In the aftermath of a car accident, the most important thing you can do is listen to your body. While some injuries, like cuts or broken bones, will be obvious, others, sometimes referred to as “soft-tissue” injuries, will not be. What starts out as tightness in the neck and shoulders can quickly turn into serious pain that can keep you from being able to work, exercise or even sleep properly.
If you feel like you may be injured, it is important that you see a doctor as soon as possible. Any delay in seeking medical attention could result in the worsening of your injury as well as allegations by the defendant’s insurance company that you were not truly hurt in the accident. Do not allow the other side an opportunity to raise doubt in the jury’s mind as to whether or not you deserve to be compensated.
