Williford Law | Catastrophic Injury Representation for Life-Threatening Internal Trauma
Internal Injuries Are Easy to Miss — But Impossible to Live With
Organ damage is one of the most dangerous and misunderstood forms of personal injury.
It may not be visible after an accident, but it can lead to internal bleeding, surgical removal, permanent disability, or death.
At Williford Law, we represent clients across Houston and Texas who have suffered internal organ injuries caused by another’s negligence. Whether your injuries resulted from a crash, a fall, a workplace incident, or medical malpractice, we treat internal injury cases with the urgency, expertise, and trial focus they deserve.
We Handle Serious Internal Injury Cases From:
- High-speed car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian or cyclist collisions with vehicles
- Falls from heights, scaffolds, or ladders
- Construction and industrial crush injuries
- Workplace accidents involving blunt-force trauma or heavy machinery
- Medical malpractice (delayed diagnosis, surgical error, hospital neglect)
- Assault and battery causing internal bleeding or rupture
- Product failure (seatbelts, airbags, or industrial equipment)
- Nursing home negligence leading to untreated organ failure
- Wrongful death following catastrophic internal damage
If your organ injury required emergency surgery, hospitalization, or removal, you deserve serious compensation.
Common Organ Injuries in Civil Claims
| Organ Affected | Medical Consequences |
| Liver | Internal bleeding, bile leakage, infection, or liver failure |
| Spleen | Rupture, surgical removal (splenectomy), lifelong immune vulnerability |
| Kidneys | Renal trauma, loss of function, long-term dialysis |
| Lungs | Pneumothorax (collapsed lung), pulmonary bruising, respiratory distress |
| Intestines/Bowel | Perforation, sepsis, multiple surgeries, colostomy |
| Pancreas | Enzyme leakage, internal inflammation, digestive dysfunction |
| Bladder or Urethra | Incontinence, chronic infection, surgical repair |
| Heart or Pericardium | Cardiac tamponade, pericardial bleeding, fatal arrhythmia |
| Reproductive Organs | Hysterectomy, testicular loss, infertility, or sexual dysfunction |
We collaborate with trauma surgeons, radiologists, and critical care specialists to fully diagnose and document these internal injuries — and their lifelong consequences.
Symptoms and Long-Term Effects of Organ Damage
- Delayed internal bleeding or hemorrhagic shock
- Sepsis and systemic infection
- Ongoing pain, fatigue, or pressure symptoms
- Hormonal disruption, immune system suppression
- Gastrointestinal dysfunction or chronic urinary issues
- Infertility, sexual dysfunction, or hormonal imbalance
- Organ transplant or removal (nephrectomy, hysterectomy, bowel resection)
- Long-term hospitalization or ICU recovery
- Death from undiagnosed or improperly treated trauma
Just because the injury is hidden doesn’t mean it’s minor. These cases often involve long-term impairment, permanent medical needs, or fatal outcomes.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
We pursue full damages, including:
- Emergency trauma surgery and hospitalization
- Diagnostic testing (CT, MRI, ultrasound, endoscopy, blood work)
- Organ removal and post-surgical care
- Chronic care (dialysis, hormone therapy, GI treatment)
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and loss of dignity
- Loss of future income and earning potential
- Home and vehicle modifications for long-term disability
- Funeral expenses and wrongful death compensation
- Life care plans tailored to the client’s future medical and financial needs
We build every case using life care planners, vocational experts, and medical illustrators to fully present your injury to insurers, judges, and juries.

FAQs: Organ Damage Lawsuits in Texas
How do I prove my internal injury if it wasn’t obvious at the scene?
We rely on medical records, trauma reports, imaging studies, surgical notes, and expert reviews to document how and when your injury developed, and why the defendant is liable.
Can I recover if my organ had to be surgically removed?
Yes. Organ loss (like kidney, spleen, or bowel removal) is compensable — especially when it causes permanent disability or chronic health conditions.
What if I had delayed symptoms or complications?
Internal injuries often appear hours or days later. We help you prove causation and fight back against insurers who claim your injuries are “unrelated.”
What if the injury led to death?
We pursue wrongful death claims for families — including funeral costs, future income loss, pain and suffering, and survival damages.
