Atlanta is one of the fastest growing cities in the country, with an extensive road network used by tens of thousands of people daily. It is no surprise that road accidents are common in the state, and some of the earlier data published indicate that in 2019, 34,446 car accidents were reported to Atlanta PD.
Some of these accidents can be minor fender benders where no one is harmed, but some are more serious and can result in severe injury or even death. Engaging with a reputed personal injury attorney is imperative to handle the claim.
What are some of the injuries of a car accident that are not visible immediately and what should I do?
Some injuries are attended to immediately after the accident. However, injuries may develop a few days, weeks, or even months after the accident. Hence, it is essential to be mindful of the symptoms developing after a specific time, if any.
Some of the common symptoms that have been noticed to develop after a car accident are as follows:
- Headaches
- Neck and shoulder aches
- PTSD
- Back pain
- Numbness
- Tingling
- Abdominal pain
- Fatigue
These should never be ignored and must be attended to by a medical practitioner immediately because, if left unchecked, they can cause permanent damage in the future.
It is also essential to reach out to a personal injury attorney to get the proper guidance and understand your fundamental rights in such a case. The lawyer will conduct a thorough investigation on your behalf to ensure liability is fairly determined.
