Be ready to deal with pain in the days and weeks after a crash

On behalf of Nield Law Group, APC | Nov 14, 2017 | Car Accidents

Many people think that the pain they have because of an accident will show up right after the accident. This isn’t always how things play out. Some injuries, such as broken bones, will cause pain right away but other injuries might not start to hurt for a few days or even weeks after the crash.

No matter when the pain after the crash manifests, you need to be ready to take action. In many cases, having a checkup with your doctor is a good idea because you never know what is truly going on. Plus, receiving a diagnosis means that you can get the treatment plan started.

One thing to remember when you are in a crash is to check everything you sign. You don’t want to sign any document that relieves the other party from liability. If you do sign this type of waiver, there won’t be anything you can do if the signs of whiplash or other injuries come up later.

You should also note that you will likely have to sign this waiver if you are getting a settlement for your injuries. It might be tempting to settle as quickly as you can after the crash, but this might work against you. Instead of rushing, take a little time to see if any other injuries manifest before you enter into a settlement.

Thinking carefully about all of the costs of the crash is necessary if you are trying to seek compensation. You must ensure that all your bills, even the ones in the future, are covered by the settlement or award you receive.
