Internal Organ Damage

If you have sustained internal organ damage as a result of someone else's negligence or carelessness or as a result of an occupational injury, the Northern Illinois personal injury and workers' compensation attorneys here at the Law Offices of Steven J. Malman & Associates, PC, may be able to help right away.

The causes of organ damage in our population are manifold. Everything from improperly conducted surgeries to slip and fall accidents to food poisoning can lead to damage of sensitive tissues and/or organs, which can in turn result in extreme pain, chronic illness, skyrocketing medical costs, and possibly even death.

Obviously, the extent and potential dangers of internal organ damage depend on a variety of factors, such as:

The victim's age, general health, and immune system capabilities.
The overall severity of the damage.
Whether the damage is acute (e.g. a puncture wound to an organ), chronic (e.g. caused by a degenerative disease), or both.
Whether the trauma that led to or stemmed from the damage impacted other tissues or organs.
The time between when the patient sustained the injury and when he or she received treatment.
The degree to which the initial treatment succeeded in repairing and/or stanching the damage.
The degree to which to the treatment exacerbated the injury or made it more difficult for the injury to be treated.

Given that anything from dietary deficiencies to occupational hazards to other peoples' carelessness can lead to injuries/illness that can cause internal organ damage, it takes great patience and sound investigative work to build a case to get compensation for damages and monies lost.
