Even if you were in an accident and don’t appear at first glance to be seriously injured, you should still see a doctor and receive a full medical examination. Often, people are given a false sense of security due to the high levels of adrenaline that come with an intense experience such as an accident. However, it can take anywhere from a few hours or days, or even longer, for the full extent of the injuries to become apparent.
Don’t wait any longer than you have to to see a doctor; delayed injuries after a car accident are more common than you think. Otherwise, an insurance company will surely use this as evidence to deny or reduce your claim.
