I’ve had to install a stairlift and widen some doorways since my accident. Is this something I can include in my compensation claim?

13.05.2024

Definitely. Home adaptations can be a major expense when they're necessary due to a disability caused by someone else's fault. Your claim should cover costs like:

  • Structural changes: Ramps, shower room, stairlifts, or even larger-scale modifications.
  • Fixtures and fittings: Grab rails, specialist bath equipment, adapted kitchen units.
  • Future needs: If your condition might worsen, projected costs for further adaptations should be included.
  • Professional fees: Surveyor or occupational therapist assessments to justify the need for the work.

How "it happens" can help:

  • We assess the full picture: It's about more than the cost of a ramp; it's about restoring your independence at home.
  • We get expert evidence: Occupational therapists are key to proving the impact of your injuries and the solutions needed.
  • We negotiate for the best outcome: To secure funding for the adaptations that truly improve your quality of life.
