Auto accident care.
Clear path, clear documentation, minimal friction. The Florida PIP 14-day rule means timing matters — get evaluated this week.
Documented from visit one.
Florida's PIP statute requires you to receive medical care within 14 days of the accident to maintain full PIP benefits. After 14 days, your benefits drop substantially. That window is real — book this week.
Every visit is documented to the standard PIP carriers and personal injury attorneys expect: ICD-10 coded, mechanism of injury, exam findings, imaging recommendations, treatment plan, and progress benchmarks.
Our Jacksonville and Orange Park offices see accident patients the same day they call — a thorough orthopedic and neurological evaluation, clinical documentation for insurance and legal purposes, and a complete recovery plan coordinated under one roof.
Mechanism of injury, range of motion, neurological screen, orthopedic tests, pain mapping. We refer for imaging when indicated. Documentation matches what attorneys and carriers need.
The 14-day PIP window is Florida law — not a suggestion
Under Florida Statute 627.736, Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits cover 80% of medical expenses up to $10,000 after an auto accident — but only when the injured person is evaluated by a qualified medical provider within 14 days of the accident. Waiting beyond this window forfeits coverage entirely, regardless of how severe your injuries turn out to be.
That single deadline is why timing matters so much. Miss it and up to $10,000 in medical benefits simply disappears — gone, no exceptions. Florida law requires PIP coverage on every auto policy, which means your initial treatment after an accident is covered when you act in time. We handle the insurance paperwork so you can focus on getting better.
Symptoms hide behind adrenaline
The crash pumps your body full of adrenaline and endorphins. You might feel fine for two or three days. Then the neck stiffness hits. Then the headaches. Then the shooting pain down your arm. Auto accident injuries most commonly involve the cervical and lumbar spine, producing whiplash-associated disorders, disc herniations, facet joint sprains, and soft tissue injuries that may not produce immediate symptoms.
Research published in the journal Spine shows that a significant proportion of whiplash patients develop chronic neck pain, with early musculoskeletal intervention associated with improved long-term outcomes compared to delayed treatment. Early evaluation catches what adrenaline hides — and immediate documentation proves the connection between the accident and your injuries. If you wait three weeks to see a doctor, the insurance company argues your injuries aren't serious. Your attorney needs that early record.
Common auto accident injuries we treat
Even a low-speed fender bender on San Jose Blvd or a rear-end collision on I-295 can cause real damage. Your body absorbs a tremendous amount of force — even at 15 mph. The injuries we see most often after a collision include whiplash, soft tissue injuries, herniated discs, concussion symptoms, back pain from impact, neck pain and stiffness, shoulder and upper back injuries, sciatica from trauma, and knee and hip injuries.
We treat all of it under one roof. Chiropractic, massage, rehabilitation, and imaging referrals are coordinated right here — no running around to five different offices. One team handles your entire recovery, adjusting your plan as you improve and tracking progress the whole way.
What to do after a car accident — and how we handle the paperwork
The path is simple. First, call us — we offer same-day or next-morning appointments for accident patients at (904) 379-9412. Second, get evaluated: a full exam, neurological testing, orthopedic assessment, and imaging referral if needed, so you have a clear diagnosis before you leave. Third, start treatment tailored to your specific injuries. Fourth, stay on track with consistent care and progress tracking.
The fifth step is the one that overwhelms most people, and it's the one we take off your plate entirely: PIP claims, insurance documentation, and attorney coordination. If you have a personal injury case, we coordinate directly with your attorney — medical records, progress reports, narrative reports, whatever they need, we provide it. Insurance companies look for gaps in your records; we document everything so your file is airtight if you need it.
