Auto Accidents

Been injured in an Auto Accident? Call our office today to schedule an injury evaluation. Symptoms arising from injuries sustained in motor vehicle accidents were once thought to present immediately following the accident. However, research and clinic experience now demonstrate that a delay of symptom onset seems to be the norm. Also, delay of symptom onset does not eliminate the possibility of severe injury.

We can increase your chances for a full recovery. If you have been in an auto accident you should be evaluated to see in you have sustained an injury. Dr. Tomsin will evaluate your injury to determine if he can help. Frequently people think they will just heal over time but often, without proper care, the pain will come back, in some cases many years later.
Our staff is very knowledgeable in dealing with insurance companies. We bill directly so you can just focus on getting well.

Auto Accident Tips

• Seek treatment as soon as possible.
• If you are still experiencing pain and discomfort a few days to a couple weeks later, than you should come to our office to find out if you have any structural damage. NOTE: The longer you wait after an accident to come to our office, typically the longer it takes to get you better.
• Most auto insurance companies have what is called Med Pay. This means that your bills will be paid up to 100% up to a certain limit.
• If the accident was not your fault. The other party’s insurance should cover your health care expenses in our office. We do all of the paperwork for you.
• At the accident scene, get as much information on the other driver or drivers as possible. An accident report by Police is always helpful, but not required to have a case.
• You should never settle with an insurance company before you have been evaluated. If you settle before your injury is fully resolved, you will be completely on your own and will have to pay out of pocket for your care.
• Dealing with insurance companies can be difficult after an accident. We have a number of reputable and highly qualified Attorneys who we can refer you to for a complimentary consultation. Hiring a reputable Attorney essentially takes you out of the direct bargaining process with the insurance company and all the paperwork and phone calls associated with that and lets you concentrate on healing.
• Injuries sustained after a car-accident if left untreated can lead to spinal degeneration and a host of other problems for years to come.

FINAL NOTE: We find that many people involved in an auto accident that WAS THEIR FAULT never get treatment. This tends to be due to the fear that their insurance will go up after a claim is filed.
Your PIP (Personal Injury Protection) is a no fault policy. By law, your insurance premiums can’t go up if you make a claim under your PIP coverage. Your PIP coverage exits to provide you with a ready source of funds to immediately pay your collision related medical expenses.
