Do I need an MRI after an accident in Houston?

Many people involved in an 18-wheel accident may not see an injury visibly or experience pain immediately. As a result, they may fail to undergo a post-accident medical examination. It is important to remember that the adrenaline you feel after being involved in an accident mask the pain. Inflammation from an accident can also take up to three days to occur in the body after a significant accident. It is even possible to have fractures or tears in the tissues without knowing it immediately!

Long-term Injuries

Long-term injuries are a very serious concern for anyone who was involved in an 18-wheel accident. Many people falsely believe that a small truck accident cannot cause severe injuries in the long run. However, medical research shows that even a little accident can cause permanent damage to muscles and tissues, in addition to displacing spinal discs or causing neck and spine injuries that can be very serious.

Obtaining an MRI can improve an injury’s validity if you file a claim with your insurance company. Lesions that cannot be seen visually or through an X-ray will be revealed with an MRI machine’s help. The most common types of hidden lesions, but revealed with the help of an MRI, are:

· Spinal cord

· Brain and Head

· Internal

· Back and Neck

· Tissue and/or Muscle
