Zeidwig, we are committed to representing victims who have suffered such injuries, ensuring they receive the compensation they deserve.
Common Internal Injuries Resulting from Car Accidents
Internal injuries from car accidents are typically caused by blunt force trauma or penetrating injuries. The most common internal injuries include:
- Organ Damage: The intense forces involved in car accidents can cause severe trauma to internal organs, including the liver, spleen, kidneys, and lungs. Organ damage may result from blunt force trauma, such as the impact of a seatbelt, or penetration injuries caused by sharp objects or broken bones.
- Internal Bleeding: Damage to blood vessels can lead to internal bleeding, which may not be immediately visible but can be life-threatening if untreated.
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): Head impacts during a collision can cause concussions or more severe brain injuries, affecting cognitive function and overall health.
- Fractured Ribs: The force of a collision can cause ribs to break, potentially puncturing lungs or damaging other internal organs.
- Punctured or Collapsed Lungs: Broken ribs or direct trauma can lead to lung injuries, causing breathing difficulties and requiring immediate medical attention.
Recognizing Symptoms of Internal Injuries
Internal injuries may not present immediate symptoms, making prompt medical evaluation crucial after a car accident. Warning signs include:
- Abdominal pain or swelling
- Dizziness or fainting
- Deep bruising
- Shortness of breath
- Headaches or confusion
Ignoring these symptoms can lead to severe complications or death.
