How Can I Prove That Invisible Car Accident Injuries Exist?

 Posted on February 10, 2025 in Car Accidents

Car, truck, and motorcycle wrecks can cause extensive injuries. Many of these injuries are visible, such as broken bones, cuts, and bruises. However, internal wounds cannot be seen with the naked eye. Even so, proving that they exist and that your wreck caused them is necessary to obtain compensation.

What kinds of invisible injuries can require extensive proof? Why is proof even necessary? Your knowledgeable New Braunfels, TX personal injury attorney can gather the evidence you need to support your claim.

What Invisible Injuries Can a Traffic Crash Produce?

Every wreck’s dynamic is different, so there is no way to accurately predict the types of injuries an accident will cause. However, invisible injuries often occur that can significantly affect the victim’s physical condition and quality of life. These include:

• Brain injuries, which can cause personality changes, cognitive impairments, physical disabilities, and memory loss

• Spine injuries, sometimes leading to partial or total paralysis

• Pain and suffering, which can take many forms and decrease the victim’s enjoyment of life

• Organ damage, potentially leading to ruptures, internal bleeding, and organ failure

Any of these physical injuries can be life-threatening, and the emotional and mental impacts can be overwhelming. The effects of pain and suffering and brain injuries are sometimes challenging to prove.

Why Do I Have to Prove I Am Suffering from Invisible Injuries?

The process of seeking compensation typically begins with submitting an insurance claim against the party that caused your accident. Establishing another party’s negligence through an investigation determines fault and liability. The damages you could receive after a crash are dependent on case-specific factors. The term "damages" in these cases refers both to the specific losses you suffered and the monetary compensation attached to each loss.

Insurance company representatives may seem friendly and helpful, but their job is to pay you the least amount possible for your claim. One of the ways they could accomplish that goal is by disputing the severity of your injuries; they could even say that your invisible injuries do not exist.

Suppose you sustained a traumatic brain injury in an accident, and that led to personality changes and memory loss. Or, say you are experiencing severe anxiety and depression because your wreck caused a new disability. Those are intangible wounds. By claiming they do not exist, the insurer hopes to avoid liability for the related damages.
