Internal Injuries From Car Accidents

The impact of a car accident can cause injury to the kidneys, bowels, spleen, liver, heart, and lungs. Fractured ribs can puncture lungs and other internal organs. Internal injuries can be life threatening and require emergency medical treatment after an accident costing hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills.

Milwaukee Car Accident Attorney

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that more than 2.2 million drivers and passengers were treated in the emergency department as the result of being injured in motor vehicle crashes in 2018. Internal injuries resulting from blunt force trauma or penetrating wounds in car accidents account for a significant portion of those injuries.

Causes of Internal Injuries in Car Accidents

Impact to the body in motor vehicle accidents occurs in three separate ways:

Vehicle impact occurs when the motor vehicle collides with another vehicle or a stationery object.
Body impact occurs when the body slams into the steering wheel, windshield, dashboard, or some other structure within the car.
Organ impact takes place within the body when moveable organs, such as the liver, spleen, intestines, heart, or brain, collide with the body’s supporting structures, such as the ribs, spine, pelvis, sternum, or skull.

This type of injury can result from all types of accidents, including head on collisions, side impact or T-bone collisions, rear end collisions, rollover accidents, single vehicle crashes, and multi vehicle accidents.

Internal injuries can also result from penetrating trauma in an automobile accident. This happens when objects such as sharp metal or broken glass penetrate the body, tearing holes in blood vessels. According to WebMD, the most serious internal bleeding due to trauma occurs with:

Head trauma
Bleeding around the lungs
Trauma to the abdomen, such as lacerations of the liver, spleen, or perforations of other organs
Tears in large blood vessels near the center of the body
