Suffering from a car accident is the last thing anyone expects when leaving the house. With all of the concerns and tasks of daily life, it is important to be informed, especially when an unforeseen accidents occurs.
Apart from injuries sustained in an accident, there are additional consequences for people's lives, such as having to stop activities or taking a time of disability to recover from your injuries.
One of the most common questions is when should I seek treatment?
Immediately after the accident, we recommend that you visit the emergency room to rule out serious injuries, especially if they concern skull or bone fracture. Once you are sure that there were no injuries that require hospitalization, you may go home with nothing more than fear from the accident.
Many times this is a big mistake. Though you might have injuries or minor pain that does not require treatment, this might actually have negative consequences for your health in the medium and long term.
Often times, car accident injuries do not cause pain or discomfort until weeks or months later. You may lose insurance coverage if you go to the chiropractor too often. It is advisable that you visit a specialist within two weeks of the incident. Especially if the other driver is at fault for the accident, you should seek medical and legal help immediately.
