A:First and foremost, you should seek medical attention for your injuries as soon as possible after your accident, even if you feel fine at first: This creates a verifiable record of your injuries in the event that you seek legal action. Because adrenaline tends to run high in the aftermath of a car crash, you may not be able to tell when your injuries are serious, but require additional care later on. Many significant car accident injuries can also take days to manifest. Make sure to report any and all symptoms to ER or urgent care staff, including: Dizziness and vertigo, loss of consciousness, blurred vision, headaches, lightheadedness, loss of memory or confusion.
