Car accidents can have a profound impact on the lives of the victims involved. From physical injuries to emotional trauma, the aftermath of an accident is often far-reaching and long-lasting. This is why it’s crucial to seek medical treatment and legal assistance as soon as possible. In this comprehensive report, we’ll explore the importance of medical treatment following a car accident, common types of injuries, the concept of hidden injuries, and the statutes of limitations in New York.
Seeking medical attention right after an auto accident is crucial for several reasons, including safeguarding your health, obtaining necessary documentation, and protecting your legal rights.
Seeking medical attention immediately after an auto accident is essential to protect your health, document your injuries, and safeguard your legal rights.

Visible Injuries – These are the injuries that are immediately apparent and can be seen or felt right after the accident. Some common examples of visible injuries include:
Hidden Injuries – Hidden injuries are not immediately apparent and may take hours, days, or even weeks to manifest. Some examples of hidden injuries include:

I’m a 9/11 first responder, and I can honestly say that Parker Waichman made me feel like they had my best interest in my VCF case. Ms Candalino & Ms Viti are top notch in my book.
