Recovering from a Truck Accident (Part A)

If you've been injured in a truck accident, you are one of 100,000 people who suffer truck accident injuries each year. This startling number, courtesy of the Department of Transportation, shows that you are not alone in your injuries. Many other Americans have experienced a truck accident and have been able to overcome the trauma and injuries they suffered.

The following resources will give you an idea of what expect as well as options during your truck injury recovery. If you plan to file a personal injury lawsuit against the driver or trucking company, be aware that Massachusetts has a statute of limitations that may prohibit you from filing a lawsuit if too much time has passed. Contact The Law Office of Thomas M. Kiley for guidance on your Massachusetts personal injury case.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy can be an important part of your recovery from truck accident injuries. Follow your doctor's recommendations, and be sure to complete all your scheduled sessions. The pain of truck accident injuries can linger for years if the cause is not treated successfully. Physical therapy can include many exercises including:

Assisted stretching
Water exercises
Light weightlifting
Mobility exercises

The types of exercises you perform at a physical therapist's office will depend on the severity and location of your injuries. To find a physical therapist in Massachusetts, visit the American Physical Therapy Association of Massachusetts.

Handicap Accessible Housing

If the truck accident caused permanent or disabling injuries, you may need to alter your living situation to make it easier to get around and perform daily tasks. If you need to move into a handicap-accessible house, you may be eligible for subsidized rent or a low-cost FHA loan.

If you want to stay in your own house, you may also be eligible for a low-cost loan or grant to make your home handicap-accessible. For more information about housing options for truck accident victims, visit the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

It can be hard to think about these issues when your life has changed so drastically after a truck accident. If you choose to do so, your attorney can help guide you through the process of filing a lawsuit against the truck driver. A settlement or judgment can give you the compensation you need for medical bills or housing.
