Not all injuries are obvious immediately after the accident. Many accident victims experience a rush of adrenalin right after the accident. This can temporarily numb your sense of pain. You may feel ok right after the accident but begin to experience pain or develop various other symptoms later on. It is therefore important to seek medical attention as soon as possible after the accident even when you are not in pain or do have no obvious injuries. Health care professionals will be able to diagnose your injuries and provide timely treatment to avoid complications. Your medical report will provide crucial evidence in your personal injury claim.
