## Do I Need to Go to the Doctor’s Office?

If you were injured in a car accident, seek medical attention within the first 14 days– even during a pandemic!  Recent times have been stressful enough – being in a car accident can add to the stress and leave you confused about which steps to take and in what order to take them.

In a normal world, we aren’t living under a stay at home order and fear doesn’t factor into our decision to seek medical treatment. The COVID-19 pandemic has many people afraid to seek any unrelated medical care – much less a car accident injury. However, many providers are offering Telephone Consultations to help schedule your first appointment within the first 14 days of your accident.

**If you are injured in an accident you need to seek medical attention within 14 days to preserve your PIP. **

1. Treatment is essential to your health as well as your case.
2. Even a minor impact can jar the body and cause injury. It is vital for you to seek medical care, in person, to receive PIP benefits, according to the Florida PIP 14-day rule.
3. Local urgent cares and emergency rooms are taking extra precautions to ensure that you and your loved ones are safe.
4. **Many providers are offering telehealth options to help schedule your first appointment within the first 14 days of your accident.**
