Even a low-impact car accident during pregnancy can be a frightening, dangerous experience for the expectant mother. While the immediate priority is ensuring the well-being of the mother and child, the mother should take other steps to hold accountable those who caused the crash. A Houston car accident attorney can help you do just that if you find yourself in this situation.
A low-impact collision can result in severe injuries to an unborn baby, even if the mother feels relatively fine. Contact emergency services or visit the nearest emergency room to ensure that you and your baby receive a thorough medical evaluation.
Notify your obstetrician or healthcare provider about the accident as soon as possible. They can provide guidance and recommendations based on your individual circumstances and may advise you to undergo additional monitoring or tests to assess the well-being of the baby.
The sudden jolt or impact of a car accident, even at low speeds, can cause trauma to the mother’s abdomen and potentially affect the developing fetus. This trauma can lead to complications such as placental abruption, preterm labor, or fetal distress.
Another reason to see a doctor immediately is that some injuries might not be apparent right away. For example, internal bleeding can pose severe risks to both the baby and mother and require prompt medical attention.

Prompt diagnosis allows you to begin critical treatment and create a record of your injuries.
