Case Management After a Serious Injury
What Is a Case Manager?
A case manager is a rehabilitation professional who coordinates every part of your recovery after a serious injury. They act as the central point of contact for you, your family, therapists, doctors, and the insurer — making sure everything runs smoothly and nothing is missed.
A good case manager can make a huge difference to your recovery, independence and long‑term outcome.

Who Chooses the Case Manager?
In most serious injury claims, the insurer will fund case management through the Rehabilitation Code or Serious Injury Guide. However, you have the right to be involved in choosing the case manager.
I make sure you have the right case manager for you
The right case manager can transform your recovery.
How Case Management Fits Into Your Claim
Case management is not about the legal process — it’s about your rehabilitation. But it works alongside your claim in important ways:
- it provides evidence of your needs
- it supports interim payment requests
- it helps demonstrate the impact of your injury
- it ensures rehabilitation is properly funded
- it keeps your recovery on track while the legal case progresses
Strong case management often leads to better outcomes both medically and legally.
Case Management for Different Injuries
Case management is used across all serious injury cases, including:
- spinal cord injuries
- brain injuries
- amputations
- complex orthopaedic injuries
- polytrauma
- severe psychological trauma
Each injury type requires a different approach — and a specialist case manager who understands the specific challenges.
