Car Accident Injury Care in Garner, NC
If something hurts after a crash, get it examined, even if the crash seemed minor. I'm Dr. Adam Seay, D.C. I examine you first, measure what's wrong, and build a plan around what I find. With your written permission, your records go straight to your attorney if you have one. New crash patients can be seen within 3 business days. Call 919-662-0520 or tap Schedule Appointment above.
Emergencies first
If you have severe or worsening pain, new numbness or weakness in an arm or leg, trouble controlling your bladder or bowels, a severe headache, confusion, or repeated vomiting, call 911 or go to the emergency room before you call any office.
Your first visit after a crash
Plan on about an hour. Your first visit includes:
-
A crash history: where you were sitting, which way you were hit, and what you have felt since
-
A full exam with measured findings, including disability scores and range of motion, so your progress is a number, not a guess
-
A written plan tied to what I find
-
A referral for imaging or to another specialist if your exam calls for it
Bring a photo ID, your attorney's contact information if you have one, any emergency room or urgent care paperwork, and a list of your medications. Wear clothes you can move in.
Working with your attorney
With your written permission, I send your records, bills and status updates straight to your attorney. Status letters go out every 30 days with your measured progress, and requested records go out within 2 business days.
​
When an attorney represents you and you sign my agreement, I can hold your bill until your case settles.
​
No attorney? You can still be seen. I still hold your payment until you settle the claim. If you ask me for names of attorneys, I'll share ones whose work I know. I receive nothing for it, and the choice is always yours.

Questions About Car Accident Care
Q: Do I need a referral?
A: No. You can book directly by calling 919-662-0520 or through Schedule Appointment at the top of this page.
​
Q: The crash seemed minor. Should I still be checked?
A: If something hurts, yes. Many people feel fine at the scene and stiff the next morning. An exam soon after the crash records what is going on while it is fresh.

A: Yes. We see whiplash and auto accident injuries. Dr. Seay examines you first and refers you for imaging or to another specialist if your exam calls for it.

A: No. You can be seen with or without one. If you have an attorney, with your written permission I keep them updated with status letters and records.
