This may be especially true for more serious injuries, such as a traumatic brain injury, where the symptoms are more subtle. But just because you don\u2019t \u201cfeel pain\u201d immediately after a crash, it does not mean you were not injured. Symptoms may take days or even weeks to surface. This makes it imperative that you immediately seek medical attention after an accident.Common Car Accident InjuriesMore than two million people are injured in motor vehicle accidents every year. Your odds of getting into a crash are one out of 366 every 1,000 miles distance driven. Some collisions cause minimal damage, while others result in traumatic injuries and even death.Injuries that are commonly suffered by car accident victims include:\u2022 Traumatic brain injuries\u2022 Spinal cord injuries and paralysis\u2022 Back and neck injuries\u2022 Scarring and disfigurement\u2022 Bone fractures\u2022 Major lacerations\u2022 Soft-tissue injuries\u2022 BurnsSymptoms for most of these injuries are realized at the scene of the crash or soon thereafter. However, signs and symptoms of certain injuries, like a head or brain injury, may not be apparent immediately following the accident. Symptoms can take days or even weeks to surface, and by then the injuries may have significantly progressed. This is why it is important to get medical attention after a collision, even if you feel fine and don\u2019t show any symptoms.Why Do I Not Feel Immediate Pain After a Collision?The human body has a way of tricking us into feeling like we are not hurt. Our body releases adrenaline when a crash or other traumatic accident happens. The stress we feel in these situations often masks the pain of an injury for days or even weeks after the trauma. This is referred to as \u201cstress-induce analgesia.\u201dAnother reason you might not feel pain immediately after a crash is swelling. Swelling is caused when fluid in white blood cells moves into the injured area to promote healing. The pressure from the swelling on your nerves can cause the pain \u2013 but this takes time which causes the delay in you actually feeling the pain.For this reason, you need to immediately go to the doctor to be checked out after an accident, even if you feel no pain.Call a New Jersey Car Accident AttorneyIf you or someone you know has suffered any type of injury in a car accident caused by the reckless or negligent actions of another driver, an experienced New Jersey car accident injury attorney can help.
