The Importance of Getting Checked After Accidents
Well, I didn’t tell them I was hurt because I didn’t think I was hurt and later on I was. Let’s talk about something that’s very very basic and fundamental that most of us have experienced in our life either directly or indirectly.
My name is Michael Ashworth and I’m here with TulsaPersonalInjuryLawyer.pro. I want to talk to you about what happens. You’re in a motor vehicle accident. Your fault, their fault, both of your faults, not part of your faults, maybe somebody else’s fault. And the police officer, are you hurt? And the adrenaline’s running. You’re just, your heart’s pounding. Your mind’s racing 90 to nothing and you say, no.
Well, next day, oh, can’t move your neck. Your back feels like it’s on fire. You can’t get out of bed. Suddenly realize you’ve been hurt and you think, okay, I’ll just take ibuprofen or naproxen or aspirin and I’ll just tough my way through it. Bad plan.
Why You Should Get Checked Out
Medicine has gotten so advanced and so easily available, there’s no excuse not to get checked out. I’m not saying that if it’s a minor impact or seemingly a minor impact, what we call a low speed impact, that you need to have to take EMSA to St. Francis, go to the ER and be there for days. However, I do encourage you at the very minimum to go get checked out at a minor emergency or urgent care center and make sure you’re okay. That’s where people make their mistakes. They don’t just eliminate the possibility up front or discover the possibility up front and address it at that time.
So if you’re in an accident and you’re asked, are you hurt? Do you know? You don’t know yet because your adrenaline and the excitement of the moment won’t let you know until your body slows down. So go get checked.
