1. Get Medical Help Right Away

The first step is to seek immediate medical
attention and get treatment for any injuries that
may have been sustained. Teens are young and
resilient and may try to brush off their injuries
as minor, but the truth is that some injuries
(such as whiplash, also known as soft-tissue
injury) may not hurt much at first but can become
debilitatingly painful once some time has gone
bypossibly even days after the accident
occurred.
