After a car accident, it’s common not to feel hurt right away. Adrenaline and shock can hide pain for hours or even days.
Here’s what you should do if you're not sure you're injured:
1. See a Doctor Anyway
Some injuries (like whiplash, concussions, or internal injuries) don’t show symptoms immediately. A medical professional can check you out properly.
2. Document Everything
Even if you feel fine, note how you're feeling after the crash. Keep a journal in case symptoms develop later.
3. Don’t Settle Too Quickly
Insurance companies may push you to settle fast. If injuries appear later, you could be stuck with the bills. Always be cautious.
4. Know Your Options
You may still be entitled to compensation for hidden injuries. While we’re not lawyers, we recommend talking to a qualified attorney if you start to feel worse after the accident.
