For the seventh time in the last eight years, Irwin
Mitchell have been recognised at the Rehabilitation
First Awards, for our work on behalf of those people
who have suffered a serious injury.
The market-leading team was recognised because of
their work in helping a client who was left with both
his arms and legs paralyzed as the result of a head on
collision with another car that had strayed into his lane,
in Eckington, September 2013. Due to his complicated
injuries, Ivan Harris, from South Yorkshire, required high
levels of care from a large team of specialists.

A team of serious injury specialists led by Rachael
Aram, Partner at Irwin Mitchell acted on Ivan’s
behalf and worked with insurers to come up with an
innovative and creative solution to his unique needs.
When the case settled, Ivan, aged 77, was able to
move into a specifically adapted home and received
damages which he will continue to receive for the rest
of his life, to cover the annual costs of his care and
therapy.
The judges of the Rehabilitation First Awards
commented on the Irwin Mitchell submission as
being an innovative financial package to achieve
a compassionate solution for a complicated set
of circumstances. They felt this case study clearly
demonstrated Irwin Mitchell’s creative thinking and
problem solving.
