🩺 Choosing the Right Doctor After a Accident in Missouri

Missouri Accident Doctors

If you’ve been injured in a car, truck, motorcycle or other vehicle accident in Missouri, see a doctor who specializes in auto-injury care. Our Missouri accident doctors work with attorneys, bill auto-insurance and provide the documentation needed so your attorney can link your injuries to the wreck.

🚑 Common Conditions Our Doctors Treat

  • 🦴 Neck Pain & Whiplash – Often caused by the sudden back-and-forth motion of a crash. Whiplash can result in stiffness, headaches and reduced mobility, sometimes with delayed onset.
  • 🩹 Back Pain – Car or truck accidents frequently cause muscle strains, spinal misalignments or herniated discs. Early treatment helps avoid chronic issues.
  • 💪 Shoulder Pain – Seatbelt strain or collision impact can lead to soft tissue tears, nerve compression or joint injuries. Our doctors restore motion and relieve pain.
  • 🤕 Headaches, Dizziness or Nausea – These symptoms may signal a concussion or mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). Our physicians provide thorough assessment and follow-up.
  • ⚙️ Stiffness & Limited Range of Motion – Post-collision inflammation or spasms may restrict movement. Physical therapy and chiropractic care can restore flexibility.
  • 🦵 Broken Bones & Fractures – Even “minor” collisions can cause fractures that require immediate evaluation and stabilization.
  • Numbness or Tingling in Arms or Legs – May indicate nerve or spinal injury, particularly after rear-end collisions. Prompt evaluation is critical.
  • 🔄 Soft Tissue Injuries – Sprains, strains and ligament tears are common after crashes, and if untreated they can lead to long-term discomfort.

💳 Billing & Insurance


Here’s how medical billing typically works after an Missouri accident:

  • 📄 Attorney Liens / Letters of Protection (LOP) – Many clinics accept attorney liens or LOPs. Under Missouri law, a medical provider may place a lien on your personal injury settlement.
  • 💰 MedPay / Medical Payments Coverage – Although not always required, this optional coverage can help you pay medical bills regardless of fault.
  • 🚗 Auto Insurance & Liability Claims – If another driver caused your accident, their liability insurance may cover your medical expenses. We help document your injuries for insurance and legal purposes.
  • 🏥 Health Insurance – If available, your health insurance may serve as secondary coverage for accident-related healthcare.
  • ⚠️ Important Note on LiensMissouri statute limits how much medical lien providers can claim from your settlement.

FAQ

🩺 Do I need to see a doctor even if I don’t feel hurt after the accident?

Yes. Many car accident injuries, especially soft tissue damage like whiplash, can take hours or even days to show symptoms. Getting evaluated immediately can prevent long-term complications and ensure your injuries are properly documented for your personal injury claim.

Yes. We accept all forms of auto insurance that offer Med Pay (Medical Payments) or PIP (Personal Injury Protection). If you’re working with an attorney, we also accept attorney liens so you can receive care with no out-of-pocket cost upfront

please bring:

  • Your auto insurance claim number (if available)
  • Police/accident report
    Valid ID
  • Any attorney contact information (if applicable)


Don’t worry if you don’t have everything, we can still help get the process started.

Ideally, you should be evaluated within 72 hours of your accident. This not only improves your chances for a full recovery but also strengthens your case if you’re filing a personal injury claim. Delays in treatment may allow insurance companies to question the legitimacy of your injuries

Absolutely. If you don’t already have an attorney, we can refer you to a trusted personal injury lawyer who works on contingency and can help you with your claim. Initial consultations are always free.

Our accident doctors treat a wide range of injuries, including:

  • Whiplash and neck pain
  • Back injuries and herniated discs
  • Soft tissue damage
  • Headaches, dizziness, and concussions
  • Numbness or tingling in limbs
  • Shoulder and joint pain

Your first visit includes:

  • A detailed medical evaluation
  • Review of accident history and symptoms
  • Diagnostic testing (as needed)
  • A personalized treatment plan tailored to your injuries

 

We begin treatment the same day whenever possible.

No, you do not need health insurance. If your car insurance includes Med Pay or PIP, we’ll bill them directly. If you’re working with an attorney, we treat under a medical lien, so you won’t pay anything out of pocket upfront.

Most health insurance wont pay for accident care or you will be refused treatment

Treatment duration depends on the type and severity of your injuries. Some patients recover in a few weeks, while others require several months. We regularly evaluate your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed to help you recover as quickly and safely as possible
