After a car accident, it can be hard to fully understand the extent of your injuries right away. Even if you feel okay, it is possible that adrenaline is masking your pain and impairing your judgment. This can lead you to overlook injuries that could be serious. It is common for accident victims to experience delayed symptoms or complications. For these reasons, it is crucial to seek medical attention immediately after an accident, especially if it was caused by a negligent or distracted driver. Insurance companies may use any delays in seeking treatment to question the severity of your injuries, which can make it more difficult to receive the compensation you are entitled to.
