Traumatic accidents are as likely to leave you with internal injuries as they are external ones. In some cases, these internal injuries are more difficult to identify than their external cousins. That doesn’t make them any less severe. Nor does the intangibility of an internal injury make it impossible for you to seek compensation for these sorts of losses.
That’s why Cape Coral internal injury attorneys want to help you bring the scope of your injuries to the attention of a civil judge. With help from the Viles & Beckman firm, you can present a comprehensive complaint within Florida’s statute of limitations. Together we can fight for the internal injury compensation you need to overcome the cost of your recovery.
You Deserve Compensation for an Internal Injury
Internal injuries require as thorough attention as external ones, if not more. Unfortunately, treating these losses can be expensive. Finding the funds you need to contend with your losses can be a challenge, particularly if your condition prevents you from working.
This is where a legal complaint comes into play. Internal injury complaints allow you to pursue financial support for your losses outside of what your insurance company may provide you. You can use your complaint to request that a liable party help you pay the bills related to your essential care.
When you request compensation for your internal injuries, you can include:
- Medical treatments you’ve already paid for
- Upcoming medical treatments, mobility aids, and pain management
- Physical therapy
- Property damage related to your accident
You can also discuss what non-economic multiplier may apply to your case during your initial case consultation. Our Cape Coral, FL, internal injury lawyers can include losses like pain and suffering alongside your initial calculation. In doing so, we help you fight for more than the funds to cover your losses but also the means you need to restore your previous quality of life.

Identifying Internal Injury Cases
You have an internal injury case on your hands if you’re contending with a condition like the following after an accident:
- Internal bleeding
- Traumatic head injuries
- Injured and/or ruptured organs
- Brain bleed
- Punctured lungs
Internal injury cases allow you to bring your concerns before a judge and jury. In your complaint, you can argue that a particular party bears the liability for your aforementioned injury. If you have evidence to prove that a party’s negligence contributed to your losses, you may later summon that party for settlement conversations.

The Importance of Crossover Between Medical Malpractice Suits and Internal Injury Cases
Internal injury cases are classified as personal injury cases when they go to civil court. That said, there can be some crossover between these cases and medical malpractice lawsuits. If you believe medical malpractice played a role in your internal injuries case, you can file your suit either as a medical malpractice suit or as an independent complaint.
Your choice of categorization for your complaint may change to what compensation you may be entitled to as well as the deadline you have to work on. With that in mind, discuss your preferred case categorization with a professional. Internal injury lawyers in Cape Coral can determine which path may lead you to the most possible compensation for your losses.
Click To ContactEstablishing an Internal Injury Complaint
To build an internal injury complaint, you need to determine who you want to hold liable for your losses. When you name a particular party, make sure you have evidence on hand to back your statement. You can present that evidence alongside your claim to a county clerk.
Make sure you submit your internal injury complaint within Florida’s deadline. Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a) permits victims to take up to two years to gather the information they need to establish liability. You cannot take legal action against another party if you don’t submit your paperwork within this two-year deadline.

- Photos or videos depicting your accident
