What to Do After a Car Accident: Your Guide to Rehab and Recovery

Introduction

Car accidents happen in a split second but can leave lasting effects on your body and daily life. If you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident in Ontario, you may be eligible for rehabilitation services covered by auto insurance. At Point Grey Physio, we’re here to help you recover—physically, emotionally, and financially.

Understand Your Rights

Many people aren’t aware that their auto insurance includes accident benefits that cover rehabilitation expenses. These benefits may include:

• Physiotherapy
• Chiropractic treatment
• Registered massage therapy (RMT)
• Acupuncture
• Psychological support, if needed

Our team at Point Grey Physio specializes in navigating Ontario’s accident benefits system and ensuring you receive the care you’re entitled to.

Don’t Delay Treatment

Injuries like whiplash, nerve pain, and soft tissue damage may not feel severe at first but can worsen without proper care. Early assessment and treatment increase your chances of a full recovery and reduce long-term complications. Prompt care also supports smoother claims processing.

How Rehab Works After a Car Accident

Once you’ve been in an accident:

1. Our healthcare team will assess your injuries
2. We’ll develop a customized treatment plan
3. We help submit all required insurance forms, including OCF-1 and OCF-18

At Point Grey Physio, we make the process easy so you can focus on healing.
