If you have been injured in an accident that was caused by someone else's negligence, getting the right medical care quickly is one of the most important steps you can take, both for your health and for any legal proceedings that may follow.
Dr. Frank Stiso at Stiso Chiropractic, Acupuncture & Massage Therapy in Manasquan, NJ has extensive experience treating personal injury patients and is highly proficient in New Jersey PIP laws and the personal injury insurance process.
What Is a Personal Injury Case?
A personal injury case arises when someone is injured as a result of another party's negligence or wrongdoing.
Common personal injury scenarios that result in chiropractic care include:
-
Auto accidents
-
Slip and fall accidents
-
Workplace injuries
-
Sports or recreational accidents involving third party liability Pedestrian accidents
-
In many personal injury cases the injuries are musculoskeletal in nature, involving the spine, joints, muscles, and soft tissues. These are exactly the types of injuries that chiropractic care is designed to address.
Why Prompt Treatment Matters
One of the most important things personal injury patients need to understand is that delaying treatment can hurt both their recovery and their case. Insurance companies and defense attorneys routinely argue that a gap in treatment indicates the injuries were not serious. Seeking care promptly after an accident creates an accurate medical record that documents the nature and extent of your injuries from the outset.
Beyond the legal implications, prompt treatment simply produces better outcomes. Injuries that are addressed early respond better to conservative care and are less likely to develop into chronic conditions.
Common Personal Injury Conditions We Treat
Whiplash and cervical spine injuries Lumbar disc herniations Thoracic and lumbar sprains and strains Nerve compression and radiculopathy Shoulder and rotator cuff injuries Knee and joint injuries Headaches following head or neck trauma Soft tissue injuries throughout the spine and extremities
Understanding New Jersey PIP and Personal Injury Coverage
New Jersey operates as a no-fault insurance state, meaning your own auto insurance policy includes Personal Injury Protection coverage that pays for medical treatment regardless of fault. Dr. Stiso is well versed in the specifics of New Jersey PIP coverage, including the documentation requirements, treatment authorization processes, and the distinctions between different levels of PIP coverage that affect what care is available to you.
For non-auto personal injury cases, treatment is typically covered through a letter of protection or by the at-fault party's liability insurance. Our staff is experienced in working with personal injury attorneys and insurance adjusters to make sure your care is properly documented and covered.
