Medical Overview: Internal Bleeding
Internal bleeding is diagnosed via CT scan and blood tests. Emergency surgery may be required to stop the bleeding and repair damaged organs. Spleen, liver, and kidney injuries are common sources. Hospitalization and ICU care are typically required.

How Internal Bleeding Affects Your Case Value
Internal bleeding cases demonstrate severe injury and often involve emergency surgery and ICU stays, both of which significantly increase case value. The life-threatening nature of the injury and the emotional trauma associated with it contribute to higher noneconomic damages.
Under Colorado law, both economic damages (medical bills, lost wages) and noneconomic damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress) are recoverable. Noneconomic damages are capped at approximately $642,180 but can be increased to approximately $1 million with clear and convincing evidence. The severity and permanence of your internal bleeding directly affects your total case value.
