Putting the client at the centre
Our specialist brain injury solicitors understand that each client has different needs and we adopt a holistic approach to address those needs.
We appreciate the importance of arranging fast and effective rehabilitation when a client has suffered a brain injury and work with medical professionals, and with the other party’s insurers, to ensure an early rehabilitation package is put in place.
We will also seek an early compensation payment (known as an interim payment) to lessen the financial impact of the injury.
Client’s parents’ appreciation of the work done for Martin.
Martin´s case was complicated and thus took long time. Our experience is that Ms Yaqub has handled it with great patience, skillfulness and kindness. But she also had the courage to go to the Swedish authorities to have Martin´s ”God Man” dismissed when the ”God Man” did not cooperate in Martin´s favour. We strongly believe that a new ”God Man” will serve Martin better in many respects and are very happy for Ms Yaqub´s acting.
The settlement achieved gives Martin good economical possibilities to have more physiotherapy and new training for example to help himself in the bathroom. He can afford a music therapist and some travelling. Presently, we are in negotiation for Martin to buy a 94 m2 apartment designed for disabled persons located in Älvsjö near public communications. There are three bedrooms so Martin can have friends visiting overnight.
Thus we heartily recommend Ms Riffat Yaqub to defend the rights of brain-injured persons.” Martin’s Parents
"OUR FAMILY IS EXTREMELY GRATEFUL TO RIFFAT AND HER TEAM. GREAT RESPECT FOR THEM FOR THE EXTRAORDINARY HARD WORK THEY DO FOR OUR FAMILY."
