If you’ve recently been involved in a car accident, you should see a doctor even if you don’t necessarily feel pain or think you’ve suffered any injuries. Some injuries, like whiplash or internal injuries that aren’t visible, you may not feel or notice any immediate pain. Despite this, you will likely eventually suffer from them, and they can have serious long-term effects.
A medical professional will assess and document any hidden injuries, which is vital for your health and for any potential car accident lawsuit you may later file. Prompt medical attention also serves to strengthen your case later by providing a clear record of your injuries linked to the accident. Taking prompt action on this front kills two birds with one stone in your claim.
