How Long Serious Injury Claims Take
Most serious injury claims take 18–36 months, but rehabilitation begins much earlier.
Why Rehabilitation Comes First
Rehabilitation aims to stabilise symptoms, improve independence, reduce long‑term complications, support return to work or education, improve quality of life and reduce future costs.
Why Choosing the Right Solicitor Matters
Serious injury claims require specialist medical knowledge, rehabilitation expertise, experience with complex evidence, strong negotiation skills, understanding of long‑term needs and clear communication.
