Case Studies

The best way to understand how the Rehab4Life Scheme works is to describe how it may apply to a real-world scenario. Because the Rehab4Life scheme is brand new the case study outlined below is a hypothetical situation based on the real life experiences of years of traumatic brain injury legal representation. As Rehab4Life cases come to fruition we look forward to including real life success stories on these pages. 

• Innocent road traffic victim (a 28 year-old self-employed joiner)
• Emergency treatment followed by three weeks in intensive care on a ventilator. Condition improves and is transferred back to general hospital ward.
  
• Worried wife with two young children - family has no savings or critical illness cover.
  
• Victim spends nine weeks in general hospital where the focus is on medical stability. Rehabilitation services are minimal.
• Discharged from hospital and unable to return to work due to memory loss, poor concentration and loss of function in the right side of the body.

Scenario 1 - General Care

• The victim’s wife looks for local head injury rehabilitation services but they are limited to once-a-week day care.
  
• Family income greatly reduced and they are forced to apply for long term social security benefits.
  
• Wife visits local solicitor who takes on the case but there is denial of liability and there are no interim payments to cover rehabilitation or living costs.
  
• Mounting debts and family pressures.
  
• The case is protracted and at the mercy of insurance company.
  
• No end in sight, no proper or any meaningful rehabilitaion for brain injury there is financial insecurity and considerable stress and uncertainty upon the family.
  
• Disability persists and victim is classed as long term unemployed.

Very Bleak outlook

Scenario 2 - The Rehab4Life Scheme

• The victim's wife finds the Rehab4Life website and requests assistance.
  
• Full details are taken by a panel solicitor who fast tracks liability investigations. The case is accepted onto the Rehab4Life scheme - on a conditional fee basis (commonly known as  "no win no fee")
  
• There is insured funding at the beginning to pay for expert rehabilitation, brain injury case management and loss of earnings.
  
• A brain injury case manager is appointed and the victim undergoes intensive multi disciplinary neurological, cognitive and neuropsychological rehabilitation with the assistance of specialist nurses, neuropsychologists, neurophysiotherapists, neurophysiologists, speech and language experts and counsellors, all paid for by the funding
  
• The family are financially stable and the wife and children are involved in the recovery programme.
  
• The victim continues to receive regular home rehabilitation and makes an excellent recovery.
  
• He goes back to work and the family return to as near normal as possible.

Very encouraging outlook
