What Should I Expect After a Car Accident?

What's On This Page

While every car wreck is different, one constant remains, they are always a traumatic experience. That’s because it’s unexpected. You’re okay and just going about your life one minute, and then suddenly you’re not.

Nearly everyone involved in a collision feels a bit “off” immediately following a crash. It is common to experience significant amounts of adrenaline after a wreck. In many cases, that adrenaline can mask physical pain. As a result, it’s normal for people not to experience any pain following a collision until hours later or the following day, when the adrenaline has worn off.

It’s never a bad idea to get checked out at a hospital, such as Catawba Valley Medical Center, an urgent care, or primary care office to make sure that you’re not more injured than you think. Even if you didn’t break any bones, there is a good chance that you’ll be sore for a time that could last for weeks or even months. Everyone heals differently, but if you’re not getting better, it’s a good idea to see a doctor to find out if there is something else you can do to alleviate your pain.

If you’re not at fault for the accident, you might be entitled to compensation for your injuries. It’s important to understand that medical records are the best way to document your pain, as the insurance company will not just take your word for it. Therefore, it’s essential to get medical treatment early on and follow the doctor’s orders if you’re hurting.

Car accidents can be life-changing events. And while injuries will vary, they almost always bring added stress. It’s easier said than done, but keeping a positive outlook is vital to your mental health while you recover. Hiring a Hickory car accident attorney can allow you to concentrate on your recovery while your attorney deals with the insurance company.
