What If My Car Accident Injuries Show up Later?

Whether your car was totaled or your fender was simply bent a little bit, any car wreck in Alexandria is traumatic. Auto accidents can leave you feeling scared, tense, and injured. While oftentimes whiplash and lacerations are easily noticed after a collision, there are plenty of injuries that can show up well after the fact. Whether your injuries are present immediately following the accident or weeks down the line, it’s always best to seek medical attention immediately.

Concussions

Concussions are some of the most common injuries that occur in car accidents. Because they don’t physically manifest themselves, they can be difficult to identify at the scene. Concussions occur when your brain hits the inside of your skull due to the force of impact. They can be relatively minor or lead to serious medical conditions. While it could take a few days to notice a concussion, it’s important to seek help immediately. If you begin feeling dizzy, nauseous, or have an inability to concentrate, you could be suffering from a concussion and you should see a doctor right away. Concussions can lead to more serious problems if left untreated.

Tissue Injuries

Injuries to muscles, tendons, and ligament can be difficult to spot following a car accident. This is because, in the moment, most drivers tend to tense their bodies during impact. This puts a lot of stress on the joints and muscles of the body. Once the body finally relaxes, there could be pain, swelling, and reduced mobility that wasn’t noticed before. In the days and weeks following your accident, pay attention to any aches and pains that may occur. Be sure to seek proper medical treatment at the first sign of discomfort. While the rehabilitation may be lengthy, it’s better to have the problem treated right away rather than risk the consequences of putting off being checked out.

Car Accident Injuries on Street - laborde Law FirmWhether the injuries are detected on the scene of the accident or after the fact, it’s important to document your symptoms and seek medical help immediately. If your accident was caused due to the negligence of another party, you could be entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering. To get the settlement that you deserve, it’s important to get the medical attention necessary. Make copies of any medical bills that result from your treatment, note the details of the accident, gather the necessary documents, and hire an Alexandria auto accident attorney. By finding the right lawyer for your needs, you have the best chance of receiving the compensation that you deserve for your pain and suffering.
