Common questions about our content library and how to use it:
Who writes the articles on Accident Care's blog?
Articles are authored by the medical team at Accident Care & Treatment Center in Oklahoma City, including Medical Director Richard T. Swenson, M.D. and our licensed physician staff. Content is clinically reviewed and reflects our 30+ years of exclusive focus on auto accident injury.
Are these articles a substitute for seeing a doctor?
No. Our articles are educational and cannot replace an individual medical evaluation. If you've been in an auto accident, please see a licensed physician within 24–72 hours — many injuries have delayed symptoms. Call (405) 842-3209 or walk in during business hours.
How do I choose which article is relevant to my injury?
Start with the article most closely matching what happened — rear-end collision, low-speed crash, head injury, back pain — then review our condition pages at /conditions for deeper medical information. For personalized guidance, schedule a same-day evaluation at our Oklahoma City clinic.
Do you publish articles on Oklahoma auto insurance and PIP claims?
Yes. Several articles cover Oklahoma's Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance, MedPay, and how fault determination affects your medical bills. PIP pays for your treatment regardless of fault, up to your policy limit.
How often are new articles published?
We publish new articles regularly — typically 2–4 per month — covering seasonal topics (winter driving, holiday travel), new treatment techniques at our Oklahoma City clinic, and updates to Oklahoma auto insurance law. Check back frequently or subscribe to our newsletter.
