Hurt in a Car Accident? Your Insurance Already Covers Your Care.

You take care of healing. We take care of the rest.

Florida is a no-fault state. That means every driver is required to carry at least $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection, also called PIP. This is the coverage that pays for medical care after a car accident, and it pays whether you caused the crash or someone hit you.

You do not have to wait for fault to be decided. You do not have to fight with the other driver's insurance company. Your own PIP coverage is there to get you treated and on the road to recovery right away.

If you were injured in a car accident in DeLand, DeBary, Orange City, Deltona, or anywhere in West Volusia, your care here is most likely covered.

This is the part most people do not know, and it matters.

Under Florida law, you have to begin medical care within 14 days of your accident. If you wait longer than 14 days, you can lose your PIP coverage completely, even if your injuries are real and the accident was not your fault.

Seeing a chiropractor counts as starting care within that window. So the moment you feel stiffness, soreness, headaches, or pain after a crash, get in. One visit protects your health and your coverage at the same time.

Many accident injuries do not show up right away. Adrenaline hides pain in the first day or two. You can feel fine after a wreck and then wake up days later barely able to turn your neck. Some people show no symptoms at all at first — just because there is no pain does not mean there is no underlying injury. That is exactly why you should be checked even if you think you are okay.

Our doctors do not just chase the symptom. We use cutting-edge diagnostics, neurological assessment, and precise, drug-free chiropractic care to find what the accident actually damaged and help your body heal it. No surgery. No leaning on pain medication. Just careful, hands-on care built around how your nervous system works.

We make the insurance side simple so you can focus on getting better.

We work directly with your PIP coverage, document your injuries properly, and walk you through exactly what your policy covers before treatment begins. No surprises.

There is one Florida rule worth understanding. Your PIP coverage is limited to $2,500 unless a medical doctor confirms you have what the state calls an emergency medical condition. A chiropractor is not allowed to make that call alone. That is where our coordinated care matters. We work alongside neurologists, orthopedic physicians, pain specialists, and surgeons, so the right doctor can complete that evaluation and you keep access to your full benefits, up to the $10,000 limit.

Careful documentation also protects you if your situation ever involves an attorney or a claim down the road. We keep detailed records of your injuries and your recovery from the very first visit.

We are a neurologically based practice, which means we look deeper than a quick adjustment. After an accident, that matters. Crash injuries often involve the nervous system, not just the muscles, and missing that is how people end up with pain that never fully goes away.

Dr. Brad Shallow and Dr. Taneesha combine advanced training with real, personal care. You are not a number here. You are a neighbor. We have helped families across DeLand and West Volusia recover, and we treat every accident patient the way we would want our own family treated.
