Irwin Mitchell's Commitment To Making A Difference
Irwin Mitchell's first commitment is to you, and to achieving the best outcome for your claim. We'll ensure that you are well cared for throughout your head injury claim, and are committed to securing significant compensation for those entitled to claim for head and brain injury.
We also have a wider commitment - to seek improvements to the legal protection and levels of compensation for those who have suffered head and brain injuries.
Our ground-breaking support for clients after serious injury has been recognised many times, most recently in securing the claimant’s solicitors Rehabilitation First Award in 2008. We also work closely with brain injury case managers (who can organise therapy and support), rehab providers and therapists across the UK.
We have long been leaders in developing new and innovative services for our head and brain injury clients, as well as opening up new opportunities for our clients after a head injury.
We strive to help those who for whatever reason cannot claim as well as those that can. We are sponsors and fundraisers for several leading brain injury charities and support groups. Nationally, several of our staff work voluntarily to assist local support groups that work with those with head injury and their families, to give something to the community.
It is important to always recognise the huge commitment and sacrifice of family members and carers who help individuals with brain injury. We have always done that, and seek to promote education opportunities for carers as well as arranging for specialist funded support (wherever possible) to share the task of caring a little more.
