1.   Car accidents can not only cause damage to your vehicle, but also all occupants.   In fact, even if there is little damage to the car, it does not mean that you did not get injured.  In fact sometimes, the less damage to the car, the more force could have been on your body.

2.  Use the Emergency Room if you suspect a fracture, bleed, or other life threatening injury.  You are not required to go the the Emergency Room and often this type of evaluation is the most expensive leaving little insurance benefits to get the care you need to fix your injuries.  The ER though is not the ideal "first choice" for many common injuries to your back and neck.  In addition, most primary care doctors do not treat auto accident cases for their patients.  You may want to see an experienced practice that can handle these injuries like Synergy Oviedo Chiropractic.  

3.  Within each of your auto insurance policies are health benefits to provide you care, even if you were at fault or were a passenger.  This health benefit often has no deductibles or copays which means that you can get the help you need affordably.  

4.  You only have 14 days from the day of the crash to be evaluated.  Failure to see a doctor that accepts auto injury cases, like Synergy Oviedo Chiropractic, in a timely manner will cause you to lose your health benefits and the care you may need to get well.

5.    Do not minimize or ignore the need for a proper evaluation because you do not feel symptoms the day of the crash.  Often the symptoms may creep up hours to days later because adrenaline shuts off the pain.  Unfortunately, some people "ignore" their pain, hoping it will go away or other take pain medication only to cover it up.  Both scenarios do not address the problem and can result in you missing the 14 day window.

6.   Do not hold off on care for fear of insurance rate increases.  Insurance rates generally increase each year regardless of incidents.   It is a Florida law that you must carry this type of "health insurance" part of your car insurance and the doctors must use this insurance component when treating you for an auto accident.  We have insurance exactly for these type of unfortunate events.  Most rates do not change if you were not at fault.  But always remember, that cars and money can be replaced, you can not.   Your health is your most valuable asset and should always be your main focus.
