Internal injuries are not always visible, but they can be life-threatening. Blunt force trauma from a crash, fall, or impact can damage organs, rupture blood vessels, or cause internal bleeding without breaking the skin. You may not notice symptoms right away, but the consequences can be severe if left untreated. These injuries often require emergency care and long-term medical attention.
When you’ve suffered this type of injury, you need an advocate who knows how to uncover the full scope of your damage and take action. Fieger Law builds strong cases backed by medical evidence, case analysis, and legal strategy. If someone else caused your injury, you should not be left paying the price. We help you pursue compensation that reflects the seriousness of your condition.
Common Types of Internal Injury Cases
Internal injuries vary in severity, but every case demands urgent medical attention and focused legal action. Many come from crashes, falls, or sudden impacts where another party acted negligently. What makes these catastrophic injuries especially dangerous is that symptoms may not appear immediately. Without proper diagnosis, the damage can worsen and lead to lasting complications.
Here are some of the internal injury cases we take on:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Internal bleeding
- Organ damage
- Ruptured spleen
- Punctured lungs
- Abdominal injuries
We take on the toughest internal injury cases in Michigan. Some involve life-threatening damage. Others lead to lasting health problems that never go away. We know how to handle complex claims that require medical knowledge and legal skill. If your injury changed your life, we are ready to fight to protect your rights.
Common Causes of Internal Injuries in Michigan
Internal injuries are often caused by sudden force or violent impact. You may not see the damage right away, but it can be severe or even fatal. These injuries happen in everyday situations where someone acted carelessly or broke the rules. Knowing how the injury happened is the first step in building a strong legal case.
Common causes of internal injuries include:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle crashes
- Workplace incidents
- Medical malpractice
- Slip-and-fall accidents
Diagnosis and Treatment of Internal Injuries
Your internal injuries aren’t always obvious after an accident. You might feel sore, lightheaded, or short of breath without knowing what’s really going on. In serious cases, the symptoms can come on fast. Doctors use imaging tools like CT scans or ultrasounds to find the injury and figure out how bad it is. For this reason, getting a clear diagnosis early makes a big difference.
Your treatment depends on which internal organs were damaged. Some injuries need surgery. Others may call for blood transfusions or long-term monitoring. You may need weeks or even months to fully recover. We look at the medical records, timelines, and treatment details to understand what you went through. If your injury changes how you live or work, that needs to be part of your case.
The Hidden Dangers of Internal Injuries
It’s common to feel fine after a crash or fall, only to have pain or swelling show up later. Some internal injuries cause bleeding or infection that gets worse without warning. If you wait too long to get care, the damage can be permanent. Plus, it can impact your personal injury claim. That’s why timing matters.
Internal injuries can affect your health for years. You may lose energy, mobility, or the ability to do the things you used to. There can also be emotional fallout, such as stress, anxiety, or fear that your condition might come back. We understand how these injuries affect your life, not just your body. Your case should reflect everything the injury has taken from you.
Financial Impact of Internal Injuries
Internal injuries can create a heavy financial burden. You may walk away from an accident thinking you’re fine, then face unexpected hospital stays, specialist visits, and long-term care. Some people lose income for weeks. Others need help at home or ongoing rehab. When someone else caused the injury, those costs should not fall on you.
Here are common financial losses you may incur from your injuries:
- Medical treatment costs
- Long-term care expenses
- Lost wages and earning capacity
- Rehabilitation costs
- Home modification expenses
Compensation for Internal Injury Cases in Michigan
Compensation for your internal injuries depends on how the injuries happened and how they impacted your life. Damages may include medical records, financial losses, and the long-term effects of your condition. The type of case you have determines the kind of compensation that may apply.
Damages Available Under Michigan Law
You can recover direct financial losses caused by your injuries, including medical bills, lost income, and future care costs. We can also look into pain and suffering, as well as emotional distress. If your injury caused permanent damage, your claim may include loss of future earnings or long-term medical needs tied to the trauma.
Michigan No-Fault Insurance Coverage
If your injury came from a car crash, Michigan’s no-fault law may cover some of your expenses. Personal Injury Protection (PIP) helps with medical treatment, wage loss, and replacement services. No-fault coverage does not include pain and suffering unless your injury qualifies as a serious impairment under state law. That legal threshold must be met to seek full compensation from the at-fault driver.
Documentation Needed to Prove Damages
Internal injuries are not always visible, which makes documentation even more important. We gather hospital records, test results, and care plans that show what you went through. We also include pay history, job details, and long-term care estimates. The goal is to create a clear picture of what the injury has taken from your health, time, and income.
