When You Need to Go to the Emergency Room after an Auto Accident in Houston
Even if you do not have an injury that seems serious at the time of the accident, going to the ER is necessary particularly in serious collisions involving other drivers, if not only for your health and safely, but for legal protection as well. After an accident, you may be in a state of shock, or adrenaline can be masking pain or symptoms of an injury. It is possible that an injury from the car accident will not show up for several days after the accident.
Even though you might feel fine after a car accident, the adrenaline that occurs after the accident may be inhibiting pain symptoms. Adrenaline is a hormone that the body produces in dangerous situations. Once the adrenaline subsides, the symptoms of an injury can emerge. Sometimes in addition to physical injuries, there is emotional trauma as well which can affect your health if not treated properly and quickly. Even if your injury is not life-threatening, a visit to the ER will rule out any potential injuries that appear once the adrenaline wears off.
In the critical moments that follow an auto accident, immediate and competent care is essential.
