Can I Still Sue if My Car Accident Injury Was Delayed After the Crash?

It’s natural to question your legal options when you experience delayed injury symptoms following a car accident. At Fadduol, Cluff, Hardy & Conaway P.C., we recognize the complexities involved in these cases and are here to provide clarity and guidance.

Delayed injuries, such as soft tissue injuries (like whiplash or back pain), often emerge after the initial shock and adrenaline of the accident wears off. This delay in symptoms is not uncommon and does not diminish your ability to pursue a personal injury claim. Whether your pain becomes apparent immediately or surfaces days later, you have the right to seek compensation for your injuries.

One of the critical factors in such cases is timely medical attention. Even if you don’t feel immediate pain or discomfort after the accident, it’s essential to seek medical evaluation promptly. Medical documentation not only ensures your injuries are properly diagnosed and treated but also serves as crucial evidence in your legal claim.

Our experienced attorneys emphasize the importance of documenting your injuries and the accident scene. This documentation helps establish a clear link between the accident and your injuries, strengthening your case against the at-fault party’s insurance company.
