Abdominal trauma, also called Blunt Abdominal Trauma, or BAT, occurs when a person’s abdomen collides with another object, leading to the compression of the abdomen and surrounding organs (i.e., the pancreas, kidneys, stomach, intestines, spleen, liver, etc.) and excessive pressure exerted on the abdominal wall. This type of injury most typically arises in car accidents, especially those involving high speeds, where the force of the crash causes the body to propel sideways or forward, either into a seatbelt, the steering wheel, dashboard, or the frame of the actual vehicle. BAT is serious and can be fatal if not treated immediately following an automobile collision. In fact, BAT, if left untreated, is a leading cause of death to accident victims of all ages.
Although car accidents are the primary cause of BAT, additional common causes include, without limitation, the following:
- Motorcycle crashes
- Collisions involving recreational vehicles such as ATVs, boats, jet skis, etc.
- Bicycle accidents
- Pedestrian-related accidents
- Slip and falls
- Abuse or battery

The Signs and Symptoms of BAT
The signs and symptoms of BAT vary, ranging from minor bruising to serious internal bleeding. Generally speaking, people injured in a motor vehicle collision might present with a “seat belt sign” which is bruising on the abdomen along the site of the lap belt. Other signs and symptoms include, without limitation, the following:
- Low blood pressure
- Lightheadedness or dizziness
- Syncope (fainting)
- Pain, pressure, or fullness in the abdomen or surrounding areas
- Nausea and/or vomiting
- Abdominal bloating
- Difficulty passing stool
- Blood in the urine or stool
- Muscle weakness
When to Seek Treatment
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you should seek medical attention immediately, as a lack of treatment can result in, among others:
- Ruptured organs, most often the spleen
- Intestinal tears or fissures
- Liver damage
- Damage to the pancreas
- Injury to major blood vessels
- Damage to reproductive organs
- Internal hemorrhaging
- Kidney damage
- Death
Your abdomen serves an essential purpose to your functionality. Providing structure for the spine and protecting vital internal organs, the effects of blunt abdominal trauma may be far-reaching. The abdomen protects vital organs from injuries that are potentially life-threatening. When abdominal injuries happen, vital organs may not be fully protected, exposing an injured person to multiple medical problems. When a person sustains a BAT injury, their stomach, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, lower lungs, and liver are vulnerable to permanent damage. If the damage is bad enough, a person may have internal bleeding and could be at risk of death.
If you or a loved one is injured in any sort of accident involving abdominal trauma, contact the Atlanta personal injury attorneys at Montlick.
