From Jennifer Porter Law, PLLCWhat if My Injuries Don’t Appear Until Days or Weeks After the Accident in Virginia? explores the complex reality that many car accident injuries in Virginia may not become apparent until long after the crash. This episode breaks down what to do when pain, psychological symptoms, or internal injuries surface days or even weeks later—and how that timing can affect your legal rights, recovery, and compensation options under Virginia law.

We’ll discuss the importance of early medical evaluation, even if you feel fine, and why documenting your symptoms, keeping a pain journal, and photographing visible injuries are essential steps. Learn how injuries like internal bleeding, whiplash, traumatic brain injuries, and even PTSD often go unnoticed in the immediate aftermath of an accident. This episode dives deep into how these delayed symptoms can still be tied to the original event and what victims must do to strengthen their legal case.
