There can be a number of reasons why these types of injuries occur, however it is often due to the violent shaking that vehicle occupants endure at the point of impact in a crash.

Common Internal Injuries from a Car Accident
After a traffic collision, it’s common for injured drivers and passengers to conduct self-evaluations of their bodies, while trying to look for any injuries that they may have sustained. In many cases, a doctor may examine the accident victim to see what physical damage has occurred.
Internal injuries present a number of dangers to the injured. This is because they can quickly develop into more serious conditions. Even slow-speed traffic crashes can result in serious trauma to the interior of the body. Regardless of how “serious” you deem a car accident, a thorough medical examination is essential. This will ensure that no internal injuries are present.
Some of the most common internal injuries from a car accident include, but are not limited to, the following:
Abdominal aorta aneurysm
A rupture to the abdominal aorta is caused by a compressed stomach, commonly seen in traffic crashes; this is generally a fatal injury.
Broken ribs
Fractured ribs have a dangerous potential to puncture or damage internal organs, such as lungs, or major blood vessels.
Internal bleeding
When damage is inflicted on blood vessels in the body and they cannot repair themselves or clot. Some common symptoms include: fatigue, thirst, lightheadedness, abdominal pain, pale complexion, feeling cold.
Organ injury
High-impact collisions can cause damage to the organs which can cause internal bleeding and/or the organ to shut itself down completely.
Pneumothorax
This happens when a broken rib causes a puncture in the lung. The lung then collapses and air is let into the chest cavity.
Ruptured spleen
Commonly associated with severe internal bleeding, a ruptured spleen often requires surgery to repair.
In addition to the above internal injuries from a car accident, crash victims may also experience internal bruising to various organs. If you or a loved one has suffered internal injuries from a collision, an internal injuries attorney will guide you through the legal process.
