According to the CDC, roughly three million people are injured in an auto accident each year. Alarmingly, the majority of these accidents occur in Florida. What’s more, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles reports that Volusia County ranks among the top ten counties with the most motor vehicle accidents. That’s out of all 67 counties. These numbers are staggering and emblematic of the discomfort many endure as a result of these accidents.
If you’ve been in an auto accident, it’s important to seek an immediate assessment by qualified medical professionals to evaluate and diagnose your injuries. Some injuries are immediately apparent, but others take longer to appear––like stomach pain; which could suggest internal injuries, but take days or weeks to present. That’s why it’s essential to seek an evaluation with a pain specialist immediately after an auto accident, even if it was a minor one. Florida also has a limited time-frame for compensating your injuries under Personal Injury Protection insurance, so it is vital not to wait. At Coastal Pain & Neurology Centers, our clinics are equipped with the latest, state-of-the art diagnostic tools and specialists, which makes it easy to identify injuries you might not be aware of and offer a variety of conservative, minimally invasive treatments to restore your quality of life. We accept all auto insurances and work with both plaintiffs and defense.
