Your first visit
You may want to bring your ID, a list of medications, insurance information, and the crash report if you have one. A first visit generally includes a history, a neurological and orthopedic examination, and a plain-English explanation of the findings. Whether treatment begins that day depends on the exam. Read our guide on when to see a doctor after a crash if you're unsure.
Why time matters under Florida PIP
Florida law contains a 14-day initial-services rule for Personal Injury Protection after an auto accident. Whether benefits apply to you, in what amount, and whether a claim is paid depends on your policy, the facts of the crash, the providers involved, current law, and your insurer's decisions. This is general information, not legal or insurance advice — read the Florida PIP statute (627.736) and speak with your insurer or attorney.
