You need an accident doctor, not a waiting room, not a referral, not a phone tree. At Icon Medical Centers, our licensed accident injury doctors are available to help you. Call us today to start your recovery. Florida law gives you only 14 days after a car accident to begin treatment and protect your PIP benefits. Don’t wait.
Schedule an appointment with Icon Medical and get the best accident doctor in Florida. Our team of licensed osteopathic doctors can help treat and provide holistic pain management for a variety of injuries. On top of our excellent treatments, we also offer various great services that make it easier and more comfortable to get the treatment you need.
As a medical clinic, we also accept a wide range of insurance and coverages. If you are going through your auto insurance instead of a health care insurance company, it is important to keep a note of the time limit. In Florida, you have 14 days to start treatment, so remember to book an appointment with our team as soon as you have an auto accident.
You are guaranteed this coverage if you are going through your car insurance, and by calling in early, we can get you started with your treatment with time to spare. You’ll have access to medical doctors, a licensed chiropractor, and our full-service, highly recommended clinic.
What Is an Accident Doctor?
An accident doctor is a licensed medical professional trained to diagnose, document, and treat injuries caused by car accidents, slip and falls, workplace accidents, and other personal injury events. Unlike a general practitioner, an accident injury doctor understands the specific trauma patterns caused by collision forces and how to document injuries properly for insurance and legal purposes.
At Icon Medical Centers, our accident doctors are board-certified physicians and specialists who work together under one roof. When you see a car injury doctor at Icon, you are not getting a generalist’s guess; you are getting a coordinated evaluation from specialists who treat accident injuries every day.
Why You Need to See a Car Injury Doctor Within 14 Days
Florida law is clear. Under Florida Statute §627.7407, every driver is required to carry at least $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance. But this coverage only applies if you see an accident doctor within 14 days of your accident.
Miss that window? Your PIP benefits are gone and you may be left paying out of pocket for injuries that your insurance was supposed to cover.
What Accident Injuries Can We Help With?
There are many types of injuries that a chiropractic physician can help with. Where chiropractic care is not enough, we also offer physical therapy treatments like heat therapy or massage therapy. For those with very specific, intense pain, we even have a variety of pain-managing injections.
Auto Accident Injuries
Come to us after a car accident. Do this immediately if you were able to go home after your accident or wait until after you have been discharged from receiving urgent medical attention at a hospital.
Velocity and the sheer weight of vehicles mean that even minor accidents can cause serious, lasting issues without the right treatment, and that is what we are here for. All you need is to call or make an appointment online with our team to get started with your treatment.
Boating Accident Injuries
Of course, we have a chiropractor in Florida that can handle boating and other water sports accident injuries. It’s a lot of fun out there on the water but hit the wave wrong or fall off from your boat or jet ski, and you could be dealing with some stiffness and pain before you know it. Our Florida chiropractors and physical therapists are here to help erase that stiffness and get you back out on the water as good as new.
Sports Accident Injuries
The fact is if you have been injured enjoying any physical activity, like a sport, it’s important to seek medical treatment from a Florida chiropractor. As a full-service accident doctor, however, we can do more than treat back injuries. Joint injuries, sprains, twists, and even secondary recovery for things like breaks are all within our ability.
Slip and Fall Injuries
Slip and fall injuries are very common and are very likely to become chronic pain without the right treatment. Don’t let a fall down the stairs mean that you suffer from acute low back pain for life. That isn’t the way that it should be. With our team, we can help you get back up to your normal.
Workplace Injuries
A workplace accident injury can look like a slip and fall accident, and it can be a car accident; it could be exceptionally serious if machinery malfunctioned when you were on your job. Come to us immediately, or after your doctor has cleared you, and we will work to rehabilitate your body. Not only that, but we are also here if you are pushing a compensation claim.
Need Urgent Medical Attention?
If you were wounded, or broke a bone, or need emergency services in any way, know that we are here for you after you have been discharged by your primary care team. We will adjust and tweak our treatments to help you manage your pain and even improve your recovery time. As we always work and adjust your treatment plan as you recover, you can rest assured that you will be 100% satisfied with the service.

Accident Doctor in Miami — Common Questions
What does an accident doctor do?
An accident doctor diagnoses and treats injuries caused by car accidents, slip and falls, and other trauma events.
Do I need an appointment to see an accident doctor at Icon Medical?
Yes. But we will help you with same day appoinments if is possible.
What is the difference between an accident doctor and a regular doctor?
A regular doctor treats general health conditions. An accident injury doctor specializes in trauma caused by collisions and falls, understands how to identify delayed-onset injuries like whiplash or herniated discs, and knows how to document injuries for insurance.
How soon should I see a car injury doctor after an accident?
As soon as possible, and no later than 14 days after the accident. Florida Statute §627.7407 requires you to see a medical professional within 14 days to qualify for your PIP benefits. Waiting longer forfeits your coverage.
What injuries can a car injury doctor treat?
Our car injury doctors treat whiplash, herniated discs, back pain, neck pain, spinal injuries, concussions, joint injuries, soft tissue damage, fractures (post-ER clearance), and more. All specialists are available under one roof, no referrals needed.
Is Icon Medical Centers accredited?
Yes. Icon Medical Centers is nationally accredited by The Joint Commission—the same organization that accredits hospitals. This is the highest level of accreditation available to a medical clinic and is a direct measure of our quality standards.
