5 guides for the 14 days after a crash.

Learning what happens after a car accident is mostly learning two timelines: the one your body runs, where whiplash and soft-tissue injuries peak two to three days after impact and nerve symptoms can take weeks, and the one Florida's Personal Injury Protection statute runs, where initial treatment must begin within 14 days or the benefit is gone. The guides below are written by this office, a chiropractic accident practice in Lighthouse Point, and reviewed by Dr. Carol McNamara-Krauss, DC. They cover what to do in the first hours and days, how PIP pays and where the $2,500 cap comes from, what whiplash actually is, and what a personal injury file from this office contains. They are general information from a medical office, not legal advice; the statute and your attorney control on claim questions. New articles are added as patients and attorneys ask new questions, so if yours is not here, call (754) 342-6479 and it may become the next one.
