Even if damage to a vehicle following an accident is minimal, the type of accident or the force of impact may have significant consequences for the driver or passengers. Often, the effects of a seemingly minor accident are not felt until days or even weeks later. Those involved in the accident may report increased pain or symptoms they did not notice directly after the accident, which may include neck pain, back pain, headaches, and soft tissue injuries. That’s why it’s critical to seek medical treatment immediately following an injury, both for your health and for your case.
