
