We get it – car accidents can be quite the rollercoaster ride. Sometimes, you might walk away from a fender-bender feeling like you're in one of those Fast and Furious scenes.
But, here's the deal: even if you feel like you're A-OK, seeing a doctor after an accident is a smart move. Wondering why? We'll tell you.
Okay, so you might not feel pain right away, thanks to the post-accident adrenaline rush that might mask the pain. But remember, some fractures might not be obvious if it's not a weight-bearing limb.
Plus, car crashes (think airbag expansion and squeezed seatbelts) can cause internal bleeding. Internal bleeding often doesn't raise a red flag immediately. Keep an eye out for dizziness, bruising, or abdominal swelling. Ignoring it is risky, because it can get super serious if left untreated.
This one's a biggie, especially if you're considering insurance claims or legal action. Doctors are pros at documenting injuries caused by accidents. They'll ask all the right questions and this info is a game-changer for personal injury cases. The thorough the documentation, the higher your chances of getting a fair settlement.
Ever bumped your head during an accident or had your car do some flips? That might lead to a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The tricky part is TBIs don't always come with instant symptoms. To be safe, it's essential to see a doctor ASAP. They might order a brain scan (like a CT or MRI) to check for any hidden damage.
Also, in cases of automobile accidents, it's not just the immediate aftermath that matters. Take whiplash, for example; ignoring that neck or back pain could lead to headaches, chronic pain, and other long-term problems. Trust us; early detection is key!
So yeah, if you've been in a car crash, waiting it out isn't the best move. At HEMA, our doctors deal with a number of no-fault automobile accident cases and know the ropes – be it advanced diagnoses or non-invasive treatments. Drop us a line!
