What types of accidents cause internal injuries in Brockton?

Our Brockton internal injury lawyers have 35 years of experience holding defendants accountable for all types of serious injuries, including internal injuries. We work with many different professionals and, through the discovery process, to show why defendants should be held liable. Our team can also coordinate with your doctors and our network of medical experts to verify your injuries, all the treatments you need, and every way your life is difficult and traumatic because of your internal injuries.

Some of the types of accidents that can cause internal injuries in Brockton include:

  • Vehicle accidents. The forces, impacts, and movements of car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, and bicycle accidents can all cause internal injuries.
  • Product defects. Products that explode, cause vehicle accidents and other defective products that place pressure on any body part can cause internal injuries. Chemicals, drugs, and other products that users inhale or digest are another cause of internal injuries.
  • Workplace injuries due to vehicle accidents with trucks, bulldozers, cranes, and other vehicles; falls from scaffolding, ladders, and other heights; respiratory illnesses or injuries; defective equipment, machines, and tools; and many other causes.
  • Premises liability claims, including slip and fall accidents and violent assaults due to negligent security
  • Medical malpractice
  • Construction accidents

We file personal injury actions on behalf of everyone except employees. Our team also handles workers’ compensation actions on behalf of employees. If a third party, such as a manufacturer, is responsible, we may be able to file personal injury actions on behalf of employees.

What types of internal injuries do you handle in Brockton?

Our Brockton internal injury lawyers represent accident victims who have any type of internal injury, including the following:

  • Traumatic brain injuries. These injuries can occur when a driver or passenger strikes a dashboard, another part of the vehicle, another occupant, or just because their head moves violently back and forth. Motorcycle riders, pedestrians, and bicycle riders can suffer TBIs when they strike another vehicle and/or the hard ground.
  • Crush injuries. A forceful accident can damage a victim’s ribs – which, in turn, can damage the spinal cord, organs, and blood vessels. Crush injuries can puncture a lung – causing the lung to collapse. Crush injuries can be deadly.
  • Abdominal injuries. Many accidents can compress a victim’s stomach or rupture the abdominal aorta – often causing the victim to die.
  • Organ injuries. Damage or failure of an organ due to blunt trauma can cause severe pain and death. Organ injuries require immediate medical attention. Your organs and their functions include the following, according to the Cleveland Clinic:
    • Liver. The liver helps sustain life by filtering toxins from your blood.
    • Kidneys. The kidneys remove waste from your blood through your urine and balance your fluids and electrolytes.
    • Heart. The heart delivers oxygen-rich blood to all of your other organs.
    • Lungs. Your lungs deliver oxygen to all of your body’s tissues.
    • Small intestine. This organ “absorbs most of the nutrition from your food that your body needs to operate. Damage to the stomach can cause malnutrition or starvation.”
    • Brain. The brain tells your other organs how to function.
    • Spleen. This organ “stores and filters blood and makes white blood cells that protect you from infection.”

Some of the signs of internal bleeding, which is a sign of organ damage, include feeling cold, pain in the abdomen, thirst, fatigue, lightheadedness, and a pale complexion.

Our experienced personal injury attorneys have successfully handled accident claims involving the following internal organ damage:

How are internal injuries treated in Brockton?

The treatments for organ damage vary depending on which organ suffers damage and the severity of the injury. Organ injuries require immediate medical attention because they can be life-threatening.

Rest and medications may help. Surgery may be necessary. In most cases, organ damage victims require extensive rehabilitation.

An example – abdominal trauma

According to Stanford Medicine’s Children’s Health Department, the doctors will examine the victim’s pulse and blood pressure. “A rapid pulse and falling blood pressure indicate internal bleeding.”

The diagnosis and treatment of abdominal injuries include:

  • Inserting an IV line and fluids to stabilize a victim’s blood pressure
  • Blood tests to measure the victim’s volume of blood and to prepare for possible blood transfusions
  • Blood tests, if liver injury is suspected, to look for abnormal liver enzymes
  • Surgery to repair any internal bleeding
  • A CT scan, after the blood pressure is stable, to search for any organ damage
