Many people do not correlate certain symptoms (such as anxiety, depression, sleeping issues, anger or fear associated with travel) to their accident. There is also a misconception that only high speed or hard impact collisions can cause serious damage to person’s body. It has been found that these two beliefs are largely responsible for the vast number of injuries that fail to receive treatment following automobile collisions. The first thing to remember when making the decision to seek appropriate care is to understand that a large number of injuries can occur following many different types of collisions.

While injuries such as fractures, cuts, concussions, and dislocations are immediately noticeable, other forms of damage to musculature, blood vessels, and nerves may not become evident for months or even years. When these injuries become evident months and years down the road, insurance companies are often not held liable for reimbursement. It is important that you undergo a complete evaluation immediately following your accident by a provider in our network who is a specialist treating your specific injury. Your doctor(s) at Greater Kansas City Accident & Injury Network is here to help you in this process.
