Why Some Injuries Show Up Hours After an Accident in Delaware
After a crash, some injuries may not show clear symptoms right away. Adrenaline and shock can mask pain, making it common for people to feel fine at first and notice discomfort later. This is especially true in crashes at intersections, where sudden impact forces can affect the body in less obvious ways. Even low-speed impacts can lead to delayed symptoms.
People involved in these incidents may later experience soreness, stiffness, or headaches. Soft tissue injuries, such as strains or sprains, often take time to develop noticeable symptoms. In some cases, more serious issues like concussions or internal injuries may also appear gradually, which is why early medical checks are important. Keeping track of new symptoms can help guide follow-up care.
