‘Future-Proofing’ Prosthetic Care in Personal Injury Claims

Introduction

Prosthetic technology is evolving at pace, with significant recent innovations such as the introduction of the Genium X4. Alongside these advancements, however, comes a corresponding increase in the long term cost of prosthetic provision.

In this webinar, the latest developments in prosthetic design will be examined and how escalating prosthetic costs should be addressed within personal injury settlements.

Peter will provide an overview of cutting edge prosthetic technology, ranging from upper limb devices such as the Luke Arm through to advanced lower limb systems including the Genium X4. He will also look ahead to emerging technologies and consider how prosthetic provision may continue to develop in the years to come.

Richard will focus on the legal implications of these advances, exploring whether and how a personal injury claim can be structured to safeguard a claimant’s future needs, particularly where ongoing innovation is likely to drive increased prosthetic costs over a lifetime.

This webinar will be of interest to solicitors, clinicians, case managers, and anyone involved in or interested in amputation cases and prosthetic provision.
