If you were injured in a car accident in Land O' Lakes, you have 14 days to seek medical care. Under Florida's no-fault (PIP) law, accident victims who wait longer than 14 days to be evaluated can lose access to their Personal Injury Protection benefits — up to $10,000 in coverage.
Good news: we bill your PIP insurance directly and work with personal injury attorneys — your billing and claim paperwork are handled for you.

Land O' Lakes is our closest neighbor to the north — a Pasco County community named for the many lakes scattered across its landscape, and one that has grown steadily as Tampa's suburbs pushed northward.
When a collision happens here, the people involved need care quickly — and they need a provider who understands accident injuries specifically. From our clinic in Lutz, about 8 miles north of Land O' Lakes via US 41 or the Suncoast Parkway, Dr. Jason Hunt treats whiplash and auto injuries for patients across Pasco County and the wider Tampa Bay region.
Dr. Hunt holds a Certification in Whiplash Biomechanics and Treatment from the Spine Research Institute of San Diego (2018) — training focused specifically on the mechanics of collision injuries — and has helped more than 1,000 Tampa Bay accident patients recover over nine years of practice.
SR 54 crosses US 41 (Land O' Lakes Boulevard) here, and that junction carries a large share of east–west Pasco traffic. SR 54 runs 38 miles from US 19 near Tarpon Springs east to US 301 in Zephyrhills, making it the county's primary cross-county route. The Suncoast Parkway provides a high-speed alternative to I-75 for commuters heading into Tampa.
The corridors we most often hear about from Land O' Lakes accident patients:
Because Land O' Lakes is only about eight miles from our clinic, accident patients from this community can typically be seen the same day they call — which matters when Florida's 14-day window is running.
The most common mistake accident victims make is waiting. In the minutes after a crash your body floods with adrenaline and endorphins, which suppress pain remarkably well — this is why people routinely walk away from serious collisions reporting no discomfort at all. As that response fades over the following hours and days, the real injuries surface.
There's a second reason not to wait. Untreated soft-tissue injuries don't simply resolve; scar tissue forms, movement patterns change to compensate, and a treatable injury can settle into chronic pain. Early, targeted care is often the difference between a few weeks of recovery and a problem you manage for years.
Proximity genuinely matters after an accident. Florida's 14-day window creates real time pressure, and patients who have to arrange a long drive to an unfamiliar provider often delay. Land O' Lakes residents can typically be examined the same day they call, which means treatment begins while the injury is still acute and most responsive to care.
Your first visit begins with a thorough neuromusculoskeletal examination and a detailed history of the accident itself — direction of impact, head position, seatbelt and airbag deployment. These details shape the treatment plan. Digital X-rays are taken on-site when clinically indicated.
Treatment draws on the full range of drug-free methods available in our office:

There is a clinical reason we emphasize speed beyond the legal deadline. In the first 72 hours after a collision, soft-tissue injury is in its acute inflammatory phase — swelling is active, muscle guarding is setting in, and the tissue has not yet begun laying down scar. Treatment during this window works with the body's healing process rather than against established dysfunction.
Wait three weeks and the picture changes. Protective muscle patterns have become habitual, fascial restrictions have formed, and compensatory movement has spread the problem to adjacent joints. The same injury now takes considerably longer to resolve. For Land O' Lakes patients eight miles from our door, that early window is genuinely accessible — which is a real advantage.
Land O' Lakes drivers carry PIP coverage that applies after any collision on SR 54, US 41, or the Suncoast Parkway — regardless of fault. One of the biggest sources of stress after a collision has nothing to do with your injuries — it's the fear of bills arriving while you're trying to heal. We remove that concern.
We handle the insurance paperwork. Hunt Holistic Chiropractic bills your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance directly, so your accident care is processed through the coverage you already carry under Florida's no-fault law.
We also work directly with personal injury attorneys. If you are represented, or decide to be, we coordinate with your attorney's office and provide the detailed clinical documentation your claim depends on — exam findings, imaging, diagnosis, treatment notes, and progress records.
Questions about coverage? Call (813) 575-3550 — we'll walk you through it.
Here's what that means practically. Under Florida's no-fault system, your own auto policy carries Personal Injury Protection coverage — typically up to $10,000 — regardless of who caused the crash. That coverage exists specifically to pay for medical care after an accident. We bill your PIP carrier directly, so treatment can begin without you having to navigate the claim process yourself.
If you are working with a personal injury attorney, we coordinate with their office throughout your care. Attorneys need thorough, contemporaneous clinical records from a qualified provider, and that is exactly what Dr. Hunt produces: examination findings, digital imaging where indicated, a documented diagnosis, the treatment plan, and progress notes at every stage. Well-documented care by a chiropractor with accident-specific credentials carries real weight.
Because we're only about eight miles away, Land O' Lakes patients can often be examined the same day they call, well inside the 14-day PIP window. Remember that the 14-day window still applies — PIP benefits are only accessible if you are evaluated within 14 days of the crash.
After an accident, careful documentation matters for both your health and any claim you may pursue. Dr. Hunt records examination findings, imaging, diagnosis, treatment plan, and progress at every stage. Objective records created by a licensed provider with accident-specific training carry real weight — and they protect you far better than memory does months later.

As soon as possible, and no later than 14 days. Florida's no-fault (PIP) law requires accident victims to seek medical care within 14 days of the crash or they can forfeit up to $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection benefits. Medically, earlier is better too: whiplash and soft-tissue injuries are often masked by adrenaline and may not surface for 24 to 72 hours. Hunt Holistic Chiropractic offers same-day and next-day appointments for Land O' Lakes accident patients. Call (813) 575-3550.
Yes. Hunt Holistic Chiropractic bills your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance directly for car accident patients. Under Florida's no-fault law, your own auto policy carries PIP coverage — typically up to $10,000 — regardless of who caused the crash, and that coverage exists specifically to pay for medical care. Rather than asking you to pay and seek reimbursement, we bill your carrier directly so care can start immediately. Note that PIP benefits are only accessible if you are evaluated within 14 days of the accident. Call (813) 575-3550.
Yes. We work directly with personal injury attorneys and coordinate with their offices throughout your care. Attorneys need thorough, contemporaneous clinical records from a qualified provider, and Dr. Hunt documents every stage: examination findings, digital imaging where clinically indicated, diagnosis, treatment plan, and progress notes. His Certification in Whiplash Biomechanics and Treatment from the Spine Research Institute of San Diego (2018) means that documentation comes from a provider with accident-specific credentials. If you are not yet represented, you are under no obligation to be. Call (813) 575-3550.

Whiplash is the most common, followed by disc bulges and herniations, post-accident headaches, lower back pain and sciatica, shoulder and wrist injuries from bracing against the wheel, and TMJ pain. Given the traffic patterns along US 41 (Land O' Lakes Boulevard) and SR 54, rear-end collisions account for a large share of the cases we treat from the Land O' Lakes area.
Yes. Feeling fine immediately after a collision is common and misleading, because adrenaline suppresses pain for hours or even days. Injuries that go unevaluated can form scar tissue and settle into chronic pain. An early examination also creates a documented record from the outset, which protects you if you later pursue a claim.
Bring a photo ID, your auto insurance information, the police or accident report number if you have one, and any prior imaging such as ER X-rays or CT scans. Write down the date of the crash, how the collision happened, and when each symptom first appeared. Call (813) 575-3550 to schedule.
