If you’ve recently been involved in a car accident in Sunrise, Florida, you may feel fine at first — but injuries such as whiplash, neck pain, and lower back pain often appear hours or even days later.

At Align Chiropractic Center in Sunrise, FL, Dr. Michael Parzych provides chiropractic care for patients recovering from auto accident injuries throughout Broward County.

Here’s what you should do after a car accident in Florida:

Seek Medical Care Within 14 Days

Florida law requires accident victims to seek medical treatment within 14 days in order to qualify for Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits. Waiting too long could prevent coverage of your medical bills.

Even if symptoms seem mild, it is important to be evaluated. Pain can show up days or even months after an accident.

Watch for Delayed Symptoms

Common car accident injuries include:

• Whiplash
• Neck pain
• Headaches
• Lower back pain
• Shoulder pain
• Muscle stiffness
• Numbness or tingling

Symptoms may not appear immediately.

Understand Your PIP Coverage

Florida drivers carry $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection coverage. This can cover medical care related to your accident regardless of fault.

At Align Chiropractic Center, we help patients understand their benefits and provide proper documentation for insurance and attorneys.

Early Chiropractic Care Can Improve Recovery

Chiropractic adjustments help restore spinal alignment, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility after trauma.

Many patients experience:
• Reduced pain
• Improved range of motion
• Faster recovery
