Slater and Gordon launches campaign on life after serious injury

Slater and Gordon has launched a serious injury campaign focused on life after injury and access to early legal and rehabilitation support.

The ‘Life Continues, Differently’ campaign, launched on 6 October, features people who have adapted to life following serious injury.

It aims to raise awareness of support that may be available after serious injury, including rehabilitation, specialist treatment and practical assistance.

Slater and Gordon says early legal intervention can help arrange rehabilitation, specialist treatment, case management, care packages, equipment and home adaptations before a personal injury claim concludes.

The law firm also works with insurers to obtain interim payments and rehabilitation funding.

Campaign videos feature clients who have adapted to life after serious injuries and achieved things they had previously feared might no longer be possible.

Tracey Benson, head of serious injury, South at Slater and Gordon, said: “One of the biggest misconceptions about serious injury claims is that they’re only about compensation.

“In reality, some of the most important support happens in the days, weeks and months after an injury, when early intervention can help people access rehabilitation, specialist treatment and practical assistance that can significantly influence their recovery and future independence.

“I’ve seen families thrown into crisis overnight after brain injuries, spinal injuries and amputations. I’ve also seen the extraordinary resilience of people who go on to achieve things they once thought were impossible.

“The stories at the heart of this campaign show what’s possible when people are given the right support at the right time.

“Serious injury may change a person’s life forever, but it should never define what they can go on to achieve.”

Slater and Gordon says it has supported more than 90,000 injured people over more than 30 years.

Its serious injury team and in-house rehabilitation coordinators work with rehabilitation providers, medical experts, charities and support organisations to arrange services for clients.

The campaign will run across video content, public relations, social media, expert commentary and an online hub featuring client experiences.

It is intended to help injured people and their families understand the legal, medical and rehabilitation support that may be available after serious injury.
