After a car accident, it can be difficult to immediately assess the severity of your injuries. Even if you feel fine, the rush of adrenaline may mask the pain or seriousness of your injuries. Car accidents caused by careless drivers are unfortunately common, and if you have been hurt in a crash, it is essential to seek emergency medical care as soon as possible. Delaying treatment can not only affect your health but can also give insurance companies a reason to deny or reduce your compensation claim, making it harder for you to receive the benefits you deserve.
