Minor accident treatment importance: ① even low-speed impacts (15+ km/h) can cause whiplash, ② symptoms often delayed (24–72 hours after accident), ③ injuries may worsen if untreated, ④ documentation is important for insurance claims, ⑤ examination is free even if no treatment needed. Recommendation: get checked even if you feel fine, return immediately if symptoms develop. 70% of accidents that lead to chronic problems were initially considered minor. Better to confirm than regret.
