How soon after the accident should I come in?

Within 48 hours is ideal. Symptoms often appear 24-72 hours after impact. Early documentation strengthens your insurance claim and prevents chronic injury.

Do I need a lawyer to get treated?

No. You can come directly without a lawyer. If you need one later, we can refer you to trusted personal injury attorneys in Elizabeth.

What if I don't feel pain right away?

That's common. Adrenaline masks pain after an accident. Get checked anyway. Whiplash, soft tissue damage, and disc injuries often show up days later.

Will you handle the insurance paperwork?

Yes. We manage all PIP billing, documentation, and correspondence with your insurance company. You focus on healing.

What injuries do you treat after car accidents?

Whiplash, back pain, neck pain, headaches, shoulder pain, herniated discs, soft tissue injuries, and radiating pain down arms or legs.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Elizabeth, NJ

If you were in a car accident in Elizabeth or anywhere in Union County, getting checked by a chiropractor within 48 hours is critical. Many injuries from car accidents don't show symptoms right away. Whiplash, soft tissue damage, and disc herniations can take 24 to 72 hours to appear. By the time you feel it, the damage is harder to treat.

At Pain Center of Morris, we see car accident patients the same day they call. Our exam includes a full spinal assessment, neurological testing, range of motion evaluation, and X-rays if needed. We document everything from the first visit. This medical record is essential for your PIP insurance claim.

New Jersey PIP (Personal Injury Protection) insurance covers up to $250,000 in medical treatment after a car accident. We bill your PIP directly. You pay nothing out of pocket for covered care. No copays. No deductibles on PIP claims. We handle all the insurance paperwork.
