Motor Vehicle Accidents
Have You Been in a Car Accident in Connecticut?
It has been estimated that every year in the United States, 4.4 million people are seriously injured in car accidents and require medical attention. Many people in Connecticut will be injured in a motor vehicle accident and seek care for their injuries. If you've been involved in a collision, you may suffer injuries that are immediately painful, or symptoms may develop hours, days, or weeks following the accident. Early intervention to treat these symptoms is important. Common injuries following a car crash include muscle strain, whiplash, bruising, abrasions, fracture, concussion, sprains, and other painful conditions.
Car Injury Treatment
Following a car accident, there is so much to be dealt with; insurance companies, the other driver, doctors appointments, injuries, lost time from work or school, to name a few. This can cause quite a strain on your physical and mental well-being. All these issues might cause you to prioritize other needs over your health. You may “push through” your injuries, or expect them to resolve on their own. After all, sometimes aches or pains do go away on their own. However, waiting for symptoms to resolve on their own following motor vehicle trauma can be a big mistake. Whiplash injuries, concussion, dislocations, fractures...these injuries often require treatment and rehabilitation in order for you to be able to return to your previous levels of comfort and functional ability.
