MVA Assessments

For more than twenty years, Abilities has provided assessment and treatment to persons injured in motor vehicle accidents. After such accidents people may suffer from a variety of serious physical, emotional, and psychological problems, including those due to head injury (e.g., concussion). Important relationships with partners and family may also suffer when a loved one is experiencing such problems. Our multidisciplinary team has the resources to properly assess these issues and design treatment plans that address them.

A number of medical-legal issues often arise with serious motor vehicle accidents. Abilities can provide specific assessments of these issues, such as designation of Catastrophic Injury, Life Care Planning, and determination of personal and attendant care needs.
