Common Delayed Symptoms After a Collision

Many accident victims experience symptoms that don’t appear immediately after the Lodi state highway crash:

• Headaches: May indicate a concussion or traumatic brain injury (TBI).
• Neck or shoulder pain: Could be a sign of whiplash, soft tissue damage, or nerve injuries.
• Lower back pain: Potentially caused by herniated discs, lumbar sprains, or spinal cord injuries.
• Abdominal pain: May indicate internal organ damage or seatbelt-related injuries.
• Limited mobility or range of motion: Could be due to various musculoskeletal injuries.
• Numbness or tingling: Possibly caused by nerve damage or spinal injuries.

Other delayed symptoms can include dizziness, confusion, sleep disturbances, and persistent pain that worsens over time.

How an Injury Lawyer Can Help

An experienced personal injury attorney can assist in overcoming these challenges:

• Utilize the discovery rule: In many jurisdictions, the statute of limitations can be paused until the date the injury is discovered or reasonably should have been discovered.
• Gather strong medical evidence: Lawyers can work with medical experts to establish a clear link between the accident and delayed injuries.
• Handle insurance negotiations: Attorneys can deal with insurance companies to ensure fair compensation despite delayed symptoms.
• File within the statute of limitations: In most cases, victims have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim, but an attorney can advise on specific deadlines and exceptions.
• Present expert testimony: Lawyers can bring in medical professionals to explain the nature of delayed injuries and projected future symptoms.
