One of the most significant problems with an auto accident is that afterward, it can leave your body hurting and the pain can interfere with your work, home life, and joy. But injuries aren't always noticed or recognized right away.

We are always amazed when we see an automobile accident which annihilates the car, but the driver emerges from the wreckage unharmed. By the same token, when there is an accident in which the vehicle is barely scratched, it seems incongruous to see the driver hauled away on a spine board.
