Types of accident injuries we treat in Florida

After an accident, two things matter most — getting the right care quickly and making sure it’s covered.

Complete Care treats auto accidents, slip-and-fall, and motor vehicle collisions involving pedestrians or bicyclists at 30+ Florida locations, with same-day appointments, no referral needed, and every specialty under one roof.

Florida’s PIP insurance requires patients to seek care within 14 days of an accident. Complete Care accepts PIP and handles the rest.

What types of accident injuries does Complete Care treat?

Complete Care is a fully integrated injury care system built around one goal — helping patients recover from accident injuries and return to the life they had before the accident.

Whether you were hurt in a car collision, a slip-and-fall accident, or in a motor vehicle accident as a pedestrian or bicyclist, the same coordinated, personalized care model applies.

Every patient receives a thorough evaluation, a treatment plan built around their specific injuries, and access to injury care, rehabilitation, and multiple services under one roof.

Car and auto accident injuries

Auto accidents are the most common reason patients come to Complete Care.

The force of a collision — even at low speeds — can cause a wide range of injuries, many of which don’t produce obvious symptoms at the scene.

Common car accident injuries treated at Complete Care include:

  • Whiplash and soft tissue injuries to the neck and back
  • Herniated and bulging discs
  • Spinal injuries
  • Concussions and traumatic brain injury
  • Neurological symptoms, including radiating pain, numbness, and dizziness
  • Extremity and joint injuries to the shoulder, knee, hip, wrist, and ankle
  • Chest and torso injuries from seatbelt and airbag impact

Slip-and-fall injuries

Slip-and-fall accidents can cause injuries that are just as significant as those from vehicle collisions — and just as likely to be underestimated at the scene.

Common injuries from slip-and-fall incidents include:

  • Spinal injuries
  • Joint and extremity trauma
  • Head injuries
  • Soft tissue damage

Complete Care provides the same coordinated, multi-disciplinary evaluation and treatment for slip-and-fall injuries as for auto accident patients — same-day access, no referral needed.

Pedestrian injuries from motor vehicle accidents

Pedestrians involved in motor vehicle accidents often experience serious injuries because they have little protection from the force of impact. These collisions can result in spinal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, fractures, and soft tissue damage.

Complete Care evaluates and treats injuries sustained when pedestrians are struck by motor vehicles, providing coordinated care that may include diagnostic imaging, rehabilitation, spine and orthopedic care, and other services based on each patient’s injuries and recovery needs.

Bicycle injuries from motor vehicle accidents

Bicyclists involved in motor vehicle accidents are vulnerable to serious injuries because they have limited protection during a collision. These crashes commonly result in head injuries, spinal injuries, fractures, road rash, and soft tissue damage.

Complete Care evaluates and treats injuries sustained in motor vehicle collisions involving bicyclists, providing coordinated care that may include diagnostic imaging, rehabilitation, spine and orthopedic care, and other services based on each patient’s injuries and recovery needs.

Why do accident injuries sometimes show up days later?

One of the most common reasons patients delay seeking care after an accident is that they feel fine immediately afterward. This is a well-documented physiological response, not a sign that no injury occurred.

During and immediately after an accident, the body releases adrenaline that suppresses pain signals. Soft tissue injuries, disc changes, and nerve compression develop gradually as inflammation progresses over the next 24 to 72 hours. Many patients wake up the day after a collision in significantly more pain than they experienced at the scene.

This delayed onset has real consequences for patients in Florida. Florida’s personal injury protection (PIP) insurance requires accident victims to seek medical evaluation within 14 days of the accident to access their full benefits. Waiting beyond that window, even by a day, can result in reduced or denied coverage for necessary care.

If you’ve been in an accident and are unsure whether you need to be seen, the answer is yes.

Same-day evaluations are available at all Complete Care locations. Call 844.699.2273.

What happens when you come to Complete Care after an accident?

Visiting Complete Care after an accident is straightforward. There is no complicated intake process, no referral required, and no need to coordinate between multiple providers before getting care.

Here’s what you can expect:

Comprehensive evaluation and diagnostic imaging

Your first visit begins with a thorough evaluation of your injuries — physical assessment, neurological screening, and a review of your accident history and symptoms.

When imaging is medically necessary, diagnostic imaging, including X-ray and MRI, is available on-site at Complete Care’s accredited facilities.

Your personalized treatment plan

After your evaluation, your care team develops a treatment plan tailored to your specific injuries, symptoms, recovery goals, and schedule.

Complete Care’s integrated model means that chiropractic care, rehabilitation, imaging, spine and orthopedic care, chiropractic neurology, and mental health services are all available within the same system — coordinated by providers who communicate directly with each other.

You leave your first appointment with a clear plan, not a stack of referrals.

Does Complete Care accept PIP insurance and other coverage?

Florida’s personal injury protection insurance is the primary coverage for most auto accident patients in the state.

PIP provides coverage for medically necessary treatment following a car accident, regardless of fault. Still, it requires patients to seek care within 14 days of the accident to access their full benefits.

Complete Care accepts PIP coverage and helps patients understand their benefits, what to expect from the claims process, and their out-of-pocket responsibility before care begins. Our team handles the insurance coordination so patients can focus on recovery, not paperwork.

If you were injured in an accident and are unsure whether your coverage applies, call us at 844.699.2273. Our team will help you understand your options before your first appointment.

Frequently asked questions

The most common car accident injuries treated at Complete Care include:

  • Whiplash
  • Herniated and bulging discs
  • Concussions and traumatic brain injury
  • Soft tissue injuries to the neck and back
  • Shoulder and knee injuries
  • Neurological symptoms such as radiating pain, dizziness, and numbness

Many of these injuries are not immediately apparent at the scene and may develop or worsen within 24 to 72 hours following impact.

Injury symptoms can appear immediately or develop gradually over days.

Adrenaline released during and after a collision masks pain signals. Many patients feel relatively fine at the scene and experience significant pain and stiffness the following morning.

Soft tissue injuries, disc-related symptoms, and neurological complaints are particularly prone to delayed onset.

If you develop new symptoms after an accident, even several days later, come in for an evaluation — walk-ins are welcome.
