UK disability & rehabilitation consultants supporting personal injury & clinical negligence claims
A British or Irish citizen has been injured abroad.
An overseas citizen has been injured in the UK.
Who’s going to quantify the cost of rehabilitation?
Even if the rehab assessment and report don’t demand linguistic skills,
cultural, legal, health-care and logistical awareness are essential.
Not only do care and rehab facilities vary from country to country; the costs do, too.Jacqueline Webb & Co has the resources to handle cases in the UK, Republic of Ireland, EU, America, Australasia, Africa and Asia.
We can assess facilities, establish costs, liaise with lawyers – and relate to widely differing cultures. Here are a few examples .
Filipino Merchant Seaman injured in UK:
• He lost a limb.
• How would he cope in his own country?
• How would he rebuild his life?
• How many UK organisations could quantify the cost?
• Jacqueline Webb & Co, for one.
In addition to him flying back to the UK for interview and assessment, we arranged for a film to be made of his home situation – while liaising with a Filipino occupational therapist, to establish the availability of equipment and services in the Philippines.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: JACQUELINE WEBB & CO
I am the Managing Director of Stacks/Goudkamp Pty Limited, a boutique Personal Injury law firm in Sydney, Australia.
I am acting for an English professor who suffered catastrophic brain injury in a road accident in Australia, and who has since been repatriated to the UK where he requires urgent and intensive rehabilitation.
In order to apply for an interim payment from the Australian-based insurer, to fund my client's ongoing rehabilitation and hospitalisation, I asked Jacqueline Webb & Co to arrange an OT assessment. Their OT (Jane Hogg) conducted an extremely thorough assessment of my client's needs. She also met with my client's relatives.
M/s Hogg's detailed report enabled me to secure the significant funding from the insurer which has enabled my client to receive the rehabilitation and therapy he so desperately requires.
The service I have received from Jacqueline Webb & Co has been exemplary. I was particularly impressed with the prompt attention I received, the quality of the information I was sent and the dynamic approach to the assessment.
My firm will engage Jacqueline Webb & Co whenever the opportunity arises.

A little girl with no arms – but great potential:
• As a clever child, she should be looking forward to University.
• As a woman, she faces a lifetime of challenge.
• As a Muslim, her marriage prospects are paramount.
• We often have to bridge ethnic and cultural divides.
In this instance, we reported, not simply on the girl’s health issues, but also on the society in which she must make her way.
A typical case in Eastern Europe.

" We act for many clients who are injured in this country but return home to be looked after – and we have been dealing with Jacqueline Webb & Co for many years.
Recently we needed a specialist head injury case manager to visit a PVS client in hospital in Eastern Europe and prepare a report.
We instructed Carolyn Archibold from Jacqueline Webb & Co, who flew out at relatively short notice. We met her at the airport and took her to the hospital. We provided in-house translation for her. We found Carolyn to be very professional. We were impressed with the sympathy she showed our client's family and in how quickly she got to grips with the case.
The trip involved an overnight stay after a gruelling day’s work. We treated Carolyn to the delights of Eastern European cuisine and by way of recompense she delivered her report exactly when she said she would.
The report is comprehensive and will enable us to obtain a significant interim payment to fund our client's care needs.
Our experience with Carolyn reinforces our view that Jacqueline Webb & Co are as good as you get. We will be using them again. No doubt Carolyn will keep a spare bag packed in readiness."
