After the accident
What should I do after a car accident?
The steps below are general guidance, not medical or legal advice. Every accident is different, and an appropriate evaluation can help determine your next steps.
Check for emergency symptoms
If you or anyone involved has severe or emergency symptoms, call 911 or seek emergency medical attention immediately.
Seek an appropriate medical evaluation
Even if symptoms seem minor, an evaluation can help identify problems early. Symptoms such as neck pain, back pain, stiffness, and headaches may not appear right away.
Keep your documentation
Gather information about the accident, including the police report if available, insurance details, and any records from other providers you have seen.
Contact the clinic
Call (305) 757-5117 or request an appointment. Accident patients may be seen the same day or within 24 hours, subject to appointment availability.
Why timing matters
Why timely evaluation matters after an accident
Symptoms after a car accident are not always immediately apparent. Neck pain, back pain, stiffness, headaches, and reduced mobility can develop in the days after a collision. An appropriate medical evaluation can help identify problems early and determine next steps.
Florida is a no-fault state, and Florida law requires that initial medical care be received within 14 days of a motor vehicle accident for Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits to apply, per Florida Statute 627.736 . This is general information, not legal advice. For questions about your specific claim, contact your insurance company or a qualified professional.
