Delayed Injury Symptoms After Car Crashes
It is not uncommon for crash victims to initially refuse medical transport, only to later experience worsening symptoms requiring hospitalization. Adrenaline and shock can mask injuries in the immediate aftermath of a crash, leading individuals to underestimate their condition. Hours or even days later, symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, neck pain, or internal injuries may emerge.
According to the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT), delayed-onset injuries are a common concern following motor vehicle accidents. Whiplash, concussions, and soft tissue damage may not be immediately noticeable but can cause long-term pain and complications if left untreated. Seeking medical evaluation after any significant crash is highly recommended, even if no immediate pain is felt.
Victims of car accidents who later experience medical complications may face unexpected medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and lost wages. Understanding legal options can help ensure they receive the compensation they need to cover medical treatments and other damages.
