With more than 222 million licensed drivers on the road in 2016, the United States definitely has a large group of people driving around on a daily basis. While this is wonderful in regards to connecting us to friends and family and even things like work and groceries, it can provide an issue when things go wrong. On average, it is estimated that over 37,000 people die on the U.S. roads every year due to car accidents. If you take into account the amount of people who are injured or involved in accidents, this number raises to over 2.3 million. There is no secret that driving a car is dangerous, after all we wait until a certain age and need to be licensed for a reason. While we naturally do everything we can to reduce our risk of being in a car accident, unfortunately they do still happen.

Regardless of the outcome of a car accident, they are never good. Even small fender benders can cause bruising, pain, and even things like whiplash. It also tends to hit your wallet pretty hard between the insurance rates and your medical bills. Even if there is no severe lasting damage done to your body, you will likely still be uncomfortable and in pain for a few days to a few weeks. This is in addition to the stress and fear response that many people have after they are in an accident. Having something like that happen can definitely shake you up, which is why it is so important to take care of yourself if you have been in a car crash of any severity. After all, you never know when something is going to show up after the impact.
