Internal Injuries in Car Accidents

// GET THE COMPENSATION YOU DESERVE

Internal Injuries in Car Crashes

Car accidents are chaotic and distressing events that can result in many different injuries. While external injuries may be immediately apparent, internal injuries are a hidden threat that could lead to severe complications and even fatalities.

Our car crash attorneys at Kanner & Pintaluga believe every person injured in a car accident caused by someone else’s negligent or reckless actions, including self-driving cars, is entitled to maximum compensation for personal injuries, including internal injuries.

We’re proud of our reputation as aggressive trial attorneys, and believe the skill of our car crash lawyers is reflected in the successful recoveries we’ve negotiated and won for clients across the country.

Types of Internal Injuries Caused By Car Crashes

  • Internal Bleeding: The impact of a car accident can cause blood vessels to rupture, leading to internal bleeding. Internal bleeding often causes a delayed presentation of symptoms that can include dizziness, weakness or abdominal pain.
  • Organ Damage: The force generated during a collision, especially on impact with steering wheels or from the force of the abdomen pushing against seat belts, can cause serious damage to internal organs. Common organs damaged in car crashes include the liver, spleen or kidneys.
  • Fractured Ribs: Rib fractures are common in car accidents and can cause pain and puncture internal organs, particularly the lungs.
  • Abdominal Injuries: Trauma to organs like the intestines or bladder may occur, causing internal complications that may not manifest right away but can have catastrophic consequences, including life-threatening infections like sepsis if they’re not treated right away.

Our car crash lawyers have handled cases involving all types of internal injuries and are committed to helping individuals seek maximum compensation.

Treatment for Internal Injuries Caused by Car Crashes

One of the challenges with internal injuries is the delayed onset of symptoms. Unlike external injuries that may be immediately visible, internal injuries can take time to manifest noticeable signs.

This delayed presentation of symptoms can lead to a false sense of security for victims of car crashes, as they may not realize the extent of their injuries until it’s too late, leading to complications.

Anyone involved in a car accident should seek immediate medical evaluation, even if they believe they are unharmed. This will not only help individuals receive the medical care they need but also increase the likelihood of securing the compensation they deserve.

Medical professionals will conduct thorough examinations like imaging studies and diagnostic tests to identify internal injuries that may not be immediately noticeable.

Failing to have tests performed can call into question the source of your injuries and may leave an opening for insurance companies to argue that your injuries were attributable to something other than the car crash.

Why Insurance Companies Undervalue Internal Injury Claims

Insurance companies routinely deny or minimize internal injury claims because these injuries lack visible evidence that adjusters can easily document. The legal team at K&P fights these tactics by building comprehensive cases that force insurers to pay maximum compensation.

Common insurance company strategies include:

  • Claiming your internal injuries existed before the car accident.
  • Arguing that delayed symptoms prove the injuries are unrelated to the crash.
  • Offering quick settlements before the full extent of internal damage becomes apparent.
  • Requiring excessive documentation that victims cannot provide without legal representation.

Our attorneys immediately secure your medical records and work with expert witnesses to establish the direct connection between your car accident and internal injuries. We know how to counter insurance company denials and negotiate settlements that reflect the true cost of your internal injuries.

How We Prove Internal Injury Cases

Building a successful internal injury claim requires an aggressive legal strategy and medical expertise that insurance companies cannot dismiss. Our experienced trial lawyers use proven methods to maximize your compensation.

Here’s how our team works to prove internal injury cases:

  • Partnering with medical experts who testify about the severity of your internal injuries.
  • Obtaining comprehensive diagnostic imaging that reveals hidden organ damage.
  • Documenting all medical treatments, surgeries, and ongoing rehabilitation needs.
  • Calculating future medical expenses and lost earning capacity from permanent injuries.
  • Investigating the accident scene to prove the impact forces that caused your internal damage.

The attorneys at Kanner & Pintaluga never accept lowball offers from insurance companies. We prepare every internal injury case for trial, which forces insurers to offer fair settlements rather than face our aggressive courtroom advocacy.

Critical Legal Deadlines for Internal Injury Claims

Internal injury victims face strict legal deadlines that can permanently bar their right to compensation if missed. We will protect your legal rights by taking immediate action on your case.

Key deadlines include:

  • Reporting the accident to your insurance company within the required timeframe (varies by state and policy fine print).
  • Filing your personal injury lawsuit before the statute of limitations expires in your state (typically 2 years from the date of incident).
  • Preserving evidence before it disappears or gets destroyed.
  • Obtaining medical documentation while treatment records remain accessible.

Our legal team handles all paperwork and legal filings while you focus on recovering from your internal injuries. We never let insurance company delays or bureaucratic obstacles prevent you from securing the compensation you deserve for your car accident injuries.

Maximizing Damages for Long-Term Internal Injury Complications

Internal injuries from car accidents often require extensive medical treatment and create permanent disabilities that affect your ability to work and enjoy life. Our attorneys at Kanner & Pintaluga aggressively pursue all available damages.

Damages you may seek compensation for include:

  • Medical expenses including emergency treatment, surgeries, and ongoing care.
  • Lost wages from time away from work during recovery and rehabilitation.
  • Future lost earning capacity if internal injuries prevent you from returning to work.
  • Pain and suffering compensation for the physical and emotional trauma you endured.
  • Loss of consortium damages for how your injuries affect your relationships.

Our legal team fights for the maximum compensation that covers both your immediate needs and the long-term consequences of internal injuries. We never settle for less than what your case is truly worth.
