Internal injuries can be life-threatening and are not always obvious. Here is why they demand immediate attention.
The Silent Threat
Blunt force from a crash or fall can injure internal organs and cause internal bleeding with few outward signs. These injuries can become emergencies quickly.
Recognizing the Signs
Abdominal pain or swelling, dizziness, fainting, deep bruising, and shortness of breath can all signal internal injury. Prompt emergency evaluation can be lifesaving.
In a Claim
Internal injuries often mean serious medical bills and recovery. Documentation from emergency and follow-up care establishes the severity and value of the claim.
