Case Study: James’ Journey – A Holistic Approach to Recovery and Justice

When James* was involved in a motorcycle collision, his life was turned upside down. He was left with multiple injuries, including severe lower limb trauma, dental damage, and later, a diagnosis of epilepsy. His recovery was long, complex, and deeply personal. But, with the support of HCC Solicitors, he found a path forward.

Building a Team Around the Individual

From the outset, the team at HCC Solicitors recognised that James needed more than legal representation. He needed a multi-disciplinary rehabilitation team tailored to his unique needs. We coordinated and installed a full support network, including:

A case manager to oversee his care and coordinate services
Physiotherapy and occupational therapy to aid physical recovery
Psychological support to address trauma and emotional wellbeing
Dental treatment for teeth lost in the impact
Neurology to assess and manage his epilepsy
Urology to investigate and treat other complex symptoms

Despite the opposing legal team disputing the cause of James’ neurological symptoms, we secured interim payments to fully fund all of this treatment so there would not be any delay in James’ recovery.

Navigating Medical Complexity

The opposing legal team argued that James’ epilepsy was unrelated to the motorcycle incident. So, we brought in a panel of neurological experts to analyse the intricate medical evidence. Their findings were critical in understanding the link between James’ symptoms, particularly the “panic attacks” he began experiencing, and what were later confirmed to be auras, a form of seizure activity.

Meanwhile, James underwent multiple surgeries and spent a significant period as an inpatient. His recovery at home was supported with care services, cleaning assistance, and a taxi account to maintain his independence.

A Settlement That Respected the Individual

Despite the ongoing disputes, we negotiated a successful settlement that excluded any deductions for past rehabilitation or benefits related to the epilepsy. This ensured James received the full compensation he deserved, without compromise.

A Story of Resilience and Advocacy

James’ case was a testament to the power of a holistic, person-centred approach. By building a strong team around him, and refusing to let complex medical disputes derail the process, our team helped James reclaim his life, and his future.
