UK personal injury claims and rehabilitation reports

Someone who suffers a serious personal injury in the UK may find that the costs of their rehabilitation could be included in a compensation claim. There are several companies that exist to provide expert reports to a court where such a claim is being heard, and it is therefore worth looking at the work they would do.

Rehabilitation is, of course, the process of getting back to a state that is as close as possible to the way an accident injury victim would have lived had the incident not occurred. The existence of the Rehabilitation Code, a document drawn up in consultation with both injury solicitors and insurance representatives, shows that this is a topic that is encouraged by both sides in a compensation claim, which means that the use of a rehabilitation expert is likely in serious cases.

This does not, however, mean that both sides will necessarily agree with an expert assessment, and a sufferer may find that two experts are called in to make reports on the case. Fortunately, any no win, no fee solicitor worth his or her salt is likely to handle the complications this can cause.

What the expert - or experts - will report on includes:

  • the cost of the care needed as a result of the accident injury received;
  • the equipment needed for rehabilitation; and
  • the estimated increase in cost for transport and housing needs.

Often, following an expert report, both sides will be able to reach a settlement without the need to take the claim to court.
