MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS & CTP
A car accident can lead to injuries which require physiotherapy, the most common of which is whiplash.
Our Physiotherapists are experienced in treating motor vehicle accidents and have the skills to get you back to optimal health.
Let us take the hassle out of your journey to recovery. We liaise directly with the relevant insurer, and in some cases, your lawyer.
PHYSIO AFTER AN ACCIDENT
If you were injured in a motor vehicle while driving, as a passenger in a vehicle on the roads or as a pedestrian, you may be eligible for Physiotherapy which is covered by third-party insurance (CTP insurance).
Motor vehicle accidents (MVA) can happen any time and can cause a lot of headache and grief. CTP insurance may cover for your Physiotherapy treatment. Physiotherapy After a Motor Vehicle Accident is crucial and can prevent long term spinal complications.
Not all symptoms will appear immediately after the accident, some symptoms and pains can develop a few days after the accident has taken place. The body often goes into ‘protection mode’ for safety to prevent further damage after an accident. Once the body starts to relax, the pain will become more apparent.
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
You must have notified your insurance company of the incident, consulted with your GP and received a medical certificate and a claim number from your insurance company.
You will most likely need to pay the fee for your first 2 - 3 treatments in full and then claim this back from your insurance company at a more appropriate time.
We then contact your lawyers and the other insurer. Following insurer's approval of our treatment plan, you can commence treatment without having to pay.
