What to do after a car accident in Dayton: 6 steps
Follow these steps to protect your health and your claim, starting at the scene.
Make sure everyone is safe
Move to a safe spot if you can, turn on hazard lights, and call 911 if anyone is hurt.
Call the police
Ask for an accident report. Insurers and attorneys rely on it.
Document the scene
Photograph vehicles, plates, the road, and any visible injuries. Get witness names and numbers.
Exchange information
Trade names, phone numbers, insurance and license details with the other driver. Don’t admit fault.
Get evaluated within 72 hours
Even if you feel fine. Many injuries, like whiplash, appear days later. Call (937) 910-0463 for a same-day visit.
Notify your insurer and keep records
Report the claim, and keep every bill, record and note about your symptoms. We handle the medical paperwork for you.
Early care protects your health and your claim
Even a minor collision can cause serious injury. Whiplash and soft tissue damage often don’t show up for days, and waiting can make them worse.

Common questions about auto accident injuries
More questions? See our full FAQ or call (937) 910-0463.
How soon should I see a doctor after a car accident?
Within 24 to 72 hours is ideal, even if you don’t feel hurt. Many injuries, especially whiplash, take days to show symptoms, and a prompt evaluation creates the medical record your claim depends on.
Who pays for treatment after a car accident in Ohio?
Ohio is an at-fault state, so care is typically paid by the at-fault driver’s insurance, your own policy’s medical payments coverage, or through your attorney. Our team verifies your coverage and bills the right party directly, and qualifying claims have no out-of-pocket cost.
Can a chiropractor help with whiplash?
Yes. Chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy and soft tissue work are among the most effective non-surgical treatments for whiplash, reducing pain and restoring neck mobility.
What does attorney-ready documentation mean?
We keep detailed records of your injuries, symptoms, treatment and progress at every visit, so your attorney and insurer have clear, consistent evidence of what happened and how you’re recovering.
Do I need a lawyer to be treated?
No. You can be treated with or without an attorney. If you do have one, we coordinate with them directly. We can’t give legal advice, but we’ll make sure your medical records are thorough.
What if I can’t drive after my accident?
Our driver offers free transportation to and from your appointments. Just ask when you book.
