If you or a member of your family has been seriously injured in a car accident, you need to ensure that not only do you get the right medical and hospital treatment, but when you return home from hospital, you get the right help at home.
Coming home in a wheelchair or on crutches or not being able to look after yourself or your family is difficult. Being unable to return to work and earn an income only compounds the problem.
It is important that if you have been involved in a car accident and it is not your fault, that you lodge a Motor Accident Personal Injury Claim Form with the Compulsory Third Party insurer for the vehicle at fault as soon as possible.
Under the Motor Accidents Guidelines, every insurer has a rehabilitation team who will act quickly to ensure that seriously injured people receive the help they need.
We cannot stress enough the importance of lodging the Claim Form and being able to have the insurer put in place domestic assistance, care for children (if needed), as well as occupational and other therapies to help you to be rehabilitated and get your life back on track.
