Form 1 – Attendant Care Guide
Form 1 documents assessed attendant-care needs following a motor vehicle accident. Insurers review the assessment when making decisions about attendant-care benefits and funding.
What is Form 1?
Form 1 – Assessment of Attendant Care Needs is completed by an occupational therapist or registered nurse. It evaluates how much assistance a person requires with daily living activities after an accident.
What does it determine?

Monthly Benefit Amount

How it fits into the claim
The Form 1 is submitted to the insurer and reviewed as part of the accident benefits process. Approval depends on documentation, justification, and the insurer’s assessment of the claim.
Important to understand
