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 develop silently for hours before symptoms become obvious. A passenger who walks away from a car crash, a worker who brushes off 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 appreciate how insidious the gap between injury and diagnosis can be — and we work with trauma surgeons, emergency medicine specialists, and treating physicians to verify the full extent of the internal damage, the treatment required to address it, and the long-term complications that commonly follow.
Internal injury cases commonly involve emergency surgery, blood transfusions, extended ICU stays, the removal of damaged organs, and ongoing complications that call for lifelong monitoring. Insurance carriers love to brush aside the long-term consequences of internal injuries, especially when imaging looks “normal” months after surgery. When you join the McKay Law family, we don’t accept that approach. We demand the highest possible 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, lost wages, lost earning capacity, the life-altering pain and emotional weight of living through an injury this life-threatening — and in the most tragic cases, the wrongful death of someone you cared deeply for.
