It is always a good idea to be checked out after an auto accident even if you don’t think you are hurt. Often, adrenaline blocks feeling pain right away after a collision. Aside from pain, you should seek medical attention if you experience numbness or dizziness. It is common to wake up days later and then start to feel the effects of possible injuries. This is why it is a good idea to be checked immediately, even if you don’t necessarily feel any pain.
Not only is it important to get this done in a timely manner for your own comfort and safety, but also for legal purposes. If you prolong seeking medical care after an accident, it can end up being too late to try and claim benefits. Unfortunately, it is sometimes necessary to file a lawsuit for compensation. In this case, medical records are critical evidence and can be of great assistance to your attorney. Without records it can be hard to prove your level of suffering.
