Which no-fault car accident injuries do I have?

To find out which type of car accident injury you may have, your Doctors United specialist asks about your accident history, medical history, symptoms, and medication regimen. They weigh you and check your pulse, blood pressure, and other vital signs before completing a physical exam. 

During the exam, your provider evaluates your eyes, ears, nose, throat, breathing, heartbeat, abdomen, and limbs. They may recommend you undergo blood tests, X-rays, an MRI, a CT scan, or another imaging procedure to make a final diagnosis and develop an effective treatment.

What are the common treatments for no-fault car accidents?

Based on the type of injury you have and its severity, the Doctors United experts might recommend one or more of the following treatments:

• Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE)
• Bracing, splinting, or casting
• Wound care
• Fracture care
• Activity modification
• Medications
• Physical therapy
• Joint injections
• Chiropractic care
• Physical medicine and rehabilitation
• Specialist referrals

Your accident injury provider might refer you to a specialist if you have a complex medical problem and need surgery or another invasive treatment.

They follow up with you to ensure you get the treatment needed to reduce pain and speed up your recovery. The Doctors United specialists fill out the paperwork necessary to help you get insurance reimbursement for no-fault car accidents.
