Getting hit from a car behind you while at a red light or stop sign is something you don’t expect to happen on your way home from work. Then again, you also don’t expect to twist your ankle on the tennis court, nor did you plan to fall down that set of stairs at work. Personal injuries at home, work, in the car, or while playing sports happen to the best of us, but it’s important to have them looked after right away. Your goal after experiencing a personal injury is to treat it so it heals and helps reduce pain.

When should you seek medical attention after experiencing a minor accident?

There are all sorts of minor accidents that happen to most of us in our lifetime. A case in point is a car accident, and according to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control), each year Americans spend a combined total of over one million days in the hospital after being injured while on roads and highways. What’s even more staggering is that medical costs combined exceed $18 billion. However, despite these facts, many people will wait to seek medical attention, especially if they only have minor signs of injury. However, when you are in any kind of car accident, or experience any kind of minor accident, it is important to receive medical attention right away. Even if you have minor pain, go see a doctor or a healthcare provider, who can help assess your injury, conduct an examination, and offer preventative tips for staying safe on the highway, or while cruising across town. A doctor or healthcare provider may also offer tips that might help keep you safer at home, or while playing your sport of choice. So, when an accident happens, get help right away and have it treated to make sure it’s not serious.
