Support for head and spinal injury claims
Serious injuries such as head, brain and spinal injuries or amputation can have life-changing consequences for those involved. Whether the injury is a result of a road traffic accident or an accident at work, a person suffering from the accident will require help and support to recover and rebuild their life.
A serious injury can leave the victim unable to lead a normal life again, and in some cases involves the need for rehabilitation support, permanent care and long-term financial support.
