Many accident victims don’t realize if a crash hurt them, or the extent of their injuries, immediately afterward. If your body struck anything during the collision, seek emergency treatment. If you don’t go to the ER from the scene, at a minimum, see your family doctor as quickly as possible following an accident where a car hit you. It’s better to have a doctor examine you in case you have serious internal injuries including brain trauma. If you were not in a vehicle during the accident, get medical care as soon as possible due to the increased likelihood of injuries.
