Internal injuries can worsen after the initial event. If you’re dealing with symptoms like severe or worsening abdominal pain, dizziness/fainting, vomiting blood, black/bloody stools, trouble breathing, chest pressure, worsening headache after a hit, or new weakness/numbness, seek emergency care immediately.
From a legal standpoint, the fastest way to protect your claim is also the most medically important: get evaluated and keep records. In New York, insurers and defense counsel frequently challenge causation when there’s a long gap between the incident and objective medical findings. Early medical attention helps close that gap.
