CAN A LOW IMPACT ACCIDENT STILL CAUSE INJURY?

CAN A LOW IMPACT ACCIDENT STILL CAUSE INJURY?
Many might think that just because a low impact car accident has occurred due to a low speed, there will either not be an injury or the injury will be too minor to address.

SHOULD I GIVE THE INSURANCE COMPANY A RECORDED STATEMENT?
