Injuries From Rear-End Wrecks
Rear-end collisions in Visalia can cause very serious injuries such as:
- Whiplash
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal injuries (paraplegia, quadriplegia, partial paralysis)
- Broken bones
Report All Symptoms To Your Doctor
Injuries like whiplash and other soft tissue injuries are often not fully felt until days or weeks after the accident. What may feel like a minor pain or discomfort at first can grow into a very serious matter that requires care. In the immediate aftermath of an accident, people may not report all of the pain and discomfort they are feeling.
Too many people think that experiencing some pain and discomfort is normal after an accident. While this is true, you still need to report all of your symptoms to your physician. Failing to do so right away can give an insurance company grounds to argue that it does not need to compensate you because your injury was not caused by the accident.
