Internal Injuries from Accidents or Medical Negligence
Internal injuries can be serious and carry lasting consequences. Whether caused by a high-impact collision, a fall, or medical malpractice, these types of injuries often require extensive medical intervention, prolonged recovery, and in some cases, lead to permanent damage.
At Perley-Robertson, Hill & McDougall LLP/s.r.l., we understand the complex and often devastating impact internal injuries can have. If another party’s negligence caused your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation, and we are here to help you obtain it.
Common Types of Internal Injuries We Handle
The term “internal injuries” covers a wide range of serious conditions. These injuries are not always immediately visible, which can delay diagnosis and treatment, putting individuals at greater risk. At Perley-Robertson, Hill & McDougall LLP/s.r.l., we have helped clients recover compensation for many forms of internal trauma caused by negligence, accidents, or medical errors. Some of the most common types include:
• Bladder Injuries: These injuries often result from car accidents, falls, or complications during childbirth or surgery. Damage to the bladder or uterus can lead to long-term pain, incontinence, reproductive issues, or the need for corrective surgery.
• Gynecological Injuries: Our firm has experience with cases involving trauma to reproductive organs due to medical malpractice, surgical negligence, or blunt-force trauma. These injuries can have profound physical and emotional effects, particularly when they impact fertility, intimacy and cause ongoing pain.
• Spleen Damage: A ruptured or injured spleen is typically the result of high-impact trauma and often requires emergency surgery. Even when surgery is avoided, patients may face a heightened risk of infection or require close medical monitoring for months after the incident.
• Lung Injuries: Punctured or bruised lungs can occur in motor vehicle accidents, industrial incidents, or assaults. These injuries may result in breathing difficulties, collapsed lungs (pneumothorax), or require surgical intervention and respiratory support.
• Other Organ Damage: Vital organ injuries can be catastrophic. Whether caused by a fall, crush injury, or medical oversight, trauma to the heart, liver, kidneys, or stomach may result in internal bleeding, organ failure, or permanent impairment.
