Internal bleeding is one of the most insidious types of personal injuries. Many times, internal bleeding goes undiagnosed and can lead to severe medical issues and, in severe cases, death. Car accidents, domestic violence, and workplace accidents are a few of the common causes of internal bleeding. Whatever the cause of your internal bleeding, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries in Canada. Treatment for internal bleeding injuries is often extremely costly. Additionally, many internal bleeding injuries are excruciating and cause significant suffering for those affected.

Common Causes Of Internal Bleeding Injuries

The following accidents can cause the force necessary to result in internal bleeding:

  • Car accidents
  • Bicycle accidents
  • Pedestrian accidents
  • Violence
  • Workplace accidents
  • Sports injuries
  • Diving accidents
  • Medical malpractice
  • Slip and fall accidents

Blunt Force Trauma Can Cause Significant Internal Bleeding

Almost all internal bleeding injuries result from impact or force to the body. Blunt force trauma is a common cause of internal bleeding. Sometimes even though the outside of the body does not show any physical signs of injury such as bruising or redness, internal organs become damaged. If the force of impact is strong enough, the lining or capsules of internal organs can become torn, resulting in internal bleeding. If someone’s liver or spleen is compressed by the blunt force trauma, bleeding from these vital organs can spill into the abdominal cavity. When injuries occur near someone’s kidneys, dangerous retroperitoneal bleeding can begin.

Bone Fractures Can Lead To Internal Bleeding

Bone marrow production can become negatively affected when bones fracture or break completely. Bone marrow is vital as it is responsible for the production of blood. When bones break, significant amounts of blood can become lost due to the plentiful blood supply running through every bone in the body become damaged. Some bones cause a considerable force to make them fracture or break. The pelvis bone, for example, is tough to break. The significant amount of force that it takes to break the pelvis bone can result in the tearing of blood vessels surrounding the bone. This massive tearing can result in significant internal bleeding around the area of the bone fracture.

Deceleration Trauma Causes Internal Bleeding

Deceleration trauma happens when a significant force causes organs to shift around inside the body. When internal organs move forcefully, blood vessels often tear from their attached organ. Tearing can lead to intracranial bleeding, epidural, or subdural hematomas.

One of the most severe instances of deceleration trauma relates to brain injuries. A forceful impact to the head can result in acceleration and deceleration injuries to the brain. In other words, upon impact, the brain will slam into the skull and then forcefully push back against the head. This forceful movement inside the skull can cause the surface of the brain itself to tear and the small veins running throughout the brain to tear and cause internal bleeding and pressure on the brain. Internal brain bleeding can cause paralysis, significant cognitive delays, and, in severe cases, even death.

Internal Bleeding Injuries Resulting From Medical Malpractice

In Canada, medical malpractice occurs when a doctor or health care provider acts negligently or recklessly in caring for his or her patient, and this negligence causes the patient to suffer an injury. Unfortunately, medical practitioners can negligently cause internal bleeding in their patients in several ways.

Surgeons can negligently cause new internal bleeding by nicking an artery or vein during surgery. In doing so, surgeons can cause additional medical complications, such as the need for more medications and surgeries. In severe cases, an accidental cutting resulting in uncontrollable internal bleeding can lead to death on the operating table.

Failure To Diagnose Internal Bleeding

First, a doctor may negligently fail to diagnose internal bleeding accurately. Symptoms of internal bleeding vary from person to person. In the heat of the moment of treatment, especially at emergency care centers, doctors can fail to notice the signs of internal bleeding. A medical doctor has a duty to provide reasonable care to his or her patients under the circumstances. This level of care includes recognizing the common symptoms of internal bleeding, such as:

  • Black stools or blood in the patient’s urine
  • Blood coming out of any orifices such as the nose, ears or mouth
  • Nausea, dizziness, or reduced mental function
  • Shock resulting from a decrease in the amount of blood in the body
  • Bodily trauma
  • Damaged blood vessels

Failure to accurately diagnose internal bleeding can lead to severe medical conditions. Internal bleeding can result in a significant loss of function in vital organs. In severe cases, undiagnosed internal bleeding can lead to death.

personal injury FAQs

Here are some commonly asked questions for personal injury claims

Every personal injury lawsuit is generally comprised of five main parts. The length of time each part takes can vary depending on the complexity of your case. Your lawyer will help you through each stage by providing tailored advice and strong legal representation. 

You can expect:

  • Statement of Claim: This is a formal document that initiates the personal injury claim against the at-fault party (or individual you are suing).
  • Examination for Discovery: This is a meeting where you and your lawyer will ask the opposing party questions about the claim, the accident, fault, and anything else that is deemed relevant. The opposing party will also have the opportunity to ask you questions.
  • Gathering of Evidence: Your legal team will gather a variety of evidence on your behalf to strengthen your claim. This might include medical records, police reports, images from the accident scene, witness testimony, expert opinions, and more. 
  • Mediation: If you would like to attempt to settle without going to trial, you will likely undertake mediation. Mediation involves you and the opposing party negotiating the terms of your settlement with the assistance of a neutral third party. 
  • Trial: If you are unable to reach a settlement during mediation, your claim will proceed to trial. During trial, your lawyer will present your case and the evidence they have gathered before a judge (and sometimes a jury). Once complete, the judge will decide the final amount of compensation you’re entitled to.

It’s important to note that a majority of personal injury claims are settled through mediation, out of court. Our Toronto personal injury lawyers help guide clients through each of these stages, so they don’t have to navigate the legal complexities alone.

Our personal injury lawyers work on a contingency-fee basis, meaning we only get paid if you win your case. A percentage of the settlement you receive will go towards lawyers’ fees. There are no upfront, out-of-pocket payments required.

When you’re injured in an accident due to someone else’s negligence, there are many different types of compensation you may be eligible to receive. The amount and kind will depend on the severity of your injury and the specifics of your case. 

Common damages you might claim include:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Out-of-pocket expenses
  • Loss of income
  • Housekeeping losses
  • Medical costs
  • Legal costs
  • And more

Our experienced Toronto personal injury attorneys will help maximize what you can recover by exploring your case and eligibility in depth. We aim to ensure that the compensation you receive reflects not only your current suffering, but the lifelong effects that your accident may have in the future.

In Ontario, you can sue for non-pecuniary damages if you have suffered a permanent and serious impairment of an important physical, mental, or psychological function, or permanent, serious disfigurement. This is known as the “threshold.” If you meet this threshold, you can sue for general damages such as pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and other similar losses.

The length of time it takes to settle a case depends on several factors, including the complexity of the case, the extent of your injuries, and whether the other parties involved are willing to settle. Some cases can be settled in a few months, while others can take years.

The length of time a personal injury claim can take varies widely according to the specifics of your case. While some cases settle in a matter of months, some can take anywhere from two to four years. 

Some factors that affect the duration of personal injury claims include:

  • Complexity of your injuries
  • Each party’s willingness to settle
  • Whether a claim goes to court
  • Insurance company cooperation
  • Availability of evidence
  • And more

When liability is clear or injuries/damages are more clearly documented, cases may move faster. A personal injury lawyer will make sure the process keeps moving, although sometimes delays (like court backlogs) are unavoidable. Seeking personal injury legal advice early may help you streamline your timeline.

In Ontario, generally speaking you have two years from the date of your injury-causing accident to file a claim. However, based on the circumstances of your individual case, this timeline could be subject to additional limitations.

After taking advantage of a free initial consultation with our personal injury lawyers, the strength of your case can be evaluated based on the evidence available and the specific circumstances of your accident. Our personal injury lawyers offer case-specific legal feedback to help you understand the strengths and weaknesses of your case and advise you on legal options that might be available.
