Some of the "smallest" accidents can cause the biggest injuries. It doesn't take a semi truck to hit you head on to cause serious injuries.
How many times have you heard of a car that was totaled and the driver walked away without any injuries? When this happens you say, "someone was very lucky."
How many times have you heard of a "fender-bender" and the driver sustained many serious injuries? I know, when you hear of these you say, "Ya right, this person is milking the system."
Honestly, some of the "smallest" accidents can cause the biggest injuries. About my car accident...it was a little one....for the car that is. For me....yes I was "looked at" as if I wasn't really hurt.... it wasn't until additional tests that were run that it was discovered I really was hurt (imagine that).
What is important to know when you are involved in a car accident is that NO MATTER how LITTLE the accident was go see a DOCTOR.
If you do require emergency care....make sure YOU or someone you trust knows what is going on and what treatment you are being provided. Emergency Room Doctors are NOT specialists...they are there to SAVE YOUR LIFE. It is essential that YOU or someone you trust knows what is going on.
If you are going to a Doctor that still uses the standard x-rays your injuries may be missed. What happens when injuries are missed...you are treated WRONG. Often times your symptoms are treated and not the injury.
Digital Motion X-Rays (DMX) can find injuries that the standard x-rays miss. When you have DMX your injuries are discovered sooner which means your injuries are treated sooner....not just treating the symptoms!
