If you’ve been in a Connecticut auto accident, you will want to seek medical attention. In some serious cases, the need to seek medical attention will be obvious, but in other, less severe cases, it may seem like you can just walk away without worrying about seeing a medical professional.
The trouble with not seeing a medical professional immediately after you are in an auto accident is that while you may not be feeling any ill effects from the accident in the moment, injuries such as concussions or whiplash can take some time to show symptoms and therefore may not present until that evening or the following day.
Seeking medical attention after an accident does not mean that you have experienced an injury, but it will allow you to share your medical history with the insurance company and be compensated fairly for any injury you may have sustained. Without a medical record, it is difficult to make the case that the accident had made an impact on your health and well-being.
After seeing a medical professional you will have the necessary information to present the most complete claim you can and get your long term interests protected.
