Almost everyone at one time or another will experience the misfortune of being involved in a car accident. Many car accidents, thankfully, involve minor impacts that result in very little, if any, property damage to the involved vehicles.
There is an assumption that a minor car accident does not and cannot cause personal injuries to the occupants of the vehicle. That is a myth that has been debunked by science. It is a fact that even a minor motor vehicle collision can cause an individual to experience personal injuries, and oftentimes, very serious personal injuries. Many people who experience a minor car accident do slowly develop pain stemming from the accident.
Sometimes, this pain can be delayed for days or even weeks, but before you know it, you have neck and or back pain that is not going away. For many people, this type of injury can even get worse and become very significant with time. That is why no matter how the accident happened, and no matter how little property damage was sustained to the vehicles, it is always wise to at least consult with a Boston personal injury lawyer for a free consultation following a minor car accident.
