When an Accident in Chicago Results in Internal Injuries (Part A)

When an individual is injured in a serious accident in Chicago, some of the trauma may not be as readily visible as broken bones, cuts, scrapes or bruises. Internal injuries to the head, chest or stomach-which are far more difficult to assess without a thorough medical exam-could lead to internal bleeding, which can be life-threatening.

Even when not fatal, internal injuries can have a life-altering effect on the accident victim. If you have been injured in an accident in Chicago that has caused you to suffer internal injuries, you may be eligible to pursue compensation in a personal injury claim. You may benefit from the help of a Chicago personal injury lawyer who can assist you with filing your claim while you focus on your healing and recovery.

 

The Dangers of Internal Injuries

Areas of the body that may suffer internal bleeding after an accident in Chicago include the brain, eyes, muscles, joints and the heart. Other body organs, cavities and tissues are at risk of injury, as well.

Internal injuries are not always immediately evident after an accident in Chicago. In fact, symptoms of internal bleeding may not show up until hours later. Often, it is not until an accident victim has been seen in the emergency room that a doctor is made aware of the full extent of the patient’s internal injuries.

 

The danger in this is that by the time an internal injury has been discovered, there may have been a significant amount of blood loss.

There is also the danger that a blood clot could form and eventually press against an organ and cause it to function improperly.

When a vein or artery is damaged after an accident in Chicago and it begins to bleed, the extent of internal bleeding will depend on how well the body is able to stop it, as well as the severity of the damage.
