Emergency medical personnel asked if I wanted to go to the hospital. Should I?

It is never a bad idea to seek medical treatment and evaluation following a pedestrian accident, especially if you were struck by a car, thrown any distance, hit your head, or suffered other similar injuries. Even if you do refuse to go to the hospital, you should make an appointment to see your primary care physician as soon as possible. This can help ensure that you are not suffering from some latent internal injury that simply has not manifested itself outwardly yet.
