Whiplash After a Car Accident

Neck pain doesn't always start immediately after a crash. Whiplash is a common auto accident injury caused by the rapid back-and-forth movement of the head and neck during a collision. Symptoms may develop hours or even days after the accident.

Common signs of whiplash include:

Neck pain or stiffness

Headaches

Shoulder or upper back pain

Reduced range of motion

Muscle soreness or tenderness

Tingling or numbness

Even if you felt fine immediately after your accident, new or worsening symptoms shouldn't be ignored. An auto accident injury evaluation can help identify the source of your symptoms and determine whether treatment is appropriate.

What Happens During Your Auto Accident Evaluation

Not all car accident injuries hurt right away. Neck pain, back pain, headaches, numbness, stiffness, and other symptoms can take hours or even days to appear. Your evaluation is designed to identify accident-related injuries early and document what happened.Car accident injuries like whiplash, cervical strain, lumbar disc herniation, and nerve impingement  symptoms don’t always show up right away. You may feel fine for 48 to 72 hours before pain, numbness or restrictured movement appears. That delay does not mean you are uninjured.

Our evaluation gives you:

Evaluation for common accident injuries like whiplash, neck and back injuries, disc injuries, nerve symptoms, and soft tissue damage.

Medical documentation that supports your injury claim and any personal injury case

Personalized injury treatmant plans

We'll help you understand what comes next after your evaluation

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral?

No referral is required to schedule an evaluation.

Do you accept auto insurance?

We work directly with Florida PIP (Personal Injury Protection) auto insurance; the coverage required on all FL vehicles. In most cases, you pay nothing out of pocket for your evaluation. We also provide medical records at no charge and give you 24/7 access to your records and our staff

How soon after an accident should I be evaluated?

Florida's PIP law requires you to seek treatment within 14 days of your accident to qualify for medical benefits. Don't wait! Call us today for a same-day or next-day appointment.

What happens during the first visit?

Your first visit includes intake, physical assessment, discussion of findings, and next-step guidance.

Do you provide transportation to appointments?

Yes! We offer complimentary transportation for patients who need it. If your car was damaged in the accident or you're unable to drive, just let us know when you call and we'll arrange it for you.

What injuries does PIP cover after a car accident?

PIP covers medically necessary treament for injuries cased by a car accident. Common injuries we evaluate and treat include whiplash, cervical and lumbar strain, herniated or bulging discs, soft tissue contusions, and radiculopath (nerve pain radiating into the arms or legs). If your injury resulted from a motor vehicle collision, it is likely covered under your PIP policy.

Do I need an attorney before I come in?

No. You do not need an attorney to schedule your evaluation. Many patients see us first and retain an attorney later. If you already have legal representation, we coordinate directly with your attorney's office to ensure your medical documentation supports your case. Either way, your PIP benefits cover the visit.

What if I was in a rideshare or was a passenger?

Your PIP benefits apply whether you were driving, a passenger in someone else's vehicle, or riding in an Uber or Lyft. Florida PIP is no-fault, meaning your own policy covers you regardless of who caused the accident. If you were a pedestrian or cyclist struck by a vehicle, PIP also applies.
