Crash-injury topics
Crash injuries and PIP, for people hurt in Orange City
Every topic page applies in Orange City: Florida's PIP law is a state statute, so the rules do not change at the city line.
What the 14-day rule means after an Orange City crash
Orange City has a full hospital inside its own limits, AdventHealth Fish Memorial on Saxon Boulevard. Having an emergency room close by helps, but it does not move the deadline. Under Fla. Stat. 627.736(1)(a), Personal Injury Protection medical benefits are paid only for initial services and care received within 14 days after the motor vehicle accident. The count is in calendar days from the date of the crash. Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays all count, and the clock does not wait for pain to arrive.
Put a date on it. If a car pulls out of a side street and hits you on Volusia Avenue on Friday the 10th, the last day for qualifying care is Friday the 24th. A visit booked on the 20th for the 27th satisfies nothing, because the statute looks at when the care was received, not when it was arranged. The 14-day deadline for Volusia County crashes sets the counting out with more dated examples.
- Your own policy pays first. PIP is no-fault. It covers 80% of reasonable, medically necessary medical expenses and 60% of lost income, inside a combined $10,000 limit, no matter who was at fault. The deductible, and the 20% a provider can still bill you, are set out in the guide to how PIP pays for crash care.
- The same policy reaches your passengers. The statute extends PIP to the named insured, relatives living in the same household, passengers in the insured vehicle and people struck by it. Each person who was hurt needs their own qualifying visit inside the same 14 days, including a child who seemed fine when the car stopped.
- The first examiner decides your ceiling. The statute lists a licensed chiropractic physician among the providers who can give qualifying initial care. The separate finding of an emergency medical condition, which keeps the medical benefit at $10,000 rather than $2,500, can only be made by a medical doctor, an osteopathic physician, a dentist, a physician assistant or an advanced practice registered nurse.
That last point is the practical one for anyone who wants chiropractic care after an Orange City crash. Going straight to a chiropractor meets the deadline. Without a physician-level examination on file as well, it also caps the medical benefit at $2,500. The comparison of ER or chiropractor first lays out the order of visits that keeps the full amount open.
No office in Orange City
This site is run by Florida Crash Helpline as an independent information service. There is no clinic, address or treatment room behind it in Orange City or anywhere else, and nobody is examined here. By phone, the helpline goes through the deadlines that apply to you and can arrange a callback.
The roads that carry Orange City traffic
Orange City covers about eight square miles, yet several of West Volusia's main routes pass through it or along its edge. The road names and route numbers below come from OpenStreetMap and the published route records for each highway. This describes where the roads run. It is not a danger ranking, and no crash totals are given because none were read from an official source for this city.
I-4, exits 111 and 114
The interstate runs along the city's eastern side. Exit 111 is the Saxon Boulevard interchange (CR 4146), and its 111B ramp is listed for Orange City and for access to AdventHealth Fish Memorial. Exit 114, about three miles further north by the interstate's mileposts, is SR 472. Interstate collisions happen at higher speeds than anything on the city's surface streets.
US 17/92, Volusia Avenue
The city's main north to south road, and the only road inside the limits that OpenStreetMap classes as a primary highway. It comes up from DeBary, where the routing service labels it Charles Richard Beall Boulevard, runs the length of Orange City as Volusia Avenue, and continues north to DeLand as Woodland Boulevard. Saxon Boulevard, Rhode Island Avenue, Graves Avenue and French Avenue all meet it.
Saxon Boulevard, CR 4146
Runs east from Volusia Avenue to the I-4 interchange and on into Deltona. The hospital sits on it at 1055 Saxon Boulevard, so the road to the emergency room is also the road to the interstate. Halifax Health's ExpressCare Deltona clinic is on the same road, at 2090 Saxon Blvd. in Deltona.
SR 472 and Graves Avenue, CR 4145
SR 472 is a divided highway of about 3.4 miles. It starts at an interchange with US 17/92 between Orange City and DeLand, meets I-4 at exit 114 and ends at CR 4145, Howland Boulevard and Graves Avenue, in Deltona. Graves Avenue runs east from Volusia Avenue near the city centre and is the longest leg of the routed trip from Deltona.
French Avenue to Blue Spring State Park
West French Avenue leaves Volusia Avenue heading west toward the state park entrance at 2100 W. French Ave. Florida State Parks warns that the park frequently reaches capacity and may close temporarily, that closures can last several hours, and that visitors may face long lines to get in.
A bump from behind while waiting in a line of cars is usually a low-speed crash, and low-speed crashes are the ones people most often decide were too small to get checked. A bumper can take that kind of hit and show little, which says almost nothing about what happened to the neck of the person in the seat. Why symptoms can take a day or more to show is covered under soft tissue injury after a crash and whiplash after a car accident.
Riders are a separate case. For PIP purposes Fla. Stat. 627.732 counts only vehicles with four or more wheels, so a motorcycle carries no PIP and the 14-day rule has no benefit attached to lose. What does apply to a rider is on the motorcycle injury page.
Orange City facts that matter after a crash
Orange City is a city in southwest Volusia County and part of the Deltona, Daytona Beach and Ormond Beach metropolitan area. It calls itself the Heart of Southwest Volusia. It was incorporated in 1882 and named for the orange groves around it; twelve years later the Great Freeze wiped out the groves that gave the town its name. The 2020 census counted 12,632 residents, up from 10,599 in 2010, in a city of about 7.9 square miles. Deltona lies to the east, DeBary to the south and DeLand to the north.
The residents skew older. At the 2020 census the median age was 48.8, and 30.3% of residents were 65 or older. In 24.0% of households, someone aged 65 or over lived alone. Age changes nothing about the count: a retired driver hurt on Saxon Boulevard has the same 14 calendar days from the crash date as anyone else. What it can change is who notices a problem. If an older relative was in a crash, make sure someone else knows the date, and read the page on delayed pain after a car accident so you know what a slow start can look like.
The city also draws people who do not live here. Blue Spring State Park, just west of the city with an Orange City address, surrounds the largest spring on the St. Johns River. The park describes its water as 72 degrees, and from mid-November to March hundreds of manatees gather in the spring run to shelter from the cold. Florida State Parks records that the winter count rose from 14 manatees tracked in 1970 to a record 729 in 2023.
If you are visiting from another state and are hurt in a crash on the way in or out, how your own policy responds to a Florida collision depends on that policy, so ask your insurer rather than assume. If you are a Florida resident with PIP, a crash in a queue of traffic is still a motor vehicle crash, and the 14 days start that day. Get examined inside the window and sort out the paperwork afterwards.
Emergency rooms serving Orange City
If anyone may be seriously hurt, call 911 and let the dispatcher decide where the ambulance goes. AdventHealth's own emergency page for Fish Memorial tells people to call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room for fractures, deep wounds, difficulty breathing, a major head injury, a suspected heart attack or stroke, or vomiting or coughing up blood. Once 911 is ruled out, the list below is for choosing where to be seen.
These are the emergency departments serving Orange City, named the way each hospital system names them on its own website.
AdventHealth Fish Memorial
1055 Saxon Boulevard, Orange City, formerly Florida Hospital Fish Memorial. AdventHealth lists its emergency care as open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The same system says AdventHealth for Children runs a pediatric emergency department at Fish Memorial, with a separate child-friendly waiting room and seven exam rooms.
AdventHealth Deltona ER
3108 Howland Boulevard, Deltona. A freestanding emergency room that AdventHealth describes as a hospital department of AdventHealth Fish Memorial, open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, like the Orange City ER.
Halifax Health - Emergency Department of Deltona
At Halifax Health | UF Health - Medical Center of Deltona, 3300 Halifax Crossing Boulevard, Deltona. Halifax Health says it serves the greater Four Towns area of west Volusia County with 24-hour emergency care, in a sixteen-bed department connected to a full-service hospital.
AdventHealth DeLand
701 West Plymouth Avenue, DeLand. AdventHealth lists the hospital as open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and lists emergency and urgent care among its services.
No wait times are quoted here, because none of these departments publishes one that stays accurate for long. For an injury that needs seeing soon but is not an emergency, Halifax Health lists ExpressCare Deltona, an urgent care clinic at 2090 Saxon Blvd. It is not an emergency department. Urgent care clinics generally have physicians, physician assistants or advanced practice registered nurses on duty, which means a visit there usually meets the 14 days and can also produce the emergency medical condition finding.
Wherever you are seen, tell them you were in a motor vehicle crash and on what date, so the chart links your symptoms to the collision. Before any follow-up treatment, you can check a Florida provider's licence on the Department of Health's public lookup. Where a licensed clinic advertises on this site, it pays a flat monthly fee, never a fee per patient.
Questions
Orange City crash-injury questions
Is there a Daytona Accident Chiropractor office in Orange City?
No. Daytona Accident Chiropractor is an independent information service with no office, clinic or address in Orange City or anywhere else. It is not a medical provider and not a law firm. Where a licensed clinic advertises on the site, it pays a flat monthly advertising fee that does not change with how many people contact it.
Is there an emergency room inside Orange City?
Yes. AdventHealth Fish Memorial, at 1055 Saxon Boulevard, lists emergency care open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and has a pediatric emergency department run by AdventHealth for Children. If someone may be badly hurt, call 911 instead of driving there yourself.
My child was in the car in an Orange City crash and says they feel fine. Do the 14 days apply to them?
Yes. PIP under Fla. Stat. 627.736 covers relatives living in your household and passengers in the insured vehicle, and each injured person needs qualifying care within 14 days of the crash date. Feeling fine at the scene is common and tells you little. Tell the examiner the child was in a crash and give the date.
I was rear-ended in the line for Blue Spring State Park. Is that treated like any other Orange City crash?
For a Florida driver with PIP, yes. A collision between cars in a queue is a motor vehicle crash, and the 14-day count starts on the day it happens. Low-speed hits like this are the ones people tend to shrug off, so get examined inside the window. If you live in another state, ask your own insurer how your policy applies.
Can my first visit after an Orange City crash be to a chiropractor?
It can, and it counts toward the 14 days, because the statute names licensed chiropractic physicians among the qualifying first providers. The catch is the $2,500 cap: only a medical doctor, osteopathic physician, dentist, physician assistant or advanced practice registered nurse can record the emergency medical condition finding that opens the full $10,000. Plan to be seen by one of them as well.
How far is Orange City from Deltona, DeBary and DeLand?
As the crow flies between the OpenStreetMap town centres, Orange City is about 4.6 miles from DeBary, 5.3 miles from Deltona and 5.5 miles from DeLand. The OSRM route used here comes in from Deltona mainly on Graves Avenue (CR 4145) and Providence Boulevard (CR 4155), and from DeBary and DeLand along US 17/92. Those are map distances, not travel estimates.
How long do I have to bring an injury claim after a Volusia County crash?
For a crash on or after March 24, 2023, Fla. Stat. 95.11 gives two years for an action founded on negligence. That clock is separate from the 14-day PIP rule and much longer, and talking to an insurer does not pause it. Have a Florida attorney confirm any date before you rely on it.

The deadline that decides your benefits
Florida gives you 14 days from the crash to start medical care.
Miss it and up to $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection benefits is forfeited under Fla. Stat. 627.736. The statute contains no hardship exception, and no provider or attorney can restore the benefit afterward. It runs from the crash date, weekends included, whether or not symptoms have appeared yet.
If anyone may be seriously hurt, call 911 first.
