About Genital Injuries
Genital injuries are most common in men, as the male genitalia is all external. These injuries can involve the testes, scrotum, and/or penis. The most common cause of testicular injuries in are explosives, although other causes include blunt force trauma (including assaults, vehicle accidents, sports injuries) and penetrating testicular injuries (contusions or ruptures). Injuries to the scrotum are relatively rare but can be caused by burns, tears, or penetrating trauma. Penile injuries can vary significantly. For instance, zipper injuries are relatively common, although they remain more common in children. Penile fractures can occur when the penis is forcefully bent during sexual activity (of course, this can occur during a sexual assault, as well); these injuries also result in urethral injuries. Penile amputations due to incidents involving machinery and penetrating injuries due to animal bites can also occur.
In women, genital injuries are significantly less common, as the female genitalia is inside the body. Still, genital injuries are possible. Genital mutilation, for instance, is performed in some cultures and consists of the clitoris being removed. Other genital injuries can occur as a result of sexual abuse or even medical malpractice.
No matter the specific type of harm that you suffered, you could have grounds to file a lawsuit. It is important that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible to explore the legal options available to you.

No matter the incident that resulted in the genital injuries, it is important that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible, as you could have grounds to file a lawsuit and potentially receive compensation.
Most Frequently Asked Questions
Our law firm has been approached with some of the following questions:
- What is my case worth?
- What forms of compensation are available for recovery?
- What can affect the value of a genital injury case?
- How long will I have to wait for a settlement for my genital injury case?
If you have found yourself asking these questions, it is important that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible. For many people considering the possibility of filing a claim, the answers to these questions are necessary in ultimately deciding whether or not pursuing a claim is “worth it” for them. If you have any of these questions, contact us at your earliest convenience.
What Is My Case Worth
Often, it is a challenge to determine the value of any one personal injury case. Genital injuries function the same way. Determining the value of any specific claim depends on the severity of the injury, and whether a person has been deemed sterile or infertile. The severity of any specific injury depends on the injury itself. For instance, compensation for crushed testicles can vary greatly from urinary incontinence, which is the inability to properly hold urine in the bladder. The value of your claim also varies on the implications of the injury. For example, a case of sterility caused by crushed testicles will accrue a different case value than a deformity in a genital area that does not hinder the reproductive system. To put it simply, the value of a case depends greatly on whether or not an individual has sustained damage to their reproductive system. An expert lawyer experienced in genital injury cases can help you with an estimate for your case value.
Forms of Compensation
If you have suffered damage to your genitals, you will be able to access two forms of compensation. The first is for the pain and suffering you sustained from the injury. Determining the value of this form of compensation depends on the individual injury and the extent of said injury. The second can cover financial losses and expenses you have endured. This can include income loss, medical expenses, travel expenses, and a loss of future income. Just as the pain of every individual injury is different, the length of time needed for recovery differs between every injury. A qualified attorney who has experience in genital injury cases can help bring you the maximum compensation available under the law.
Permanence Of Injury
In some cases, genital damage doesn’t recover completely. Even after rehabilitation or medical surgeries, a victim can still suffer from a lifetime of pain, discomfort, numbness, loss of function, sterility, or infertility. Victims who have suffered permanent damage to their reproductive organs as a result of a personal injury are entitled to receive monetary compensation based on the cost of the extended medical expenses. In cases of sterility and infertility, victims who have endured this form of genital damage may require a lifetime of assistance in dealing with the residual trauma of the incident which, in turn, requires greater compensation. Speak to an experienced attorney to learn more about what can net you larger settlements.
