Services for vulnerable and disabled people
Life is highly unpredictable. Sometimes, when you least expect it, you find it harder than you ever thought imaginable. Facing life after a serious illness or injury is often frightening and daunting, and when that happens it’s so difficult to find the right people to help you.
At Coffin Mew we have the right team to help you whatever the situation. We know how life can change and what it takes to overcome challenges that you never imagined you would have to face. We have particular expertise in brain injury and cerebral palsy.
Coffin Mew has a team of highly regarded legal advisors who have their own personal experience of disability and who have helped many people from all walks of life not only gain the just and fair compensation they deserve, but also access the rehabilitation assistance needed to make the best medical, social and psychological recovery.
Our experts provide legal advice and practical help to individuals, families, professionals and charities working with and caring for our clients.
