Accident Doctors Naples, FL

Accidents are just that

Accidents are unfortunate but they pretty much happen to everyone at one point in life. Whether you are the driver of a car or simply the passenger on a bus, many accidents are unavoidable. In fact, research shows a growing number of Uber accidents over the past few years. Regardless of how the crash happened, you are responsible for scheduling medical treatment. 

While many accidents are not serious, otherwise known as a “Fender Bender”, the physical injuries can be more serious. Data has shown that collisions at speeds of only 5 MPH can lead to long term chronic pain. Injuries such as back pain, neck pain or shoulder pain can last for years. 

Prevention Can Save Lives

The best accident is the one that never happened. Make sure you are not distracted while driving. Items such as cell phones make up, computers, and of course children, lead to distracted driving. Of course, every accident victim will agree that they would do things differently afterwards. Maybe pay more attention, move away from another distracted driver, or perhaps choose not to drive late at night or in adverse conditions. Oftentimes, distracted driving comes with a simple text from your child or coworker. 

We have all seen the All State Insurance commercial where “mayhem” is a cell phone sliding around on the floor. We all want to reach down or take that quick look at the text. These relatively minor decisions lead to hundreds of accidents every year. Weather is another factor to consider when it comes to distracted driving. 

Many drivers experience stress while driving in snow or rain. Oftentimes drivers experience lack of vision, icy roads or heavy winds.  These conditions are the perfect environment for accidents. Prevention is always the best cure.

Night Driving and Car Wrecks

Another common factor involving accidents is night driving. Night driving limits visibility and oftentimes reduces reaction time. We recommend using both hands at all times when driving, especially at night or in adverse conditions. In addition, many patients report the have weak vision during night driving, leading to a crash.

How your health affects Car Accident Injuries

If you are in good physical health then your chances of injury decrease after a collision. Additionally, flexibility and muscle strength will help you recover from your whiplash Injuries. Of course, we never know when a collision will happen. However, we can all work to maintain good health to handle any medical emergency.

Emergency Services

The medical staff, and doctors at a hospital or urgent care may have the equipment and staff to handle your injuries; however, they may not accept pip or no fault Insurance. In addition, our auto accident doctor team will include the needed documentation for your personal injury claim. Family care doctors generally do not accept no fault insurance claims. 

PCP

We always recommend that you contact your family doctor to inform them of your injuries. This will help them treat you in the future. Your PCP will most likely tell you to see a qualified Car Accident Doctor in Naples who accepts no and pip Insurance. Your PCP just isn’t equipped to bill no fault insurance.
