How Long Should You Be Sore After a Car Accident?

Being injured in a car accident can not only put a quick stop to your plans for the day but also lead to injuries that result in long-term and life-altering symptoms. The duration of time that any individual “should” be sore after an accident is zero. If you have been in a car accident and are experiencing soreness, you may have been injured, which could lead to costly medical bills and missed time from work. 

If you have been in a car accident, an experienced Florida personal injury lawyer from Martin Law Firm is available to review your case, and medical attention should be sought to ensure your health and safety as soon as possible after the accident. 

Common Car Accident Injuries 

If you have been in a car accident, the adrenaline of the situation can sometimes lead to injuries being overlooked. It is important to seek medical attention following your car accident as some injuries are not obvious, and their symptoms may take time to emerge. 

Some of the most common car accident injuries include:

 Traumatic brain injury – causes a permanent change in the chemicals in your brain and is caused by a bump, blow, or penetrating wound to the head

• Spinal cord injury – happens when the nervous system’s communication highway that connects your brain to your body is damaged, which can result in partial or complete paralysis, which leads to life-long changes in lifestyle and work ability 
• Neck and back injury – often happens in motor vehicle collisions, such as through whiplash, and can lead to ongoing pain-management needs and partial or complete disability

If you have been in a car accident, seek immediate medical attention, then consider options on how to ensure you recover the compensation you are entitled to so you and your family are not left covering costs linked to your car accident injuries. 

When Should I Contact a Car Accident Lawyer? 

After you have received emergency medical attention after the accident, it is time to reach out to a personal injury lawyer with a proven track record of success in helping persons injured in car accidents collect what they deserve. Your personal injury attorney gathers evidence and helps you schedule follow-ups with medical professionals to measure the long-term costs associated with your injuries. This evidence is then drafted into a claim your attorney handles on your behalf.
