Truck Accident Rehab

Truck accidents: Due to the large size and heavy weight of trucks, truck accidents almost always lead to severe injuries. Unfortunately, these injuries can impact the lives of those involved for years to come and can make it difficult to lead the active and fulfilling lifestyles they may have been accustomed to. Truck accidents fall under ‘motor vehicle accidents’ and are covered under CTP insurance (Compulsory Third Party Insurance). Any reasonable costs due to the truck accident are covered under CTP insurance. This can include medical expenses and lost wages.

Physiotherapy After a Truck Accident (CTP Claims):

Truck accidents can happen any time and can cause a lot of headache and grief due to the injuries it can cause. Physiotherapy treatment after your motor vehicle accident is covered under CTP insurance (compulsory third party insurance). Physiotherapy after having an accident is crucial and can prevent long term pain and other complications.

Please note, approval from your insurance company is required. You will also need to visit a GP after your accident who will assess you and make recommendations.

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 will become more apparent.
