Car Accident & PIP Insurance FAQs — Jacksonville Chiropractic
After a car accident in Jacksonville, you have questions — and we have answers. Here are the most common things our patients ask about car accident chiropractic care and Florida PIP insurance.
How long do I have to see a chiropractor after a car accident in Florida?
14 days. Florida law requires you to seek medical treatment within 14 days of your accident to qualify for PIP benefits. Missing this window can cost you up to $10,000 in covered medical care. Call us immediately after an accident — same-day appointments are available at (904) 379-9412.
How much does chiropractic care cost after a car accident in Jacksonville?
Usually nothing out of pocket. Florida PIP covers up to $10,000 in medical care after an accident. If you’re pursuing a personal injury claim, we can often treat you on a lien basis — meaning we get paid from your settlement and you pay nothing upfront.
What car accident injuries does a chiropractor treat?
Whiplash, neck pain, back pain, herniated discs, sciatica, headaches, shoulder injuries, and soft tissue damage. These are exactly what chiropractic excels at — structural injuries that respond to hands-on treatment, not just medication.
Do I need a police report to see a chiropractor after a car accident?
No. You can come in without a report. That said, always file one for accidents involving injury or significant property damage — it protects you legally.
Can I see a chiropractor if I was a passenger?
Yes. Passengers are covered under the vehicle owner’s PIP or their own auto insurance. Call us and we’ll help you figure out which coverage applies.
Should I go to the ER or a chiropractor after a car accident?
Go to the ER for severe emergencies — difficulty breathing, suspected fractures, or loss of consciousness. For the soft tissue and spinal injuries typical of most accidents (neck pain, back pain, whiplash), a chiropractor provides more targeted, effective care than an ER visit will.
