Immediately after the accident, your body still may be in shock and running on adrenaline. It is always recommended to go to a doctor for an examination to make sure there isn’t any underlying damage from the accident. If any other passengers were in the vehicle at the time of the accident, it is recommended that they also see a doctor.
Doctors may have insight on what to look for following a car accident that hasn't crossed your mind. There’s also a chance that any medical treatment as the result of the accident will be covered by insurance.
