Car Accidents in Texas
Car accidents are reported every day in Texas. These accidents add up to hundreds of thousands of people being injured every year as a result of collisions on our roads. After being involved in an accident, it is crucial that you take various steps to protect your legal rights. One of the best things that you can do is seek medical attention and reach out to law enforcement to ensure your rights and health are protected.
What Happens if My Injuries Are Not Immediately Apparent?
If your injuries do not appear immediately after your accident, it is not uncommon. There are various instances where some injuries, such as soft tissue injuries and internal organ injuries, may have delayed symptoms that become noticeable hours or even days after an accident. It is imperative for you to seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if you initially feel fine after your crash. A medical professional will be able to assess your condition, identify any injuries, and give you the care that you need.
From a legal and insurance perspective, the delayed onset of injuries can be challenging, but it does not necessarily affect your ability to file a claim. When reporting the accident to your insurance company, make sure to inform them of any delayed symptoms.
