If you have developed CRPS following an accident at work or road traffic collision, one of your main concerns is likely to be accessing the treatment and rehabilitation you need as quickly as possible. Many people are surprised to learn that a personal injury claim can often help facilitate this process.
A common misconception is that a legal claim is only about securing compensation at the end of the case. In reality, an important objective is to help injured individuals access the support and rehabilitation they need to maximise their recovery and quality of life.
Where liability is admitted, it may be possible to secure funding for private rehabilitation long before a claim concludes. This can include specialist pain management, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, psychological support and other treatments recommended by medical experts. Accessing private treatment can help avoid lengthy NHS waiting lists and ensure that rehabilitation begins at the earliest opportunity, which can be particularly important for those living with CRPS.
In some cases, insurers may agree to fund treatment directly or provide interim payments to cover rehabilitation costs while the claim is ongoing. This can make a significant difference to a person’s recovery, independence and ability to manage their symptoms.
At Brian Barr Solicitors, our specialist team works closely with medical experts and rehabilitation providers to ensure clients receive the support they need throughout the claims process. If you have developed CRPS due to an accident that was not your fault, and are unsure what you can claim, Brian Barr Solicitors are here to help. We often have cases transferred to us because of our speciality in this area and will fight to get you the compensation you deserve.
