Making a claim after an accident is not always just about obtaining compensation for the injuries and financial losses caused by the negligence of another party. The courts recognise how important it is for the victims of accidents to receive early medical treatment to help with their rehabilitation and recovery from their injuries.
The law encourages insurance companies to arrange and pay for any necessary medical treatment as soon as possible. This means that injured claimants are given access to private medical treatment that will help them recover from their injuries as soon as the claims process begins. This often includes physiotherapy to help speed up the recovery of victims of road accidents that have suffered from whiplash and other muscular and soft tissue injuries common in this type of accident.
The rehabilitation that can be provided to a claimant can include any medical treatment that will speed up their recovery, help them deal with their injuries, or make them more comfortable during their recovery.
The cost of this treatment is paid for by the party responsible for the accident, or their insurance company, and as soon as it is needed. The injured party is given access to medical procedures that they could not otherwise be able to afford on their own, and at no cost to themselves.
We regularly deal with cases where people have suffered injuries as a result of an accident who will benefit greatly from medical treatment to help with their rehabilitation. Rather than suffering unnecessarily until the claim is settled and compensation is paid, you are entitled to private medical treatment that will help you to recover from your injuries much more quickly than if they used the NHS or waited until their compensation is paid.
The cost of this medical treatment is provided free of charge to the claimant who is still entitled to receive compensation for their injury and any other financial losses caused by the accident. We recognise that financial compensation on its own cannot always provide the victim of an injury with the resolution they need.
By ensuring that our clients receive early intervention, medical treatment or rehabilitation when this is needed, we help them recover more quickly and get back to normal as soon as possible.
