Hi all,
Monday I was sitting stationary at a cross roads when the woman in
front of me pulled out suddenly and was hit by a 4X4 vehicle, she span
straight into me after the collision after the crash. We were all fine
and needed no hospital treatment.
However I have had a headache ever since which I reported to the
doctor ion the day of the accident. My insurance company have not asked
me any questions regarding my own health since the accident. Is it my
duty to tell them?
Thanks
Sam

How else are they supposed to know?

I am not a medical profession but if I were you I would go to my local
casualty, explain the situation and get your head checked out. Better safe
than sorry.

Internal head bleeds are most likely within the first 48 hours of a trauma.
You would not expect a skin cut to heal completely within a couple of days
and you should equally not expect a shaken head to heal in such a timeframe.
A headache is normal after such an incident and is not serious. If it was
serious the person involved would not now be typing this question but would
be in hospital. If the headache persists after two weeks then investigate
further but it will likely have long gone.

If he's posting here, he needs his head checked out in any event.

Concussion maybe? I had it once, none of the docs warned me about it and I
ended up going to casualty again a few days later demanding someone actually
take a proper look as I was getting really easily disorientated and my
awareness of movement was very dodgy (ie, the car to the side of me would
pull away, and I wouldn't be sure if I was rolling backwards or if the car
was actually pulling away). I'd get down to the doctors.

What did they advise? It is likely they told you to take it easy for a few
days and to take some Panadol rather than aspirin.

TBH I don't remember them advising anything. They couldn't even tell if my
nose was broken or not...
