Law firm JMW Solicitors has partnered with the Spinal Injuries Association, to increase support available to survivors of spinal cord injury (SCI).
Covering the North West and South West, the partnership will see JMW deliver legal assistance to people with SCI, supporting them to facilitate their rehabilitation and secure the best outcome legally.
The law firm can support with an array of aspects affecting SCI survivors, including making a claim, assisting in the return to work, Powers of Attorney and welfare benefits signposting.
The partnership will add further to the interventions offered by the SIA to survivors nationally, supporting them to live a fulfilled live. The SIA continues to build a network of people, organisations and services which could offer relevant help, enabling it to quickly connect people with SCI to relevant sources of support.
The relationship also includes the direct involvement of Cathy Leech, head of the SCI team at JMW, who brings over two decades of experience working with SIA.
Cathy has won SIA awards for both fundraising and excellence in legal care.
“This strategic partnership underscores JMW Solicitors’ commitment to provide unparalleled legal support and guidance to individuals with spinal cord injuries across the UK.
“Leveraging our extensive expertise in personal injury law and years of experience, we seek to maximise both legal outcomes and rehabilitation for clients, to enable them and their families to have the best possible future.
“We are also delighted to have Jamie Rhind as our client support manager to support our clients practically – Jamie’s personal experience of spinal cord injury alongside his previous role as head of services at SIA brings a wealth of knowledge of the charity and the spinal cord injury world to JMW to benefit all our clients who need support coming to terms with their injury and navigating through the early stages.
“Over the past 20 years, the industry has seen the services for SCI people evolve with the hard work of SIA.
“Our collaboration is more critical than ever and we are dedicated to using our expertise to make this partnership a valuable asset for SIA members.”
