Physical Therapy for Auto Accident Victims
Research indicates that most people will experience a car accident at some point in their lives, leaving the severity as the only real uncertainty.
Important things to remember:
1. Seek treatment as soon as possible.
2. If you are seriously hurt, go to the ER or local hospital. Be sure to ask for a physical therapy prescription, just in case you need it.
3. Don’t have a doctor? We have a team of doctors who can see you and refer you to physical therapy at no out of pocket expense to you. Call us on (604) 364-2227
4. If you’re still experiencing pain or discomfort a few days or more, come to our office to determine if you need further care.
5. Remember, come in as soon as possible in order to get better, faster.
6. Most Auto Insurance companies have what is called Med Pay or PIP. This means you’re covered 100%, with no out of pocket expense up to a certain limit. Our office can check into that for you.
7. If the accident was not your fault. The other party’s auto insurance should cover your healthcare expenses in our office. We’ll do all the paperwork for you.
8. Don’t settle with the insurance company before we review your case. If you sign too early, your case is closed—leaving you stuck paying out of pocket for your ongoing recovery.
9. Dealing with insurance adjusters after a crash is exhausting. When you hire a reputable lawyer, they take over the paperwork, phone calls, and hard bargaining so you can step back and concentrate 100% on healing.
10. Injuries sustained after a car accident if left untreated can lead to spinal degeneration and a host of other problems for years to come.
FINAL NOTE: Fault or no fault, you shouldn’t skip medical care after a crash. Many drivers avoid treatment because they fear higher insurance rates – but that is exactly what your PIP (Personal Insurance Protection) coverage is for! Plus, many insurers won’t raise your rates after one or even two accidents in the same year. Let us help you get the care you need.
THE INJURIES SUSTAINED IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT CAN CAUSE A HOST OF PROBLEMS FOR YEARS TO COME, OR EVEN THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO COME IN AND GET CHECKED.
