Almost everybody says they are fine at the scene. It is the most natural thing in the world to say, and it is the sentence that gets read back later.

Serving Centerville and the surrounding Montgomery County area from our nearby Dayton office.
At the roadside, most people are embarrassed, shaken and mainly concerned with whether the car will move. Asked how they are, they say they are fine, because that is what people say.
Two days later the neck will not turn. A week later the headaches start. Three weeks later an MRI shows a disc that is not where it should be.
None of that is unusual and none of it is inconsistent, but the record now contains a statement that says you were fine, and it will be quoted. Adrenaline masks a great deal at the time, soft-tissue injuries commonly take days to declare themselves, and concussion is frequently not recognized at the scene by anybody present, including the person who has it.
The practical answer is not to lie at the roadside. It is to get seen promptly, to describe symptoms honestly at every appointment rather than minimizing them, and to understand that the gap between the crash and the first medical visit is the thing an insurer will build its argument on.
What you said at the roadside matters to the first of these. The other two never ask you that question.
Centerville is an affluent suburb, and the pattern here is a familiar one: people who are insured properly, who are inclined to be reasonable at the roadside, and who say they are fine before anybody knows whether they are.
Centerville is in Montgomery County. A claim that does not settle is heard at the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas at 41 N. Perry Street in Dayton, in the Montgomery County Courts Building.
Being reasonable early does not extend anything. Ohio generally allows two years from the date a personal injury claim arises to file it (Ohio Revised Code § 2305.10), however long the treatment turns out to take. General information about the law, not advice about your situation.

They are a fantastic group of people that care about their clients. I had the most wonderful experience with them. They helped me with my case and they are super professional but also a balance of lovely compassionate people. Steven and Ben are so sweet and always helped me when I had any questions or paperwork with no judgment.
From the first day I spoke with Mr Steve Casper he was certain we would win my case. He gave me all the confidence that I needed. It's been a long journey but well worth it. We made it and with a win!! Mr Steve Casper is amazing. Ben his assistant is very nice and very knowledgeable too.
I had been working with a large firm for YEARS all to get a letter that said wish you well in the future. Now Casper, Casper & Casper have took action immediately and have been more than proactive in my case in less than month. Very professional and outstanding care and they call you back within the same day.
I've had the pleasure of knowing Steve Casper for over 20 years. I've always appreciated Steve's integrity, humility, and sense of humor. He's very intelligent and yet down-to-earth. I wholeheartedly trust and recommend Steve and Casper, Casper, Casper.
Casper, Casper & Casper were all very professional when I had to speak with them and they made me feel just as important as everyone else's case. They helped me tremendously in a reasonable amount of time. I also was impressed how they get right to the point, no beating around the bush, I appreciate that.
They were very excellent and very quick with my case because I'm not very good at filling out paperwork they did it all for me. It was easy for me and it didn't take very long and they had my case settled I appreciate everything they have done and I will be referring them to other people.
General information, not legal advice. Every case turns on its own facts. The only way to know where yours stands is to have someone look at it.
No. It is what nearly everybody says and it is explainable, particularly where the medical records show symptoms developing in the ordinary way. What matters far more is what you did next: whether you got seen, and whether you described the symptoms accurately once you had them.
Very common, and not fatal. Go now rather than deciding it is too late, and say when the symptoms actually started rather than rounding it to the day of the crash. An accurate account is easier to defend than a tidy one.
That varies too much by injury and by person for a page like this to put a number on, and a number here would be worth less than a proper examination. What is consistent is that a delay of days is ordinary rather than suspicious.
