It is important to seek medical attention after a car accident. Even though you may not be experiencing noticeable or immediate symptoms, you should seek medical clearance from a doctor. During and after an accident, your body could experience an adrenaline rush, which could keep you from feeling injury symptoms. Delayed car accident injuries could occur in the days or weeks after an accident.
Common delayed injury symptoms could include:
If you are experiencing any symptoms after an accident, you should see a medical professional. You should continue to see a doctor until your symptoms stop. Depending on the circumstances, your symptoms could be a serious health concern.
In addition, when you try to file a claim with your insurance company, they will use your medical history to assess your injury claim. If you do not have medical history after your accident, the insurance company may try to claim that your car accident injuries were not severe enough to seek medical attention.
If you or someone you love has been injured in a car accident caused by the negligence of another driver or entity, we recommend that you contact a car accident attorney as soon as possible to discuss your situation.
