Delayed Injuries After an Accident

When an injury is not immediately obvious, it’s easy to dismiss. You tell yourself, “Oh, I’ll be fine tomorrow.” Then tomorrow comes and your pain has worsened, or new symptoms have begun to manifest.

A number of injuries sustained during a car accident or slip and fall may not appear for hours, days, or even weeks. Even if symptoms are delayed, the injury can still be severe.

Common delayed injuries include:

  • Whiplash or neck injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Soft tissue injuries (or complications from a soft tissue injury)
  • Internal injuries/organ damage
  • Bone fractures
  • PTSD

Headaches, pain with movement, nausea, hampered mobility, and abdominal pain are just a few signs that an injury is worsening.

The first thing you should do after any accident is get checked out by a medical professional.

The second is to call Multerer & Blum Law.
