Types of Internal Injuries
When you make a personal injury claim, you are entitled to have all of your medical bills and costs paid. You are also entitled to recover monetary compensation if you cannot work due to your injuries; if your earning power is reduced; or if you experience pain and suffering and emotional distress.
The severity of your injury will determine how much you are entitled to receive from a personal injury claim. Some of the common types of internal injuries that occur as a result of accidents and that lead to claims include:
- Abdominal aorta aneurysms due to the abdomen being compressed or crushed.
- Broken ribs, which are common in auto accidents.
- Internal bleeding due to pressure from a force or impact that damages the blood vessels.
- Bleeding in the brain, which can occur due to closed or open head wounds and which can cause permanent brain damage.
- Pneumothorax, which is a collapsed lung that occurs due to the lung being punctured.
- A ruptured spleen, which can affect your body’s ability to fight infection or destroy bacteria. A ruptured spleen can cause severe internal bleeding and fill the abdominal cavity with blood if surgical correction does not occur promptly.
- Liver damage, which commonly occurs in auto accidents. Pressure from a force or impact can tear open the organ and/or cause internal bleeding.
- Kidney damage, which occurs when your back or lower flanks experience impact in an accident.
These are just a few of the common types of internal injuries that you may endure as a result of an accident. Unfortunately, almost any organ in your body may be hurt by impact and can cause you to suffer serious and ongoing medical issues.
If you’ve been injured in a Georgia car accident you should speak with an experienced car accident attorney as soon as possible. Please contact us online or call our office directly at (800) 234-9556 to schedule your free consultation.

I was in a car accident with a tractor trailer two years ago and David Van Sant came highly recommended for someone I could talk to about the situation. Best decision I've ever made! He fought for me in ways that was truly amazing. Thank you David, Michael and everyone in the office.

They were referred to me by a close friend of mine. Extremely professional, and asked the language I feel comfortable to discuss my case in. Alex Rusanov was my case manager and explained every aspect of my case during the process. I would highly recommend to use this law firm if you were injured in a car accident. Drive safe and stay alert!- Angela
