Head Injury Rehabilitation and Support

If you have sustained a head injury, rehabilitation will be an important part of your recovery and the rehabilitation process needs to begin as early as possible. For severe brain injuries, you may have to relearn basic activities such as speech and patients that suffer permanent brain damage will need to learn strategies to cope with their injuries in the long term.

Rehabilitation from a brain injury takes many forms, dependent on the nature of the disability and its severity. Your head injury care could include input from the following specialists:

  • Social Workers
  • Clinical Psychologists
  • Doctors and Nurses
  • Educational Tutors
  • Dieticians
  • Speech and Language Therapists
  • Occupational Therapists
  • Physiotherapists

The availability of specialist brain injury rehabilitation units across the UK is variable and, unfortunately, many people are not able to access the appropriate services for their disability. At Pannone LLP, our personal injury solicitors take an active role in working with both your doctors and also with the private sector in providing information about possible extra resources that may well be available through litigation, in particular through the Rehabilitation Protocol, and we will advise you on how to access these brain injury rehabilitation services.

Because accessing the right brain injury services for the rehabilitation process is so vital to making a meaningful recovery, Pannone follow the Rehabilitation Protocol which offers guidance on negotiating with the defendant in your head injury compensation case in order to come to an agreement on the best course of brain injury rehab treatment, and to help you access this treatment as soon as possible, without having to wait for the resolution of your compensation claim. This can help reduce the overall ongoing costs for specialist care you may have as a result of your head injury and can lessen your pain and suffering by helping you to make a more meaningful recovery more quickly.

Call a Pannone personal injury solicitor on Freephone 0800 0384 384 for a free consultation about making a head injury compensation claim, and how we can use the Rehabilitation Protocol to assist your recovery.
