Internal injuries are a serious type of injury that can occur as a result of a car accident. These injuries happen when the internal organs are damaged, and can range from minor injuries that only cause mild pain to more serious injuries that can result in permanent damage or even death. Internal injuries can be difficult to diagnose, as they may not cause any immediate symptoms, and can be life-threatening if not treated promptly.
Internal injuries can happen to any part of the body, but some of the most common areas that are affected in car accidents are the head, chest, and abdomen. They can happen due to the impact of the accident, or due to flying debris, such as broken glass. These types of injuries can be painful and can cause significant swelling and discoloration. In some cases, they may also cause nerve damage, scarring, or even disfigurement.
There are several types of internal injuries that can occur as a result of an car accident, including:
Diagnosis of internal injuries typically involves a physical examination, imaging tests, and laboratory tests. A physical examination will assess the individual's level of consciousness, balance, and coordination, as well as any other physical symptoms. Imaging tests, such as CT scans or MRI can reveal any physical damage to the internal organs and laboratory tests can detect internal bleeding and other injuries.
Treatment for internal injuries will depend on the severity of the injury. Minor injuries can be treated with rest, medication, and physical therapy. More serious injuries may require surgery and long-term rehabilitation, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech therapy.

It is also important to consult with an Alabama attorney who can help guide the process of filing a claim and make sure that the injured party is fully compensated for their damages and losses.
It's important to be aware that insurance companies will often try to settle claims quickly, for an amount that is less than what the injured person is entitled to.
