OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST REPORTS
Many Australians have some form of disability, whether a physical impairment, a psychological issue or a matter of general health and well-being.
If a disability means that a person's ability to live independently has been compromised - that is, they need some measure of personal or domestic care or assistance - they may have an additional claim on family assets or resources.
Occupation Therapists assist people who have been ill or injured to participate as fully as possible in all aspects of life. They can identify what level of assistance a person may need to live independently, as well as any aids, equipment, home modifications or therapies that may be needed.
Needs may be as simple as having someone help with heavy house or yard work, or organising activities, all the way through to full time care for a catastrophically injured person.
EVIDEX Occupational Therapists reports comes with a brief Forensic Accountant's report that sets out the lifetime cost of providing the services and other aids.
(Note: The lifetime costs of some services can be very high, even greater than a family's assets. It is important that a claim for additional settlement funds to cover these expenses be professionally examined and costed so as to be taken into account in arriving at a final settlement.)
