Why Jacksonville accident patients choose Meridian
Your recovery, step by step.
Common car accident injuries we treat
Even low-speed collisions push the body through forces it is not built to absorb. We examine and treat the full range of accident injuries.
Whiplash and neck strain. Herniated or bulging discs. Soft tissue sprains. Low back pain from the impact. Shoulder and upper back injuries. Headaches that start after the crash. Sciatica triggered by trauma. Pinched nerves that send numbness or tingling into the arms or legs.
Why you might feel fine today and hurt tomorrow
Adrenaline masks pain for hours after a crash. Swelling in strained muscles and ligaments builds over the next day or two. That is why so many people wake up the morning after an accident with a stiff neck, a headache, or low back pain they did not feel at the scene.
Waiting to see if it goes away costs you twice. The injured tissue stiffens, your body starts moving around the pain, and the 14-day PIP window keeps running. An exam in the first few days answers the question either way.
Rear-end, side-impact, and rideshare crashes
Rear-end collisions are the classic whiplash crash: the body is pushed forward while the head lags behind, then snaps forward. Side-impact crashes load the neck and mid-back sideways and often injure the shoulder that hits the door. We see both every week.
Riding in an Uber or Lyft, or driving for one? The injuries are the same. Coverage can involve your own PIP, the rideshare company's policy, or both. Bring whatever claim information you have and we will help you sort out the next step.
What your first visit looks like
We start with how the crash happened: where you were sitting, which direction the impact came from, and what you have felt since. Then a full exam: range of motion, orthopedic tests, and a neurological screen of reflexes, strength, and sensation. If the exam calls for imaging, we arrange it.
You leave knowing what is injured, what we are going to do about it, and how often we expect to see you. Treatment usually starts that same day. Every finding goes into your record from the first visit, which is exactly what your insurer and your attorney will ask for.
