From the writer's and his wife's careers and life experiences they considered they had the knowledge and mental capacity to cope with the strains that a catastrophic accident and the resultant physical and mental injuries. These injuries placed extreme social conditions upon them and their family. Despite their knowledge and mental capacity they found that legal and health procedures were extremely stressful and in fact very nearly destroyed their strong marriage.
The knowledge to deal with the aftermath of a catastrophic accident is needed as early as the time when the injured party is in hospital.
Once the accident has occurred it is essential the family have access to expert knowledge and the ability to solve their practical problems as they present.
After the accident many victims and their families will falter as the problems appear. Even apparently educated people will struggle to obtain all the necessary skills to survive the next few years.
Areas where Mentor Experiences can help.
In the Hospital at the time and after the accident.
Nursing and Medical procedures. These with the best will in the world are baffling to most of us.
Police Procedures and the Accident Scene.
Police levels of investigation are sometimes non existent. Mentor Experiences can help to ensure you are empowered to ensure the evidence at the scene of the accident is not lost. Haste is needed in this aspect of your case.
A Personal Mentoring Service will liaise with you to ascertain if a review of the accident site is needed for causes of the accident. Liaising with the Police may be necessary to ensure that an appropriate Police investigation is taking place. Failing that Mentor Experience will recommend whether an Independent Accident Reconstruction should be done to preserve evidence and opinion for use in your case.
If a prosecution takes place a Personal Mentoring Service can support the victim and their family through the criminal Magistrates Court case if there is a Police Investigation and prosecution.
Getting to the right solicitor.
All levels of accidental injury however minor deserves the best possible solicitor. Mentor Experiences will guide all victims of accidents and their families to the best possible solicitor.
Administering at home the victim's civil claim.

Money.
A Personal Mentoring Service can work with you and your solicitor on how monies obtained from the solicitor can be best used. This is a vital area as it can maximise your compensation or minimise it also. Local authority services are a consideration as many of their services are means tested and money obtained from solicitors can do damage and prevent you accessing the Local Authority services. A balance needs to be achieved.
Money being spent by the family to fight the case arise in housing issues, occupational therapy/equipment issues and nursing care issues among others.
