How soon can a person seek medical attention after a car accident?

If you feel pain or if you may be injured, you should seek medical attention immediately after a car accident. Thank you for your email.

Medical attention should be sought right away. Your well-being is more important than anything involving a claim, but getting and following a course of treatment is also the best thing for presenting your claim. Arrange representation as early in the claims process as possible and certainly before giving any statements to the insurance company. If applicable, appropriately photograph any visible injuries, the vehicles involved and the scene of the accident from all directions.
