What to do after a car accident
- Get to safety and call 911 if anyone is hurt. A police report helps your claim.
- Document the scene — photos, the other driver’s insurance, and witness info.
- See a doctor promptly, even if you feel “okay.” Many accident injuries surface hours or days later, and New York No-Fault requires your claim (form NF-2) to be filed within 30 days.
- Keep records of every visit, symptom, and missed workday.

Common car-accident injuries
Even a low-speed collision transfers significant force to the body. The injuries we see most:
Mass matters as much as speed: a collision with a tractor-trailer or box truck puts far more force through the same seat and belt than a car-on-car impact does.
- Whiplash and neck strain — the most common crash injury
- Back injuries, herniated and bulging discs
- Pinched nerves and sciatica
- Concussion and post-accident headaches
- Shoulder, knee, and joint injuries (including seatbelt injuries)
- Soft-tissue sprains, strains, and bruising
Why see a doctor even if you feel fine
Adrenaline after a crash can mask pain for hours or days. Whiplash, concussions, and disc injuries often have delayed symptoms — stiffness, headaches, dizziness, numbness, or tingling that appear later. An early evaluation catches these injuries before they worsen and creates the medical record your No-Fault claim relies on.
How we treat auto-accident injuries
After a physician evaluation and imaging (if needed), we build one coordinated plan across the specialties your recovery calls for:
- Orthopedic evaluation of musculoskeletal and joint injuries
- Chiropractic care for spine and soft-tissue injuries
- Physical therapy to restore strength and range of motion
- Pain management using non-surgical approaches
- Digital X-ray imaging on site for fast diagnosis
Your first visit
Bring a photo ID, your auto-insurance information, and any accident or police-report details. We’ll evaluate your injuries, image if indicated, start a treatment plan, and open your No-Fault claim — typically the same day.

Car accident doctor FAQ
How soon after a car accident should I see a doctor?
As soon as possible — ideally within a day or two. Early care protects your health and helps document injuries, and New York requires the No-Fault claim to be filed within 30 days.
I feel fine — do I still need to be checked?
Yes. Whiplash, concussions, and disc injuries often have delayed symptoms. An evaluation rules out hidden injuries and starts your medical record.
What will it cost me?
Care for accident injuries is billed to your New York No-Fault coverage, so eligible visits are typically $0 out of pocket. Coverage depends on your policy and claim.
Do I need an attorney to be treated?
No. You can be evaluated and treated without a lawyer. If you have one, we coordinate the records and documentation they request.
What should I bring?
Photo ID, auto-insurance information, and any accident or police-report details.

The mark the seat belt leaves
A belt does its job by concentrating crash force across the chest and hip. The bruise that follows can sit over a rib, breastbone or collarbone injury: see seat belt injuries after a car accident.
