What Happens If My Injuries Don’t Appear Until Days Or Weeks After The Crash?

After a crash, your biggest concern is usually getting home safely and trying to calm down from the shock. It is very common to think the body is fine at first because everything feels overwhelming. But as time passes, hidden injuries can start to cause real pain and worry.

 

In the video, Atty. Matthew McLain of Turner-Monahan PLLC explains what happens when injuries appear days or even weeks after a crash. This content is for educational purposes only.

Delayed Symptoms After a Crash

 

It is not unusual for injuries to take some time to show up after a motor vehicle crash. The body may be full of adrenaline and stress in the moment, so pain and symptoms can become clear days or even weeks later. This happens to many people who are injured.

 

Whether it’s a car accident, defective product, or serious injury, Matthew T. McLain brings the skill and compassion you need. Reach out today to discuss your case.

 

How Insurance Companies Respond

 

Insurance companies often argue that if someone did not go to a doctor immediately, then they must not have been truly injured. They try to use the delay in treatment as a reason to limit or deny a fair claim.

 

Why a Personal Injury Attorney Makes a Difference

 

A personal injury case is not the same as a general legal matter. The laws, medical documents, and insurance company tactics can be very complex. A personal injury attorney knows exactly how to collect the medical proof you need, how to handle adjusters who try to downplay delayed injuries, and how to make sure every medical cost is included in your claim. This kind of focused knowledge can be the difference between receiving fair help and being left with bills you should not have to pay.

 

What to Keep in Mind When Choosing the Right Attorney

 

When looking for an attorney after a crash, it is important to find someone who truly listens, understands your symptoms, and is willing to stand up to the insurance company. Make sure they have handled delayed injury cases before, know the local courts, and can explain your options clearly. You deserve a team that will stick with you until your case is fully resolved.

 

Why Medical Follow Ups Matter

 

Even if pain starts later, seeing doctors regularly makes a huge difference. It helps connect the injury to the crash and shows the ongoing impact it has on your life. A good attorney will guide you on the right steps, help you track medical care, and make sure nothing important is missed.
