DON’T GO UNTREATED
BE AWARE OF LATENT INJURIES

Being in any type of accident is difficult enough, but sometimes the shock and adrenaline can mask the signs and symptoms of a severe injury. A latent injury is something that did exist but went unnoticed at the time of the mechanical force or trauma that directly caused the injury. Some injuries can stay latent for weeks, months, or even years, and the most common personal injuries that don’t show up right away include head, leg, ankle, neck, and back injuries.
forces of a crash apply too much physical stress. Hairline fractures are difficult to notice without any excessive movement.
In order to avoid these latent injuries — even if you claim to feel fine — you should
always seek a medical examination immediately. If you wait too long to be checked, an undiscovered and untreated injury may cause serious medical conditions that can affect you for the rest of your life.
Some of the most common latent injuries include:
• Head injuries Concussions are one of the most common injuries that cannot be detected easily. The symptoms can show up immediately, in a few hours, or even days after the initial injury. • Whiplash Whiplash occurs when the neck suddenly jerks back and forth, resulting in pinched spinal discs or even nerve damage. • Dashboard knee A tear or rupture to the knee’s ligaments can be caused by the shinbone being pushed backward.
These unfortunate circumstances can affect your well-being as well as your personal injury case. If you claim to feel fine, insurance companies can use that to their advantage and dismiss your case because you waited too long to bring it forward. Making personal health a priority ensures that medical professionals find potential damages sooner rather than later — and this sends a powerful message that the injury was severe enough to treat the same day.
