Any traumatic impact can cause severe damage to the body’s internal systems — even when there are few or no visible signs at first. Internal injuries frequently worsen over time and can become medical emergencies if not promptly diagnosed and treated.
You should seek immediate medical attention after any accident involving force or impact, including:
- Car, truck, or motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian or bicycle accidents
- Slip and fall accidents
- Falls from heights
- Workplace accidents
- Crushing or machinery-related injuries
If another party’s negligence caused your accident, a Georgia personal injury attorney can help you hold them financially accountable.
Common Types of Internal Injuries
Internal injuries vary widely in severity and long-term impact. Some of the most common internal injuries we see in accident claims include:
- Internal bleeding caused by damaged blood vessels
- Traumatic brain bleeding (subdural or intracranial hemorrhage)
- Pneumothorax (collapsed lung) from chest trauma
- Broken or fractured ribs, often leading to organ damage
- Liver lacerations or internal bleeding, common in auto accidents
- Ruptured spleen, which can cause life-threatening blood loss
- Kidney damage, often from rear or side-impact collisions
- Abdominal aorta injuries, caused by severe compression
Any of these injuries can lead to permanent complications, multiple surgeries, or death if not treated quickly.
Signs and Symptoms of Internal Injuries
Because internal injuries are not always immediately obvious, victims may delay treatment. Warning signs include:
- Abdominal pain or swelling
- Dizziness or fainting
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain
- Severe headaches
- Nausea or vomiting
- Bruising that worsens over time
Delaying treatment can significantly worsen outcomes — and insurance companies often use delays to dispute claims.
Proving Liability in an Internal Injury Claim in Georgia
To recover compensation, you must show that another party’s negligence caused your injuries. Common causes include:
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Drunk or distracted driving
- Failure to obey traffic laws
- Unsafe premises conditions
- Employer safety violations
Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You may recover damages as long as you are less than 50% at fault, though your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
Compensation for Internal Injury Victims
Victims of internal injuries may be entitled to compensation for:
- Emergency medical care and hospitalization
- Surgeries and ongoing treatment
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Long-term disability or impairment
- Wrongful death damages for surviving family members
At Van Sant Law, we work with medical experts and financial professionals to fully document how your injuries affect your life — now and in the future.
