The above answer would be for someone working for an insurance company, however a disability case manager may also work for a 3rd party rahabilitation company - hired by the insurance company to work with an injured person. The case manager would support the person in getting any services and supports they require including home accessibility assessment, physiotherapy, help returning to work or getting support to change careers if necessary, and basically help to oversee the injured person's life as they recover from injury and manoeuver through the health care system. The case manager is there as a support but the injured person would often be wise to consult a alwayer as well, since the case manager is paid through insurance - this ensures that the person receives the benefits they are entitled to.
