FAQ: Car Accident Chiropractic Care & PIP Insurance in Jacksonville FL

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. After that, PIP may not pay. 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?

We accept all auto insurance. Florida PIP pays 80% of covered medical expenses after your deductible: up to $10,000 if an MD, DO, dentist, PA or APRN determines you have an emergency medical condition, otherwise up to $2,500. If you’re pursuing a personal injury claim, treatment on a lien basis may also be an option — we’ll verify your coverage and walk you through it before care begins.

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.
