When you're involved in an auto accident, your torso moves, but your neck and head remain in the same place. Even if that happens at a low speed, your injuries may require medical treatment in order to recover fully. Even if you don't feel pain or don't see any immediate injuries, you should still receive medical care. Underlying injuries, such as a soft tissue injury, can be very common amongst victims of auto accidents. When treated on time, most vehicle accident victims are able to quickly heal from their injuries. However, the longer you wait, the more severe the pain and suffering can become. Some of the most common injuries, such as whiplash, can remain asymptomatic for weeks or even months. Moreover, even such a "small" accident can cause tremendous stress. Releasing adrenaline is a normal reaction of the organism to try to protect your life. This hormone is necessary for our survival, but it can also mask the pain for hours or days until you relax. Don't wait until the problem becomes unbearable: see a doctor immediately. Head injuries are also very common after low-speed accidents, including a brain injury. The symptoms can appear even months after the crash, and they can include such severe problems as depression, memory issues, headaches and migraines, blurred vision, anxiety, dizziness, and much more. The insurance companies are going to do everything they can to prove there was no property damage or injuries that occurred in the low-speed collision or that the car accident injuries weren't serious. Medical documentation is the best evidence to prove they're wrong. This is why you shouldn't wait until you feel bad before seeing a doctor. Postponing a medical consultation even for a few days can cost you losing your rear-end case and the compensation you deserve. You need money to cover all your medical bills, even those that are going to become symptomatic in the future.
