Funding Housing Adaptations from Compensation

A spinal injury lawyer will work with their clients to provide adaptations to their housing to ensure that, wherever possible, they are able to complete the every day tasks that they undertook before becoming injured.

If a legal firm is contacted early enough post injury, it is possible for them to make these adaptations whilst the client is undergoing treatment at the spinal centre. This ensures that the process of transfer from the centre to home is managed to the exact needs of the client.

The spinal injury legal firm will complete a detailed assessment on behalf of the client to ensure that their every need is catered for. This includes the widening of doorways, the installation of specially designed bathrooms and the repositioning of light switches.

The installation of bespoke kitchens with low level worktops and bespoke layouts of key appliances is also undertaken.

There are circumstances in which a client’s current home is not suitable for adaptation due to its type or location. In these cases, the lawyer often works with their client and their loved ones to facilitate the purchase of a new home that will meet their needs and allow levels of independence to be regained.
