Precautions After a Traffic Accident
Even if you don’t feel pain, be sure to visit a medical institution.
Right after a traffic accident, your body releases adrenaline and beta-endorphins, which can make pain less noticeable. Even if you don’t feel symptoms immediately, you must see a doctor.
Risk of Whiplash
Even if you don’t feel pain after a traffic accident, there may be hidden injuries. One of the most common is whiplash. Symptoms such as neck and shoulder pain, restricted movement, headaches, nausea, tinnitus, dizziness, and numbness may appear days or even a week later.
Important Notes About Settlements
Once a settlement is made, it is generally difficult to claim further compensation for symptoms that appear later. The effects of a traffic accident on the body can be complex. Even if you feel fine at first, symptoms may appear a month or six months later. Before settling, be sure to receive a proper diagnosis and treatment at a medical institution.
