Following an accident, especially a car accident, it can be difficult to gauge the severity of your injuries. Often, people eschew medical care following an accident when they don’t believe they’ve been seriously hurt. Unfortunately, the symptoms of certain types of injuries, such as internal and head injuries, can take days or even weeks to manifest. In other words, your injuries may be more severe than you realize. Therefore, in addition to seeing a health care provider following an accident, you should contact an accident attorney.
