Understanding Internal Injuries Cases

Common Causes

In New Braunfels, internal injuries cases often trace back to conditions on I-35 and near I-35 through New Braunfels (one of the most dangerous stretches of interstate in Texas). Local drivers and pedestrians encounter these specific risks when navigating these corridors.

  • Blunt force trauma from car and truck accidents
  • Seatbelt compression injuries during high speed collisions
  • Falls from heights causing abdominal and chest impact
  • Pedestrian and cyclist accidents involving vehicle strikes
  • Crush injuries at construction sites or workplaces
  • Physical assaults causing internal organ damage

Typical Injuries

Accident victims in New Braunfels are typically transported to trauma centers including Christus Santa Rosa Hospital (New Braunfels). The following injuries are common outcomes of these incidents.

  • Ruptured spleen requiring emergency removal
  • Liver lacerations and internal hemorrhaging
  • Kidney damage and loss of kidney function
  • Punctured lungs and pneumothorax
  • Intestinal and bowel perforation
  • Aortic tears and internal vascular injuries

Establishing Liability

For internal injuries claims filed in Comal, liability often turns on evidence gathered from specific New Braunfels locations, including I-35 through New Braunfels (one of the most dangerous stretches of interstate in Texas).

Internal injuries present unique challenges because symptoms may not manifest immediately after the accident, sometimes taking hours or days to become apparent. Emergency room records, CT scans, and surgical reports document the existence and severity of internal injuries. Delayed onset of symptoms does not diminish the claim, but it makes prompt medical evaluation after any significant accident essential for both health and legal reasons.

Relevant Texas Law

Residents of New Braunfels pursue these claims under the same Texas statutes that govern all state personal injury actions.

The discovery rule under Texas law may extend the statute of limitations when internal injuries are not immediately diagnosed. Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 16.003 ordinarily provides two years, but delayed discovery of internal damage can affect when that period begins. Emergency medical expenses, surgical costs, blood transfusions, and ICU care are all recoverable, along with long term consequences such as organ removal or reduced organ function.
