Severity ranges from contusions (bruising) to lacerations and rupture requiring emergency surgical repair. The liver and spleen are the most commonly damaged abdominal organs in vehicle collisions due to their size and proximity to the anterior abdominal wall. Organ damage is graded I through V by the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST), with Grade V being the most severe.
Low-grade organ injuries may be managed with observation and bed rest. Higher-grade injuries require surgical repair or removal. Splenectomy (spleen removal) leaves the patient immunocompromised for life. Nephrectomy (kidney removal) reduces renal reserve. ICU care, blood transfusions, and long-term organ function monitoring are standard.

Organ damage cases command high settlements due to life-threatening severity, emergency surgery, ICU stays, and potential permanent consequences (organ removal, reduced function). The permanent health impact of losing an organ — such as lifelong infection susceptibility after splenectomy — adds substantial future damages.
