Some of the most dangerous injuries after a traumatic accident are the ones you can’t see — and sometimes can’t even feel right away. Internal injuries include damage to the liver, spleen, kidneys, lungs, intestines, and major blood vessels, along with internal bleeding that can grow silently for hours before symptoms become obvious. A passenger who walks away from a car crash, a worker who dismisses a blow from a falling object, or a pedestrian who feels “just sore” after being struck by a vehicle can be hours away from a life-threatening medical emergency. At McKay Law, we know how insidious the gap between injury and diagnosis can be — and we consult trauma surgeons, emergency medicine specialists, and treating physicians to document the full extent of the internal damage, the treatment required to address it, and the long-term complications that frequently follow.
Internal injury cases frequently involve emergency surgery, blood transfusions, extended ICU stays, the removal of damaged organs, and ongoing complications that necessitate lifelong monitoring. Insurance carriers often try to brush aside the long-term consequences of internal injuries, especially when imaging looks “normal” months after surgery. When you partner with the McKay Law family, we don’t accept that approach. We fight for maximum compensation for emergency airlift and trauma care, exploratory and reconstructive surgeries, ICU and prolonged hospitalization, future medical monitoring, prescription medications, the loss or partial loss of organ function, missed paychecks, loss of livelihood, the profound pain and emotional weight of coming through an injury this severe — and in the most devastating cases, the wrongful death of someone you cared deeply for.
