A car accident may only take seconds, but the human body can sustain a significant amount of short term and long lasting physical trauma during this time. Pain after a car accident is often delayed due to the body’s natural responses to stress, causing the victim of a car accident to feel fine immediately after the accident, only for the symptoms to return hours to months later. Therefore, it is essential to seek medical attention immediately after a car accident, even if you do not have any signs of injury.
