After your head injury compensation claim is won
Protecting your means-tested benefits
Your financial circumstances change when you receive personal injury compensation. This means that your means tested benefits may be at risk. You can however protect your entitlement to your benefits, and benefit from your compensation too by setting up a personal injury trust. Our specialist personal injury solicitors will be happy to advise you if this applies.
The costs process
The legal costs associated with your personal injury claim include your solicitor's fees, barrister's fees, experts' fees, court fees and fees charged for obtaining records for your case.
When you win your personal injury claim it is usual for the Defendant to pay most if not all of your legal costs. However deciding how much the Defendant must pay can be a lengthy process. If we are unable to agree how much they must pay the court will decide. If the court has to decide the process can take in excess of 6 months. We have a specialist team who work independently of our personal injury solicitors to ensure the costs process is dealt with speedily and to your advantage.
Investment advice
Investing your personal injury compensation requires thought and often specialist advice. We can make a personal recommendation to an appropriate adviser on request.
Rehabilitation
In many claims for personal injury compensation, your current medical situation, and what the future holds for you, may be improved by appropriate medical treatment, including surgery, physiotherapy, counselling or care being given at the earliest opportunity, rather than waiting until the claim has been settled. We have arrangements with providers of medical and other rehabilitation services to get you back on your feet as soon as possible.
