Weeks later, severe neck pain developed. Missing early medical records made it harder to connect the injury to the accident, complicating treatment approvals and the claims process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Case B: Early documentation makes a difference: <\/strong>Another driver sought medical care within 24 hours and kept detailed records of symptoms and treatment.
