Common symptoms that can appear after an accident include:
- Pain: A recurring feeling of pain in an area that has been previously injured or a new location.
- Discomfort is a general discomfort in your body.
- Dizziness: Feeling dizzy even though you didn’t feel it before.
- Numbness: Any feeling of numbness within the body.
It is important to consult a doctor immediately to ensure your safety and health. You should visit a doctor within 72 hours after the accident.
Sometimes people don’t seek medical attention because the accident was their fault.
This shouldn’t stop you from seeking immediate medical attention. According to Fred Koberlein, Jr., an Lake City, FL, car accident lawyer, “First, get medical attention.” Even if you’re not at fault, your insurance can cover as much as $10,000.00 in the initial expenses and possibly more.
Do not be tough and wait it out
People make the most common mistakes by trying to be tough, not seeking help or waiting for the pain to subside. The best way to avoid being denied a claim is to get to a doctor as soon as possible.
