Common Automobile Accident Injuries.
Preliminarily, it is important to recognize that after a car accident, there is a chance that your symptoms related to injuries from the crash might take hours or even days to become noticeable. As a result, you may feel fine and have no symptoms despite having sustained an injury in the crash.
