Negligence and wrongdoing can lead to a variety of physical injuries, psychological harm, and property damage for unsuspecting victims. Among the many ways that someone can be harmed by another person’s behavior is abdominal injury. The abdomen contains nearly all of your vital organs, making injuries to this part of the body incredibly dangerous.
Being able to pursue an injury claim to hold the at-fault party responsible and recover financial damages is an important legal option. If you’ve suffered an abdominal injury as a result of someone else’s negligence, you deserve the chance to seek compensation for the harm you’ve endured.

Abdominal injuries are most often caused by blunt force or puncture wounds. Blunt trauma occurs when sudden movements or direct blows to the abdomen cause injury. Examples include deceleration in car accidents, falling objects landing on the abdomen, and impact with the steering wheel in a car accident.
