The Different Types of Internal Injuries
Injuries that May Not Be Visible, But Can Cause Substantial Suffering
Often, when you’ve been hurt because of the wrongful acts of another person, the most debilitating injuries are the internal injuries you’ve suffered. Often, they can be difficult to diagnose and treat. That doesn’t mean they won’t have a significant impact on your day-to-day life. When you’ve sustained internal injuries in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, you want an experienced lawyer to protect your rights. You want the Law Offices of Michael R. De La Paz.
The Wide Range of Internal Injuries that May Be Caused by an Accident
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that nearly 10,000 people in the United States seek treatment in hospital emergency room every day for injuries suffered in a car accident. The vast majority of those visits entail some treatment for internal injuries, which may include:
- Internal bleeding or hemorrhaging, often characterized by a bruise or discoloration of the skin
- Damage to internal organs, such as the liver, kidneys, heart or spleen
- Damage to connective tissue, cells or blood vessels
- Damage to internal structures caused by the penetration of an object
What Are the Symptoms of an Internal Injury?
Internal injuries in your stomach or chest will commonly cause shortness of breath, chest or abdominal pain, tenderness in the skin, nausea and vomiting, blood in your urine or dark stools. In your muscles or joints, you can expect a loss of range of motion, uncharacteristic swelling, or pain upon movement.
