Yes. Always seek medical attention after you’ve been involved in a car accident. The trauma of the event can send your system into shock. You won’t be able to feel the pain of your injuries until the shock and adrenaline wear off. This can be hours or even a day later. In that time, you can easily jar an injury and create a life-long impairment.
For example, if you have whiplash that you cannot feel, you may move your neck in an odd way and cause further problems with the tendon.
The Ernst Law Group recommends that all of our clients seek medical attention as soon as possible after a car accident in Los Angeles. Whether they go to the emergency room or see their family doctor, their diagnosis can change a victim’s life and their claim.
Remember to keep all bills involved in your medical treatment, as you can recover the fees through suing for economic damages.
