INTERNAL INJURIES ON NEW YORK JOB SITES

Falls and electric shocks are two causes of internal injuries on New York construction sites.

Some New York construction accidents result in internal injuries, such as organ damage, internal bleeding, and soft tissue damage. Falls from heights, electric shocks, impalement, and crushing or pinning injuries are among the common causes of internal injuries for construction workers. Internal injuries can range from moderate to severe, depending on the accident and the site of the injury. Some of the most commonly injured internal organs are:

• liver
• lungs
• spleen
• gall bladder
• kidney

In the event of an internal injury, immediate treatment at a hospital or trauma center is imperative in order to avoid long-term damage or death. However, trauma to internal organs is not always easy to identify in the immediate aftermath of an accident. This can have tragic consequences for the victim and the victim’s family.
