FAQs on Car Accidents

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CAR ACCIDENT TREATMENT

  • How long do you have to see a doctor after an auto accident?

    For insurance purposes, you generally have 72 hours to see a doctor after an auto accident for your car insurance to cover medical costs. This is the time that most insurance companies give before your compensation is at risk. Receiving care from  NexGen Medical Centers is considered the same as seeing a doctor for insurance purposes.

  • How long will I be sore after a car accident?

    This will depend entirely on the nature of your injuries. Most cuts and bruises will heal after a few days. Generally, whiplash symptoms last for 2 to 3 months if left untreated. By getting auto accident physical therapy, your symptoms could go down much more quickly.

  • Should you go to the doctor after a minor car accident?

    It might seem like a minor car accident to you, but car accidents cause a heightened level of arousal which generates adrenaline. This adrenaline can keep you from feeling pain. Seeing a doctor just in case can help identify potential injuries that could get worse if left untreated.

  • What pain management options are there after a car accident?

    If you’ve gotten into a car accident and are now experiencing chronic pain because of your injuries, it’s never too late to start auto accident physical therapy. At NexGen, we provide regenerative medicine, including cutting-edge treatments like PRP for more serious injuries.
