Subsequent to an accident, it is possible to experience an initial sense of well-being, only to have injuries manifest days, weeks, or even months later. Bearing this in mind, it is prudent to contemplate seeking medical attention even if you are under the impression that you have not sustained injuries. A medical professional possesses the ability to identify injuries that might not be immediately discernible to you and can apprise you of potential indicators of latent injuries. Neglecting timely medical attention for your injuries may result in the forfeiture of your entitlement to recover damages for forthcoming medical expenses. In any circumstance, reaching a settlement in an auto accident claim is inadvisable before undergoing a medical evaluation conducted by a doctor who can elucidate the extent of your injuries.
