Yes, it absolutely should. This is a critical part of getting the proper compensation, especially for serious injuries. Your claim needs to include:
- Immediate needs: Hospital stays, medications, physiotherapy – anything you need right away.
- Future care: Potential surgeries, ongoing therapy, home adaptations, or even long-term nursing care.
- Assistive equipment: Wheelchairs, prosthetics, and any specialist aids you'll need to manage daily life.
- Specialist assessments: We work with medical experts to properly assess your future needs – insurers can't argue with this.
How "it happens" can help:
- We think ahead: It's not just about the immediate crisis; we ensure your settlement secures your long-term wellbeing.
- We get the right evidence: Thorough medical reports are essential to justify the costs to insurers.
- We negotiate expertly: Sometimes, insurers offer lump sums. We can advise if a 'periodical payment order' is better for you, which provides a guaranteed income for life.
