After a car accident, the occupants of each vehicle involved need to check themselves and others for physical injuries. Car accident injuries can vary from minor to severe to deadly; and, many victims don’t feel the full extent of their injuries until well after a car accident, so they must watch out for symptoms such as headaches, neck, shoulder, and back pain, bruising, numbness and tingling, swelling, vision problems, and more. After you check on yourself and your fellow passengers, you should focus on getting everyone to safety and off the roadway, if possible, and calling emergency services.
