Motor Vehicle Accidents

Visiting the Er after an accident

While it might seem tempting to skip a visit to the ER after an accident, it’s crucial to remember that not all injuries are immediately obvious. Even a seemingly minor crash can cause significant damage, and the longer you wait to get treatment, the greater the risk of complications.

At Kyle ER & Hospital, we are equipped to help you with motor vehicle related emergencies, whether it’s identifying hidden internal injuries, lowering the risk of long-term health issues, or simply the giving you the peace of mind that comes with knowing you’re safe.

Our seasoned Emergency Physicians and Radiologists know what to look for, and with advanced imaging and lab, you’ll get accurate results, fast.

Reasons to seek out emergency care after an accident:

hidden injuries can be life-threatening

Not all injuries are immediately apparent. Some injuries, such as internal bleeding, organ damage, or soft tissue injuries, may not present symptoms right away. These types of injuries can be life-threatening if left untreated.

preventing long-term health problems

Diagnostic tests are crucial for uncovering hidden injuries that you might not feel or notice at first. Without proper evaluation, these injuries could worsen over time, leading to chronic pain or more severe complications.

Legal & insurance implications

Seeking medical attention at the ER ensures that there is an official record of your injuries. This can be essential for documenting your injuries and establishing a timeline of injury.

peace of mind

After a traumatic event like a motor vehicle accident, adrenaline can mask pain and other symptoms. It’s common for people to feel “okay” shortly after the accident, only for symptoms to surface hours or days later. An ER visit offers reassurance that you are in good health.
