Whiplash happens when a sudden jolt, most often a rear-end collision, snaps the head and neck back and forth faster than the muscles and ligaments can handle. The catch is that symptoms often show up a day or two later: neck stiffness, headaches, shoulder and upper-back pain, dizziness, even trouble sleeping. Getting evaluated early matters both for your recovery and for your insurance claim.
Florida's 14-day PIP rule
Florida's Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage generally requires you to begin treatment within 14 days of the accident to keep your benefits. Do not wait for the pain to "settle." Get checked this week. The injury check is free, and Florida PIP is designed to pay for accident care. We handle the paperwork, bill your auto insurer directly, and verify your benefits before treatment starts, so you can focus on healing. Coverage is subject to verification.
