Whiplash, herniated discs, nerve compression, and soft tissue injuries from a collision need more than a referral slip. At Novaré Injury Care and Rehab, a board-certified MD and an IME-certified doctor of chiropractic examine, diagnose, and document your injuries in Fort Myers so you can access your full PIP benefits and build a stronger legal case.
Yes. Even if you feel fine at the scene. Adrenaline can mask whiplash, disc injuries, and nerve damage for hours or days. In Florida, you have 14 days from the date of your accident to see a qualifying medical provider or risk losing your PIP benefits entirely. Not reduced. Denied.
