THE EFFECTS OF AN INJURY MAY NOT BE CLEAR AT FIRST.
Often times, clients feel fine immediately after an auto wreck or work accident, only for the adrenaline to wear off. Then, the pain sets in and they regret not seeking medical attention or filing an incident report. If someone is discouraging you from filing, you should not trust that person, as there is never a reason not to report an incident. At the very least, an injury report can start to prevent future injuries.
