Orange County Internal Injury Attorneys

Many of us have suffered traumatizing accidents in our lives. Whether it be a collision with a vehicle, a slip at the pool, or a defective product blowing up in our face, we all know how scary these accidents can be. What is even scarier, however, is when an accident leaves us suffering from an invisible injury: organ damage.

Damage to your organs is one of the worst injuries you can suffer. Internal trauma can be difficult for medical professionals to treat and will often require extensive surgeries, medications, and physical therapy to fix. Even after your treatment ends, it is still possible that you will be left with a lifelong disability. Why should you suffer for so long from an accident that wasn’t even your fault? If you or a loved one have suffered organ damage due to someone else’s negligence, then we at Leslie Law Firm want to help.

Lungs: The lungs are protected by the ribs, which make sure that even when your chest is hit with a high enough force, your lungs are able to keep operating as normal. However, it is possible that your ribs can break and potentially puncture one or both of your lungs. Broken ribs are also less capable of protecting your lungs, which can lead to your lungs collapsing. Both kinds of injuries can be fatal if not treated fast enough.

Heart: Your heart is responsible for keeping blood flowing through your body. Like your lungs, it is protected by the ribs. However, a hard-enough blow to the chest could lead to bruising, tears, or ruptures. All of which can hinder the regulation of blood throughout the body.

Brain: Brain damage is a serious issue. While the brain is protected by the skull, a sudden impact or jerking motion can cause the brain to slam against hard bone. If this is done with enough force, it can lead to bruising or bleeding, both of which could have serious ramifications, and even be fatal.

Abdomen: The abdomen houses many organs, including the liver, the spleen, and both intestines. Unlike your chest, the abdomen doesn’t have any protective layers of bone, so when it’s hit by something, there is little to stop the force from causing damage. In car accidents especially, the abdomen is often heavily bruised by seatbelts and steering wheels.

Kidneys: Our kidneys help filter the food and liquids we take in, getting rid of any toxic material that could be harmful to our bodies. A bruised or torn kidney, both of which are common injuries from auto accidents, can be extremely dangerous.

Blood vessels: Veins, arteries, and capillaries are not technically organs, but are responsible for blood flow through the body. If your blood vessels are torn due to an accident, especially an artery, that can lead to internal bleeding. Just as you can bleed out from a severe cut, you can also bleed out from a torn blood vessel. Internal bleeding is one of the leading causes of death when it comes to internal trauma.

Time and time again we at Leslie Law Firm have seen just how devastating accidents can be, especially those caused by negligent individuals. Organ damage requires time and careful treatment to heal properly, and even then, a missing lung or scarred heart is likely to restrict your abilities for a lifetime. If you have suffered organ trauma due to someone else’s negligence, then you deserve justice.
