Diagnosing Internal Bleeding After a Drunk Driving Accident

• an endoscopy to discover the source of internal bleeding in the stomach or colon;
• CT scan to check for bleeding in the brain;
• ultrasound to look for blood in the abdomen; and
• angiography to determine arterial blood flow. 

In some cases, a critically ill patient may have to undergo emergency surgery to control internal bleeding – this is much more common in trauma patients who might otherwise bleed out waiting for the results of tests. If you have been injured in a car accident that was caused by an intoxicated driver and suffered injury, seek immediate medical attention and then contact an Atlanta car accident attorney who can help.Contact an Atlanta Car Accident AttorneyAfter serious car accidents caused by drunk drivers, you and your family may be dealing with the grief of internal bleeding or other serious injury, loss of a loved one, and financial burdens.
