It's common practice in the U.S. to go to the hospital after just about any collision. If you turn out to have an injury and don't get it documented right away, the other driver's insurance might not pay, and you could get stuck with the bill. Health insurance will often shirk paying for things they think should have been covered by the other driver's liability insurance.
