Vehicle Assessments – Tailored to Your Client
Every client has different needs, which is why we take the time to understand their individual circumstances.
We can arrange a vehicle demonstration and assessment at a location and time convenient for your client, including at their home, anywhere in the UK.
Working alongside occupational therapists, case managers, solicitors and expert witnesses, we consider wheelchair dimensions, access requirements, seating positions, driving needs and the practicalities of everyday travel.
We also take into account the needs of family members and carers, along with environmental factors such as parking, access to the property and local road conditions.
Following the assessment, we can provide a comprehensive written report, including vehicle recommendations, specifications and detailed costings, helping professionals make informed decisions and complete their casework more efficiently.
Let Us Do the Work
We understand the time pressures faced by professionals involved in rehabilitation, personal injury and clinical negligence cases.
Our knowledgeable office team is ready to respond quickly, provide expert guidance and manage the vehicle assessment and supply process on your behalf.
