When an accident occurs due to a driver not paying attention, it tends to lead to severe injuries. This is due to the fact that the automobile may not have been adjusted in an attempt to avoid a collision from occurring, thus causing the accident to be extremely severe and causing injuries.

Following any type of accident, one should seek immediate medical attention whether injuries are evident or not. This will ensure everything is properly cared for and no further harm is done.
