Most medical professionals and legal professionals advise you get checked out by a medical doctor right away. There is nothing to lose by seeing a doctor following accident, but there is everything to gain. You’ll feel far better taking time to see the doctor only to find out it’s nothing than you will waiting until you feel pain only to find out you are seriously injured. Additionally, if you plan on filing a lawsuit against the driver at-fault in the accident, medical records showing injuries are more helpful if they’re issued right after the accident occurs.
