Internal Injuries Most Commonly Caused by a Dallas Car Accident

The impact of your Dallas car accident likely did serious damage. One of the more severe injuries our Fort Worth car crash lawyers see is internal injuries. Many of these injuries require immediate surgery. If the injury is not quickly identified, shock can set in, followed shortly by coma and even death.

Symptoms of internal bleeding should be treated seriously. Please see a doctor immediately if you or a loved one is displaying any of the following signs or symptoms:

  • Pain in the abdomen
  • Pale skin color
  • Fatigue
  • Excessive thirst
  • A feeling of cold, not being able to warm up
  • Lightheadedness

The Most Common Types of Internal Injuries

Read on to learn more about the most common types of internal injuries caused by car accidents and to find out the best way to get the compensation you need to cover your losses and medical bills.

  • Broken ribs: When the ribs break it is not only very painful, the broken rib can puncture nearby organs, causing additional internal damage.
  • Pneumothroax: This injury is usually caused by a broken rib. The lung may be punctured by the broken bone, allowing air to escape the lung and enter the chest cavity. As the injury may not cause pain or breathing problems, often the only way to identify pneumothorax is to do a chest x-ray.
  • Ruptured spleen: A blow to the side, such as hitting the car door during an accident, can rupture the spleen. Internal bleeding usually results and removal of the spleen is usually required.
  • Abdominal aorta rupture: If the stomach receives a hard blow or is compressed, the aorta can rupture. Unfortunately, this injury is usually fatal.
  • Injuries to other organs: Commonly injured organs include the kidneys and liver. Injury to these organs most often causes uncontrolled internal bleeding.
