Get checked out thoroughly by a good doctor and don't settle for the first lameduck settlement the insurance company will throw at you...you will have pain that will be with you forever. |
Luckily I can deal directly with my own doctor and his referral for a chiropractor or whatever other specialist I need to see. Even the bodily injury claims adjuster from State Farm told me today to get my neck and back looked at for the exact reason you mentioned. He also said I can make an injury claim up to 10 years after the accident (obviously only if they can relate any pain to the prior accident). Neck and shoulders are definitely VERY tight today but I presume that's to be expected.
