It can be challenging to determine the extent of your injuries right after a car accident.

Serious car accidents are common, and if you were hurt by a careless driver, you should get emergency medical help. Insurance companies will be critical if you delay seeking medical treatment, and it can even make it more difficult for you to receive the compensation you are entitled to.
