Some of the most serious injuries do not hurt right away. Here is why prompt medical care matters after any Vermont accident.
The Adrenaline Effect
After a crash, adrenaline can mask pain. Injuries such as concussions, internal injuries, and soft-tissue damage may not produce symptoms for hours or days.
Why Prompt Care Protects You
Seeing a doctor promptly protects your health and creates a medical record linking your injuries to the accident. Gaps in treatment give insurers an opening to argue your injuries were unrelated or minor.
Warning Signs
Headaches, dizziness, confusion, numbness, abdominal pain, and worsening stiffness all warrant prompt evaluation. When in doubt, get checked.
