Car Accident Injury Doctors on Long Island
Injured in a car accident on Long Island? Whiplash, back, and joint injuries are common after a crash — and some show up days later. Our board-certified pain, spine, and orthopedic team treats crash injuries across Nassau and Suffolk County and documents them for your no-fault claim.
What to Do After a Crash on Long Island
See a doctor promptly — even if you feel only sore — because whiplash and soft-tissue injuries often surface a day or two later, and early records tie them to the accident. New York is a no-fault state, so your own auto policy’s Personal Injury Protection pays for reasonable and necessary medical care regardless of fault. The no-fault application (form NF-2) is generally due within 30 days, so timing matters. Learn more about how no-fault (PIP) benefits work, or read on for how we treat crash injuries.
Don’t wait to be seen. Prompt care protects both your recovery and your claim.
Crash Injuries We Treat
We commonly treat neck and whiplash injuries, herniated and bulging discs, shoulder and knee injuries, sprains and strains, and pinched or irritated nerves after rear-end, intersection, and highway collisions across Long Island. Neck, back, or joint pain after a crash deserves evaluation even if it starts days later.
How We Treat Accident and Work Injuries
We start with the least invasive option that can solve the problem and only step up if needed. For many injuries that means physical therapy and targeted medication first, then image-guided injections such as epidural steroid injections or radiofrequency ablation when appropriate, and minimally invasive spine or orthopedic procedures — like knee arthroscopy or rotator cuff repair — only when conservative care is not enough. Common injuries we treat include herniated and bulging discs, neck and whiplash injuries, sprains and strains, joint injuries, and pinched or irritated nerves.
Where We Serve on Long Island
No-fault claims move faster when you see a specialist who knows the process. You can be seen close to home at one of our Long Island offices: Plainview and New Hyde Park in Nassau County, and Ronkonkoma in Suffolk County. Because interventional pain management, spine, and orthopedics are all under one roof, you can move between specialists without a separate referral.
What to Expect
Your first visit starts with a full evaluation and imaging when needed. We open and document your no-fault claim, submit the required forms, and keep detailed records for any injury claim you pursue against the at-fault driver. If your crash happened while you were working, ask about combining it with your workers’ compensation options.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does no-fault cover my treatment if the crash was my fault?
Yes. New York no-fault (PIP) pays for reasonable and necessary medical care after a car accident regardless of who was at fault, up to your policy limits.
How long do I have to file a no-fault claim in New York?
The no-fault application is generally due within 30 days of the accident. Seeing a doctor and starting the paperwork early helps protect your benefits.
My pain started a few days after the crash — should I still come in?
Yes. Whiplash and soft-tissue injuries often appear later. Get evaluated promptly and have the injury documented as accident-related.
Do I need a lawyer to be treated after a car accident?
No. You do not need an attorney for no-fault medical care. For a claim against the at-fault driver, an attorney can advise you separately.
