Minor Impact Car Accidents Can Cause Severe Injuries

A common misunderstanding is that it take a large high speed impact in an automobile accident to result in severe injuries.  This is not true.  Even in a low speed crash you body is sent forward and backwards often causing whiplash injuries which are very painfull.  this fact was proven to me when my wife was rearended in her suburban and you could not even see a scratch.  The next morning she came to me and said she would never have imagined that a crash that did not damage her SUV could make her hurt so bad.  If you are involved in any automobile crash you should seek medical attention if you are hurting more than a day after the incident.  Alway wear your seatbelt and insist that everyone in the vehicle wear theirs.  If you have any questions call me at our office.
