Signs of Neck Injury After a Head-On Collision

If you were involved in an Atlanta head-on car crash, you may feel lucky to have escaped without injury.  And, you are lucky.  Head-on car crashes account for ten percent of fatal accidents. But, even if you feel fine, you may have sustained serious injuries. A head-on car crash can put a lot of strain on a crash victim’s neck.  But, the symptoms of a neck injury may not appear for hours, days, or even weeks after the crash.  If you don’t get treatment for your neck injury, you may end up with chronic pain. Atlanta car accident lawyer Shane Smith suggests that all Georgia accident victims see a doctor to screen for hidden injuries and soft tissue injuries.  But, remember some neck injuries take time to develop symptoms.   Symptoms of neck injury include:
  • Pain or stiffness in the neck
  • Pain, stiffness, or tingling in the shoulder, arm, or hand
  • Sleep problems
  • Poor concentration and memory
  • Blurry vision
  • Ringing in the ears
  • Fatigue
  • Weakness

If you suffer any of these symptoms in the weeks after a car accident seek medical attention. Treatment of neck injuries should be covered by insurance.  However, the insurance company may refuse to pay your claim if you delayed treatment.
