Car Accident Doctor 25 Minutes South of Atlantic Avenue

A car accident doctor for Delray Beach is twenty-five minutes south by I-95, just below the Palm Beach County line. Car Accident Doctors Group, the accident-injury practice of Dr. Carol McNamara-Krauss, DC, is at 3320 N Federal Hwy #107 in Lighthouse Point, on US-1 between Sample Road and Copans Road. Delray is the farthest city we serve, and patients make the drive for a reason.

That reason is the file. Delray Beach has no shortage of clinics, but attorneys who practice at the South County Courthouse on Atlantic Avenue want a same-day exam, a chiropractic physician with 30 years in practice, and a record built in a proprietary case documentation system designed in consultation with personal injury attorneys. Florida's PIP rules are statewide, so treatment in Broward works exactly like treatment in Palm Beach. Janelle Deal, our case coordinator, speaks Spanish. Call (754) 342-6479, answered 24/7.

Delray Beach crashes happen at two I-95 interchanges, Atlantic Avenue and Linton Boulevard, and along the roads that feed them. Atlantic Avenue from I-95 east through downtown to the beach is the busiest street in the city, and the blocks between Swinton Avenue and the Intracoastal bridge are a slow crawl of rear-end taps and pedestrian conflicts. Linton Boulevard between Military Trail and Federal Highway carries the hospital, mall and commuter traffic and produces the higher-speed collisions. Congress Avenue and Military Trail on the west side, near the gated communities and Kings Point, are where left-turn crashes happen. Federal Highway through Osceola Park and Tropic Isle is a long run of driveways and signals.

Delray Medical Center on Linton Boulevard is the area trauma center and the right first stop for any head injury, loss of consciousness, chest pain, fracture or numbness in the arms or legs. We screen for head injury and concussion and refer them; we do not treat them here. For the attorney reader, this is the home venue: the South County Courthouse is on Atlantic Avenue, and Delray Beach cases are filed there in Palm Beach County. Records from our Broward office work the same way in that courtroom. The first visit produces orthopedic and neurological testing and range-of-motion measurements documented the same day, a treatment note follows every visit, and the file goes out as one PDF.

Florida PIP is the same statute in Palm Beach and Broward. It pays 80% of reasonable medical expenses up to $10,000 if initial treatment begins within 14 days of the crash. Without an emergency medical condition (EMC) determination, the benefit is limited to $2,500. An EMC can only be determined by an MD, DO, PA or APRN, not by a chiropractor; this office refers patients out for that determination. A Delray patient hurt on Atlantic Avenue who lets the 14 days pass has no PIP medical benefit to recover, no matter how good the case is otherwise. Chiropractic care is covered under section 627.736. This is general information, not legal advice. Dr. Carol McNamara-Krauss is a Florida-licensed chiropractic physician (DC), license CH5281.

From downtown or Pineapple Grove: take Atlantic Avenue west to I-95 and go south. Stay on I-95 through Boca Raton and Deerfield Beach to the Sample Road exit. Go east on Sample Road across Dixie Highway to Federal Highway and turn south. The 3320 building is on the left within a few blocks, before Copans Road. About twenty-five minutes.

From Tropic Isle, Seagate or the beach: Federal Highway south is the alternative. Stay on US-1 through Highland Beach's inland side, downtown Boca Raton and Deerfield Beach, past Hillsboro Boulevard and Sample Road, and the building is on the left. It is a few minutes slower than I-95 but avoids the interchanges.

From Rainberry Bay, Sabal Lakes or the Military Trail side: Linton Boulevard east to I-95, then south to Sample Road. Suite 107 is on the ground floor with parking in front.
