The type and severity of your injury may depend on the specifics of your accident. Though you might expect serious damage after a high-impact collision, even minor fender benders lead to injuries.

Whiplash, for example, is common after a rear-end collision and may cause ongoing neck pain and headaches if left untreated.

Even at very ow impact the occupant ebing struck from behind can have significant forces which nacn cause injury.

When should I seek care after an automobile accident?

You should seek care immediately following an automobile accident. Even if you have no apparent injuries or pain, you should get a medical evaluation.

The adrenaline following a car accident may mask initial pain from injuries. Then, a few hours later, you may feel stiff and sore. An early evaluation may find injuries before you detect them and allows you to start taking steps to heal any damage.
