Following a car accident, some injuries might be invisible. This is true for internal organ damage and internal bleeding, as you cannot see these conditions without diagnostic testing. If you suffered internal bleeding from a crash and someone else was at fault, you should speak with an experienced car accident lawyer in Reno as soon as possible.
Internal bleeding affects an internal organ or other area inside the body. The concealed bleeding may trigger certain symptoms, depending on where it occurs. Some of these symptoms may include:
Treating the condition in the aftermath of a car crash is critical in identifying and supporting the medical care needed or in receiving compensation for a personal injury claim.
It’s important to remember that the most common reason for internal bleeding is trauma to the body. This trauma is often connected to an auto accident or a bad fall. A traumatic accident applies excessive force to the blood vessels, which leads to tears and bleeding.
Your lawyer will use the following information to prove the severity of your injuries from the car accident and any problems you faced with bleeding internally.
Your medical records are used as written proof that your accident caused you to bleed internally. The documentation is used to provide details about the nature of your injuries, their seriousness, and how they affected your health.
You should record any symptoms you experience after an accident. Problems with breathing, a rapid heartbeat, or dizziness could suggest that you’re bleeding internally.
Also, the symptoms you’re experiencing can point to where the internal bleeding is occurring.
For example, if internal bleeding is in the head, it may cause:
When internal bleeding is diagnosed in the chest or abdomen, you may experience:
Internal bleeding in the muscles or joints may result in the following:
Your lawyer will seriously take your symptoms into account when figuring out damages.
Your attorney may also use tests like a CT scan, x-rays, or a blood test as evidence for showing you had internal bleeding.
For example, blood tests can show your blood count to support how fast your blood clots. A doctor can also check for internal bleeding by determining your platelet count or by performing a liver function test.
In addition, a stool test, balloon-assisted enteroscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, and similar tests can reveal a great deal about your condition.
Sometimes, a medical expert may be called to show how your injuries led to problems with internal bleeding.
Showing how internal bleeding has affected you medically and financially is necessary to obtain damages in a personal injury accident claim. To learn more about your rights, contact Kidwell & Gallagher right away.
