CONCUSSION CONSIDERATIONS FOR KIDS Because young children may not be able to fully express how they’re feeling either immediately or in the days after an accident, monitoring them closely for subtle hints of internal trauma is crucial. In addition to exhibiting the aforementioned signs, your child may become uncharacteristically disinterested in certain toys or activities, have issues maintaining balance, exhibit changes in dietary habits, or appear dazed or listless.

CAUTION CLOAKED IN CALM Failing to address any damage to your vehicle is as much a safety risk as a legal one. Depending on your auto insurance, you may receive an in-person visit from an appraiser or be encouraged to take and submit photos of your vehicle damage through a cellphone app. An insurer uses either method to determine the initial figure for the cost of your repairs. However, you should only consider any initial figure an estimate, as additional damage not apparent in the photos or the first in-person inspection could show up later. For example, a seemingly minor dent in your rear bumper that initially requires only a few hundred dollars’ worth of repairs could cost thousands if disassembly at the collision repair facility reveals substantial accident-related damage to your vehicle’s frame. Even if your vehicle seems drivable after a collision, it may still have serious damage. To avoid driving a vehicle that may risk occupant safety, it is best to have a trained automotive repair professional review it. T TO INSIGHT IDENT LOSSES LINGER
