Medical treatment is essential to restoring your health after an accident. Even if you don't think you were seriously injured, it's best to see your doctor as soon as possible. In some cases, you may have sustained an injury for which symptoms do not appear right away. The aches and pains you feel after an accident that you assume will go away in a few days or weeks could be indicative of a more serious injury. Left untreated, these injuries could result in permanent disability or become life-threatening.
Always make it a priority to seek medical care after an accident.
