Our guide to property purchase and adaptation following a serious injury

PotterReesDolan Solicitors is proud to have supported for almost 20 years individuals with serious injuries and disabilities and their families and loved ones. As a result of our experiences, we have a real insight into how compensation claims work and how they can make a huge difference to our clients’ lives.

Perhaps understandably, many people see only the large headline figures of compensation awarded to individuals without realising what the money is to be used for or how hard everyone involved had to fight to get it. Some people have even suggested that compensation is a ‘lottery win’. We know that this is not the case.

We are dedicated to helping our clients recover the quality of life they deserve. But we are also equally dedicated to raising awareness of how it feels to go through this experience – the demands on those involved, the reasons individuals deserve every penny of the compensation they are awarded, and the challenges they face in every area of their personal lives.

In this guide, we wanted to focus specifically on the experience of buying and making adaptations to your home following a serious injury - a huge, stressful and often unseen undertaking - and to offer practical information and advice for those of you who are in a similar situation.

We have expert insight from specialist disability architects, advice for new carers, examples of adaptations you may want to consider, case studies, and much more.

  • Thank you. Excellent help and I got an outcome I didn't expect, so a big thank you to Peter Renshaw.

    Lisa Hathaway

  • TRUSTWORTHY FIRM I found Potter Rees Dolan through google search, and while I didn’t have much hope, it all turned out to believe there are still good people who help others. Peter Renshaw assisted me with my appeal. If he wasn’t there I probably never came this far and just lived my difficult life. However with all his professionalism and caring manner he encouraged me to appeal the decision, patiently explained the procedure and advised me all through the way. The appeal was allowed by the judge and this could not happened if Peter Renshaw did not support me with my case. I highly recommend PRD and specifically Peter Renshaw and his team.

    Sahar via Yell

  • Firstly, I would like to extend my gratitude and thanks to you and your team for the support you have given me over the past years to achieve this unexpected outcome. It has been such an emotionally draining process that, were it not for that support, I may have abandoned it... Once again, many thanks to all at Potter Rees Dolan. I couldn't have been in safer hands.

    GM, Manchester

  • I am completely blown away after the success your input has done for me. Now, instead of life not being worth living, I can take time to make a life with a difference. I will forever be grateful to you! I am very grateful to your firm and especially Mr. Renshaw for his simple instructions, patience and understanding. Having him as an advocate was everything and more than I could have ask for. Many thanks for what you do.

    Wendy Williams, Shropshire

  • One aspect which I value highly is that a promise to call will always be honoured. This may seem a small point but it is absolutely critical to peace of mind for the client. Communications, written and verbal, are always timeous, appropriate and well explained. As I develop below, each one of the team is invariably compassionate, understanding and empathic.This is of great importance to clinical negligence clients, who may well be facing life changing events, and not for the better. The Practice has a substantial and impressive array of medico legal contacts whose expertise they can call upon.  We have been impressed with their thorough work and pleased with their achievements so far in dealing with our claim.
