If you are injured in a car accident you may need care. This is time other people will spend helping you manage the most basic activities – getting dressed, showering, taking medication, being safe in your home, etc. The monies you have available for this care is calculated through a document completed by an Occupational Therapist (or a nurse). It is actually pretty simple – an occupational therapist does an assessment, calculates the amount of care, and that is the care that can be provided.
