Car Accidents

Car accidents—whether a catastrophic collision or a minor fender-bender—are always stressful and often traumatic. While some injuries are immediately obvious, many others can remain hidden for hours or even days. At Xpress Urgent Care, we want you to understand the importance of seeking prompt medical attention after an auto accident, even if you feel fine at first.

The Role of Adrenaline After a Car Accident

After a traumatic event like an auto accident, your body produces adrenaline and endorphins—natural chemicals that temporarily mask pain and injury. While you may feel okay immediately after the crash, symptoms often begin to surface once these chemicals wear off. Delaying medical care can lead to worsening injuries and longer recovery times.

Common Car Accident Injuries That May Not Show Symptoms Right Away

Even if you feel “okay,” it’s important to get evaluated immediately. Some injuries are silent but serious and can worsen without treatment:

• Whiplash – Neck stiffness, headaches, and pain can appear days later

• Sprains & Strains – Muscle and ligament damage may not be obvious

• Neck & Back Pain – Commonly delayed symptoms after rear-end collisions

• Bruising & Internal Bleeding – Potentially life-threatening if undetected

• Concussions – Dizziness, confusion, and memory issues may develop gradually

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) – Emotional effects can surface later 

Insurance Coverage and Florida’s 14-Day Rule

Financial worries should never prevent you from getting the care you need. In most cases, your visit is covered by your auto insurance policy, whether you were the driver, passenger, or pedestrian—and regardless of who was at fault.

However, Florida law requires you to seek medical treatment within 14 days of the accident to qualify for your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits. If you wait until the 15th day, your insurance company may deny coverage, leaving you responsible for the cost of your care.
