Internal Injuries Are Serious and May Be Difficult to Identify
Internal injuries can require hospitalization and surgery, and may even lead to death if they are not recognized and treated quickly enough. Some types of internal injuries that may occur in a traffic accident include:
- Internal bleeding
- Broken ribs
- Punctured and collapsed lung
- Ruptured spleen or gallbladder
- Kidney or bladder damage
- Lacerations or bruising to other internal organs
The possibility of internal injuries is one reason why our team recommends all accident victims undergo a medical evaluation as soon as possible following a collision. While internal injuries often cause significant pain, which is the most common sign, symptoms do not always occur immediately. In addition, the adrenaline your body releases following an accident can reduce the pain you feel.
Bruising may also develop if there is internal bleeding, but this could take hours or even days. When you see a doctor, they will evaluate you for signs of internal injuries in addition to more obvious injuries, such as broken bones or lacerations. Signs of internal injuries could include tenderness in your stomach, pain with breathing, feeling faint, fatigue, pale complexion, and blood in your urine.
Your doctor will likely order tests and medical imaging based on your specific symptoms and injuries. It is important that they rule out life-threatening conditions before releasing you.
Seeking this medical attention will also provide you with evidence to support your personal injury claim. The Bader Law Injury Lawyers team may be able to help you document your injuries and medical care expenses, as well as other damages when building your case.

How Bader Law Injury Lawyers Can Help with a Warner Robins Internal Injury Case
A Warner Robins internal body injury lawyer with Bader Law Injury Lawyers can take steps to:
- Prove negligence occurred and caused your accident
- Assign liability to the driver or another negligent party
- Gather evidence to support the claim
- Interview witnesses
- Enlist the help of experts as needed
- Develop an argument to support your claim
- Prove your required treatment and other expenses are recoverable damages
- Put a value on your economic and non-economic losses
- File an insurance claim based on the at-fault driver’s liability policy
- Negotiate an out-of-court agreement with the insurance company, if possible
In some cases, it may be necessary to take your case to court. This usually occurs when the insurance company:
- Refuses to accept the responsibility of their policyholder
- Refuses to agree to a fair settlement amount
- Alleges you contributed to the accident
When the insurer blames the accident on you—either in full or in part—the court will need to decide the percentage of fault to assign to each party. Under O.C.G.A. § 51-11-7, you can recover compensation as long as you are not equally or more at fault. However, if you are more than 0 percent at fault, your payout will go down proportionally.
Our team can represent you based on contingency fees. You will not need to pay us for our services upfront. Rather, we will receive our fees only after securing financial recovery for you.
