As a personal injury lawyer, you’ll know how tough it can be for people whose injuries have left them needing to use a wheelchair. One of their most immediate needs is accessing safe, reliable, and affordable transport, especially for medical appointments and daily essentials. This is where Open Road Access (ORA) can help you and your personal injury clients. We offer wheelchair-accessible vehicles for hire – a solution that can prove invaluable in helping support your client’s mobility and independence.
For example, for one personal injury lawyer, we provided a wheelchair accessible vehicle to their client’s mother. Her vehicle was being repaired, and the WAV rental we provided went a long way to reducing her stress, by enabling her to get to medical appointments easily.
Here are 5 reasons personal injury lawyers trust ORA to support them and their clients.
Strengthen your client’s personal injury claim
As well as providing your client with a wheelchair accessible vehicle, we will supply you with a detailed record of everything you need to know about the vehicle. We can give you records of expenses, distance travelled and the vehicle specifications. This documentation supports your client’s personal injury claim by demonstrating their need for accessible transport. Our records make it easier for you to show the ongoing impact of their injuries, strengthening the case for appropriate compensation.
Transparent pricing makes compensation calculations easier
Compensation calculations can be complicated, but ORA’s all-inclusive rental plans make pricing simple and transparent. Our fixed rates mean you’ll have a clear, predictable cost for each rental period, making it easier to gain insurance company approval and avoid surprise costs. This transparency also makes it simpler for you to secure the right support for your clients without unnecessary complications.
Hire a WAV for as long as your client needs one
Every personal injury client’s recovery timeline is different. So, we offer a fully flexible WAV hire service. We can provide your client with a wheelchair accessible vehicle for a day, a week, a month, or even longer. Whether your client needs a vehicle for a few weeks or several months, our service adapts to their timeline. You can rest assured that they’ll have access to the transport they need for as long as needed.
Wherever your practice is based, we can serve you
Our wheelchair accessible vehicle hire service is available nationwide. So, wherever your law practice is based and wherever your client lives, we can serve you. Our comprehensive service includes delivery and collection of the WAV, insurance and breakdown cover. Our team handles all the logistics so you can focus on what matters most: supporting your client’s recovery and claims. We’ll ensure your clients get the accessible transport they need without hassle.
A more affordable and accessible solution
Buying a wheelchair accessible vehicle can be very expensive, and your personal injury client may not be ready to commit to such an upfront cost. But they will likely still need a form of accessible transport to get about day to day. Taxis can be a valuable fallback solution, but not all taxis can cater for wheelchair users, and the costs can quickly mount over time. Our wheelchair accessible vehicle hire service is an affordable and dependable solution designed specifically for wheelchair users.
Quick and reliable delivery
If your client’s personal injury claim gets delayed, they could be left without accessible transport in the short term. Being unable to get out and about can significantly impact their wellbeing and slow their recovery. Our service can provide your clients with a wheelchair-accessible vehicle as soon as the next day. And with hire periods from 1 day to 1 year, we can help your client to stay mobile and maintain their quality of life while their personal injury claim is being processed.
