I was in an accident and I have a court case for a couple moving violations. But the kicker is I’m in a rehab recovering?
I’m in rehab had no way of knowing of the violations. So a office came to look for me for a warrant. The office gave a break, I think. But I am in a wheel chair, but since this has happened. A contrvied thing happened today to get me out the rehab. So I’m wondering if I show up in a wheelchair to court will I be arrested by a the judge. This is in mass

no, you probably will not be arrested or jailed for failure to appear. Tell truth about the dates of your hospitalization and rehab ...
What is it about rehab that prevented you from attending court? Why didn't you know about the violations? If you're living at the rehab center during treatment, you should have forwarded your mail there or had someone bring it to you. There are ways around these problems, and judges know that.
Call and discuss your case with a lawyer. The lawyer can then gather documentation showing you were incapable of appearing for the violations. Just saying you were is not enough, you will need evidence.
Fix the issue with rehab first. Get on the phone.
