Rivers Morrell has more than 40 years of experience as a personal injury attorney. His law firm represents those who are injured in a car accident in Mission Viejo and across Orange County and LA due to someone else’s negligence.
The first thing to do after a car accident is to see a physician for a thorough medical checkup within 24 to 48 hours of the accident. You may think you are completely uninjured, and are rightfully thankful. The fact of the matter is many injuries can take weeks or even months to develop symptoms. If you do not see a physician within a few days of the accident you will not be able to pursue an injury claim with the responsible insurance company if something comes up down the road. The insurance adjuster will say “you said you were uninjured, told your friends, family and coworkers you were uninjured, and now, weeks later, you want to make a claim? You didn’t even go to see a doctor.” Legally they will be right.
There are substantial forces which lash the body to and fro during the course of any accident. The result of a body being lurched suddenly forward, backward or side-to-side is damage to crucial soft tissues, especially in the neck and back. Tiny lacerations in the discs which protect the vertebrae of your spinal column release their internal fluid slowly over time. It may take 3 to 4 weeks or even a few months for extremely painful symptoms to show up. Many of those walking around comfortably after an accident find themselves bedridden and in extreme pain a month after the incident.
