Should I go to the ER even if I feel okay after a car accident?

Yes, if there is any possibility of injury. Adrenaline can mask pain, and some serious injuries like internal bleeding or concussions don't show symptoms right away.

How does going to the ER affect my injury claim?

ER records create documented medical evidence linking your injuries to the accident. Gaps in medical treatment can be used by insurance companies to argue your injuries aren't serious.

What if I can't afford the ER after a car accident?

Do not skip medical treatment due to cost. A personal injury attorney can help arrange care through letters of protection, and your medical bills can be recovered through your claim.
