probably just bruising, but do NOT sign anything that says you're medically ok from the other guy's insurance company until you feel better and are confident that you're fine. I did that once and then it got worse, not better and the isurance company wouldn't cover any further doctor's visits since I signed off that I was ok.

Yes i think it 's because of the accident .If the doctor's did an x-ray and every thing is O.K i would not worry so much .But if it goes on for a long time get a second opinion.

The pain came from you wearing the seat belt. It will go away though.....If the doctors said everything looks fine after the x-rays, it should be fine, just need time to heal the bruises.
I said this based on my accident too.

Most likely yes. Xrays will confirm if anything was broken and as they said, nothing was. Xray will not determine internal bruising, therefore, due to the impact, it's most likely minor bruising. If after a week it still hurts the same, then revisit your doctor.

He would desire to crash right into a lamppost or an electric powered submit. the lady smells the fumes and observe's the leaking electric powered sparks, that would ignite the vehicle in flames in any 2d. He additionally would desire to go through whiplash, A herniated (slipped) disk happens while all or part of a disk interior the backbone is compelled by way of a weakened part of the disk, broken nostril, and scrapes from the smashed window. A broken leg is quite to OTT for merely being street off. the vehicle would desire to spin in a circle with him slowly loosing administration and then finally hit the electrical powered line.

it could be because the seatbelt pushed against your chest or if the air bag went off it hit you on the chest
