Application for Catastrophic Impairment (OCF19)
In order to meet the definition of catastrophic impairment following a car accident, a licensed doctor must complete and submit an OCF-19 form. This form is called an Application for Determination of Catastrophic Impairment. If deemed Catastrophic, our clients are eligible for a greater amount of accident benefits, which allows them access to greater funds for treatment, attendant care and more. We help our clients during their application process and connect them with the specialists that help them support their claim.
Sleep Study
Sleep disturbances are common following a motor vehicle accident. We measure brain activity, eye movement, heart rate, breathing rate and air flow to measure sleep efficiency and to identify areas of concern. Our professionals then use the results of these studies to design and implement an effective treatment plan to restore our clients' sleep-wake cycle.
Functional Abilities Evaluation
A Functional Abilities Evaluation (FAE) is a specific assessment performed by a registered physiotherapist, or occupational therapist to help identify a client's physical work tolerances. The report outlines specific limitations our clients may face in returning to work. It can help to focus rehabilitation services to ensure a timely return to work for our clients
Occupational Therapy (Attendant Care, Form 1)
Following an accident, some of our clients are eligible for attendant care benefits. These benefits are payable to our clients for expenses related to services provided by an aide. Our occupational therapists assess our clients' needs and complete a Form 1 in accordance with the requirements laid out by the insurance company.
Chronic Pain
Our chronic pain specialist will work with our clients to develop strategies for handling their pain. These may include lifestyle changes, dietary restrictions, neuro-blocker injections and other strategies. Specialists in psychology, psychiatry, behavioral science, and other areas may also play an important role in a comprehensive pain management program.
TMJ Services
These services are for our clients who suffer from jaw pain or who have disorders which affect their ability to chew, speak or eat. Our TMJ specialists work with our clients to explore non-surgical and non-surgical solutions to their pain and discomfort. In many cases, TMJ disorders can be managed without resorting to surgical solutions.
Orthopedic Surgery
Our orthopedic surgeons assess and treat our clients’ conditions involving the musculoskeletal system. Our orthopedic surgeons use both surgical and nonsurgical means to treat musculoskeletal trauma, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors, and congenital disorders.
Social Work Services
Our social workers help to improve our clients’ quality of life and enhance well-being by providing counseling services for the individual and their families. They will help to connect the client to important resources available to them in their community to reintegrate them into their community. They also focus on education for clients and their families regarding their injuries and provide family counseling to help improve family dynamics following an accident.
Neuropsychology
Our neuropsychologists are concerned with how the brain and the rest of the nervous system influence our client’s cognition and behaviors. They are focused on how injuries or illnesses of the brain, which are common following car accidents, affect cognitive functions and behaviors.
