Yes, absolutely. Neck injuries can often take time to manifest themselves after you have been in an accident, and it is critical that you get a full physical examination after the accident to prevent the injury from becoming worse. Worsening symptoms can include shooting pain, headaches, dizziness, pain in the limbs and more. These symptoms can intrude upon your daily life and make it difficult to sleep, work and enjoy the activities that you previously enjoyed. Unfortunately, if you wait to get treatment, the insurance companies may be able to argue that some intervening event occurred to worsen your condition—potentially reducing the insurance company’s financial responsibility for the injury that occurred in your accident.
