Motor Vehicle Accident Rehabilitation
- Recovery time after a motor vehicle accident varies person to person. It depends on what part of the body is affected, it also depends on the severity of the injury and how quickly your body copes with it. The time can take from a couple of weeks to a few months.
- There are other factors which can vary your recovery time, such as your general health and how quickly after the accident you got help and treatment. Your lifestyle, age, and how much time off work you’ve got to heal also play a role.
- It’s also important to remember that after the accident, you should always consult your doctor. Even if you think that your injuries are minor, a professional will give you a proper exam and help you with recovery plans and execution.
