Miami Internal Bleeding Lawyer: Sean M. Cleary

Types of Internal Bleeding Cases We Handle

There are many different types of internal bleeding cases, and each requires specialized knowledge and investigation techniques. Our firm will pursue justice for internal bleeding injuries regardless of how they occurred:

• Personal Injury Cases: Car accidents, slip and fall incidents, construction site accidents, and other traumatic events resulting in internal organ damage, ruptured blood vessels, or abdominal injuries leading to internal bleeding.
• Medical Malpractice Cases: Puncturing organs or blood vessels, failing to diagnose internal bleeding symptoms, medication errors causing bleeding complications, as well as anesthesia mistakes causing internal trauma.
• Product Liability Cases: Faulty pharmaceuticals that cause gastrointestinal bleeding, faulty medical devices that perforate organs, dangerous blood thinners that fail to warn, and defective vehicles that fail to protect occupants.
• Wrongful Death Cases: When internal bleeding tragically results in the loss of life due to another party's negligence,  families are left to pursue justice.

Recognizing Internal Bleeding Negligence

Internal bleeding requires prompt medical attention. A healthcare provider may be held liable for failing to recognize warning signs or respond appropriately. It can mean the difference between recovery and permanent disability if diagnosis and treatment are delayed. Negligence may be indicated by several red flags:

• ER staff dismissing abdominal pain or trauma symptoms
• Physicians failing to order appropriate diagnostic tests
• Surgeons causing accidental organ or vessel damage in procedures
• Medical staff not monitoring patients properly after surgery
• Delayed recognition of bleeding complications from medications
• Inadequate pre-operative screening for bleeding disorders
• Failure to have proper emergency protocols in place
• Ignoring patient complaints of severe pain or weakness

Our Comprehensive Legal Approach Ensures Maximum Recovery

The importance of preserving evidence and obtaining medical expert testimony should not be underestimated when internal bleeding occurs. Our legal team works with emergency medicine physicians or surgeons to identify violations of acceptable standards of care.

Every aspect of your case is thoroughly investigated, from the initial incident through all medical treatment. We estimate future medical needs and costs by analyzing accident scenes, reviewing medical records, consulting with specialists, and consulting with life care planners.

There is often a long recovery period and chronic health complications associated with internal bleeding injuries, and you can seek compensation for:

• Emergency medical care
• Surgical procedures
• Ongoing treatment
• Rehabilitation expenses
• Lost income during recovery
• Diminished earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Long-term health monitoring
• Loss of enjoyment of life
