Most people don’t think about their spleen until something happens to it. This nondescript, vascular organ is part of the immune system, and it filters out blood and recycles red blood cells as well as being a reservoir for white blood cells in readiness for fighting against infections such as tuberculosis or meningitis. Located in the left upper quadrant of your stomach, the spleen in tucked under your upper ribs, and sits on top of the stomach. When the spleen ruptures, it may become enlarged and the whole lower chest or diaphragm area may become excruciatingly painful. A spleen rupture is a medical emergency and must be operated on in as little time as possible in order to save it. If someone else’s negligent or careless actions caused your spleen rupture in an auto accident or slip and fall event that wasn’t your fault, you have every right to file a lawsuit in order to recover money damages, and we’re here to help with that.

Signs and Symptoms of a Ruptured Spleen
A ruptured spleen refers to the covering that surrounds the spleen breaking open, causing blood stored within it to come pouring out, starting off internal bleeding. Individuals may go into shock, have a distended stomach, and may experience abdominal pain when this happens. As long as you were in an accident that caused blunt force abdominal trauma, there is a chance that your spleen was affected – this is perhaps one of the most important reasons why you need to see a physician after any accident even if you feel fine so that imaging tests can be performed to rule out any ruptures.
Treatment for Ruptured Spleen After an Accident
Spleen injury treatment may require that the organ be removed via the performing of a splenectomy, followed by a course of vaccinations against things like pneumonia and influenza. Please note that once your spleen is removed, you may become more prone to infections.
