FAQ

You need a doctor who specializes in providing the necessary care and diagnosis of auto accident injuries. Most hospitals will rule out life threatening conditions and release patients with medications. They normally do not provide healthcare for the underlying injuries that can often lead to future pain. Because soft tissues (muscle and ligaments) are injured in most accidents it is imperative to seek continued care so the injuries can properly heal and not cause chronic pain conditions in the future. After your hospital visit you need to make an immediate appointment with a specialist like the Oklahoma Injury Care roster who direct patient care between the center's multiple treatment options.

It has been researched and documented that the damage done to a vehicle in a collision does not necessarily relate to the damage to a human occupant. Even now, cars are manufactured so well that some auto accidents may leave nothing more than a scratch. When you swerve, stop or start suddenly, or move in an uncommon direction, you could suffer whiplash injuries. Whiplash is very common in auto accidents. It is ABSOLUTELY important to seek care in these situations. Despite the lack of visible evidence that your car was involved in an accident, your body may still show the signs and symptoms. You can still suffer injuries even in minor car accidents without damage.
