Why is it so important to get checked out after a motor vehicle accident?  

If you do not seek treatment for your injuries within 14 days after your motor vehicle accident, then your auto insurance company will not pay your medical bills. This does not depend on how badly you are hurt, you will be barred from the PIP or Personal Injury Protection coverage under the policy.

Everyone in the State of Florida by law must purchase PIP when they buy auto insurance.

If you are injured in a motor vehicle accident in the State of Florida your PIP insurance is primary. We live in a “no fault” state. This means that regardless of fault, our own auto insurance pays 80 percent of the first $10,000 (reasonable expenses for medically necessary medical, surgery, X-ray, dental and rehabilitative services, including prosthetic devices and medically necessary ambulance, hospital, and nursing services) of medical and disability bills, $5,000 in death benefits.
