Why You Always Should Get Medical Treatment for a Car Accident
Even if you think it’s minor, get your injuries diagnosed and documented
In general, it is always a good idea to seek medical attention after a car accident, even if your injuries are minor. This is because some injuries, such as concussions or whiplash, may not be immediately apparent, and it is important to receive a thorough medical evaluation to ensure that you are not seriously injured.
If you are unsure whether or not your injuries are minor, you should err on the side of caution and seek medical attention. This is especially important if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:
- Headache, dizziness, or confusion
- Neck or back pain
- Numbness or tingling in your arms or legs
- Abdominal pain or difficulty breathing
- Chest pain or discomfort
- Difficulty moving or walking
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, or if you are unsure whether or not you should seek medical attention, you should contact a healthcare provider or go to the emergency room. A healthcare provider will be able to assess your injuries and provide the appropriate treatment.
