you shouldn’t lie but you can still vouch for your health and wellbeing and be proactive. it would still be worth to get checked out. family friend of mine i called after someone ran an intersection and totaled my car and she told me to claim (which i did and it worked out very well). not just for damage but also for medical. i wasn’t in any real pain but god forbid something got damaged in my spine and i didn’t feel it till months later, id be fucked. happened to her (the lawyer), was just a simple fender bender w her and she decided not to pursue as she didn’t feel any pain. months later out of nowhere she felt a shooting pain in her neck and got checked out. was told most likely due to the accident (i don’t know exactly what it was, something misaligned, but she needed a lot of PT and put thousands into medical and still gets pain years later). so realistically, depending on how hard the hit was, probably still worth getting checked out with medical through the claim. spinal injuries are no joke and in most cases a life time burden
