Should I have taken an ambulance to the hospital from the scene of a car accident? Philadelphia personal injury lawyer explains why you should take an ambulance to the hospital following a car accident if you feel any twinge of pain, tightness, or inflammation.

Many of our NJ and PA personal injury clients tell us that they were too embarrassed to take an ambulance from the scene of a car accident to the hospital. These injured clients usually end up driving themselves right to the hospital (if their car is drivable) or have their spouse or a family member drive them to the hospital. For obvious reasons it is best to get to a hospital as soon as possible to get evaluated and stabilized. After an auto accident you are in shock, shaky, and certainly are not thinking clearly. Driving yourself will not only put yourself in further danger, but also the other people on the road. For non-life threatening injuries, a hospital will x-ray any painful body parts or joints, make a diagnosis, and prescribe you muscle relaxers and pain relievers. These medications will come in handy the evening following the car accident. Embarrassment is silly when your future health is at stake! Don't compromise; take that ambulance directly to the hospital.
