Pelvic and Abdominal Injuries After a Car Accident

Pelvic fractures sustained in car accidents — particularly in side-impact crashes and high-speed frontal collisions — are among the most dangerous orthopedic injuries. The pelvis contains major blood vessels, and pelvic fractures can cause life-threatening hemorrhage requiring emergency surgery. Abdominal organ injuries — to the spleen, liver, kidneys, or intestines — may not produce obvious symptoms immediately but can rapidly become fatal if not surgically addressed. Seatbelt injuries can also cause 'Chance fractures' of the lumbar spine alongside internal abdominal injuries. Long-term complications of pelvic fractures include chronic pain, hip instability, sexual dysfunction, and urological complications that may require ongoing treatment.

Compensation for Your Injuries

  • All past and future medical expenses including surgery and rehabilitation
  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering and mental anguish
  • Physical impairment and disfigurement
  • Life-care costs if injury requires ongoing treatment

Two-Year Statute of Limitations (§16.003): File within two years or lose your right to sue. Comparative Fault (§33.001): Recover as long as you are not more than 50% at fault. No fee unless we win.

How do I prove the severity of my injury to an insurance company?
We work with your treating physicians and independent medical experts to document your injury thoroughly — including imaging results, treatment records, functional assessments, and expert opinions on long-term prognosis. Insurers minimize claims; we build the evidence to counter that.
What if my symptoms appeared days after the crash?
Delayed symptoms are common after car accidents — especially for soft-tissue injuries, concussions, and internal injuries. Document everything with your doctor and contact us immediately. Delay in seeking care is used by insurers to dispute injury claims, but delayed onset is medically well-documented.
