Do I have a personal injury claim if I don’t feel hurt?

You should not assume that you don’t have a personal injury case if you don’t feel any pain or other symptoms of injury right after an accident. Many accident injuries do not begin manifesting pain or other symptoms for days or weeks after an accident due to the adrenaline rush that comes from the excitement and stress of an accident. You should begin preparing to pursue a personal injury claim right after an accident even if you don’t think you’ve been injured, since you may begin to experience symptoms in the days and weeks following an accident.
