What are internal injuries?
During a car crash, a victim’s body is thrown around by the impact of the collision. The body may be flung from the vehicle into the street, or it may be flung around inside the vehicle where it could be crushed against a steering wheel or pierced by metal or glass from the damaged vehicle. Any of these can cause significant amount of injury to internal organs.
It isn’t always easy to identify an internal injury. Because the injury happens inside the body, the signs may not be evident. An EMT will gently probe the victim’s body looking for signs of tenderness or pain.
Because of the potential seriousness of internal injuries, it is suggested that all crash victims be examined in the emergency room. Too often, there are stories of people who seemed fine after the accident only to collapse a few days later from internal injuries. Don’t try to be tough and walk away.
If you’ve been seriously injured in a south Texas car wreck, contact the Brownsville car accident attorneys at The Cowen Law Group and get our free book, The Insider’s Guide to Texas Car Accident Cases. Call us today for a free consultation.
