INJURY WARNING SIGNS
When Should an Injury Be Evaluated in the ER?
Go to the ER for an injury with severe pain, rapid swelling, a deformed limb, a deep or bleeding wound, numbness or weakness, inability to bear weight or move a joint, a blow to the head with concerning symptoms, or pain in the neck, back, chest, or abdomen after a forceful impact.
How the injury happened matters as much as how it looks. A high-speed crash, a fall from height, or a hard blow can cause internal injuries that aren’t obvious at first.
Get emergency care for an injury with:
- Severe or worsening pain
- A limb that looks bent or out of place
- A deep cut or bleeding that won’t stop
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness
- Inability to bear weight or move a joint
- A head injury with vomiting or confusion
- Neck or back pain after a fall or crash
- Abdominal or chest pain after a blow

Should You Go to the ER After a Serious Fall?
Falls are one of the most common reasons for injury visits, especially for older adults and young children.
Seek emergency care after a fall with
- A head strike, especially on blood thinners
- Loss of consciousness, even briefly
- Hip, groin, or pelvic pain
- Inability to stand or walk
- Neck or back pain
- A fall from a ladder, roof, or stairs
An older adult who falls and can’t get up, or who seems confused afterward, should be evaluated even if no injury is visible.
Sports Injuries
Sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations, and concussions are common on the field and court.
A joint that gives way, a pop followed by rapid swelling, or pain over a bone may mean a ligament tear or fracture. An athlete with a possible concussion should stop playing and be evaluated before returning. For milder joint injuries, see our sprains and strains page.
Car and Motorcycle Accident Injuries
After a crash, adrenaline can mask pain, and some injuries appear hours later.
Seek evaluation for neck or back pain, headache, abdominal pain, chest pain, seat-belt bruising, or numbness after a collision. Abdominal pain or bruising after a crash can signal an internal injury and needs prompt care. For high-speed crashes or rollovers, call 911.
Work Injuries
Construction, warehouse, kitchen, and outdoor jobs carry risks of falls, crush injuries, cuts, and burns.
Crush injuries, machinery injuries, chemical exposures, and deep cuts should be evaluated promptly. Bring details about how the injury happened and any workplace forms you’ve been given. Severe heat illness on the job is also an emergency.
Significant Pain and Loss of Function
Not being able to use an arm, bend a joint, or bear weight is an important sign that something more than a bruise has happened.
Possible fractures, dislocations, and tendon injuries are evaluated with an exam and imaging. Learn more on our broken bone ER page.
Major Swelling and Deep Wounds
Rapid swelling can come from bleeding into a joint or soft tissue.
A wound that gapes, bleeds heavily, or contains debris may need cleaning and repair; see our cuts and wounds page. Severe, increasing pain in a swollen limb can signal compartment syndrome, a surgical emergency.
HEAD INJURIES
Head Injuries After an Accident or Fall
A blow to the head can cause a concussion or, less commonly, bleeding in the brain.
Seek emergency care after a head injury with
- Loss of consciousness
- Repeated vomiting
- A headache that keeps getting worse
- Confusion, unusual drowsiness, or memory loss
- Weakness, numbness, or trouble speaking
- A seizure
People taking blood thinners and older adults should be evaluated after any significant head injury. See our head injury and concussion page.
YOUR ER VISIT
What Happens When You Visit the ER for an Injury?
The physician examines the injury, checks nerves, blood flow, and movement, and looks for other injuries you may not have noticed.
Imaging
Digital X-ray for bones and joints; CT for head, spine, and complex injuries when clinically indicated.
Wound & Injury Care
Wound cleaning and repair, splinting, and tetanus vaccination when due.
Pain Relief
Medication to control pain while your injury is evaluated and treated.
Imaging is used when it will help guide care, not automatically. Injuries that need surgery or specialist care are transferred or referred.
Common Injuries Treated in the ER
Injuries we commonly evaluate include:
Fractures & Dislocations
Broken bones and joints forced out of place.
Cuts & Lacerations
Wounds that may need cleaning, stitches, or skin glue.
Sprains & Strains
Ligament and muscle injuries, often to the ankle, knee, or wrist.
Head Injuries
Concussions and other head trauma that need careful assessment.
This list is general information, not a diagnosis. Burns, eye injuries, and bites are also evaluated.
QUICK ANSWERS
Injury Questions, Answered
When should an injury be evaluated in the ER?
An injury should be evaluated in the ER when it causes severe pain, rapid swelling, deformity, a deep or bleeding wound, numbness, weakness, or trouble moving or bearing weight—or when it involves the head, neck, back, chest, or abdomen after a forceful impact. When in doubt, it’s safer to be checked.
Should I go to the ER after a serious fall?
Yes, if you hit your head, lost consciousness, have neck or back pain, can’t stand or walk, have hip or groin pain, or fell from a height. Older adults and people on blood thinners should be evaluated after any significant fall. Call 911 and avoid moving someone with a possible neck or back injury.
Where should I go in Houston after an accident injury?
The Heights Emergency Room at 101 N Loop W #300, Houston, TX 77018, is open 24/7 for injuries from falls, sports, work, and car accidents, with X-ray and CT on site. Walk in or check in online. For high-speed crashes, major trauma, or a possible spine injury, call 911.
ER or urgent care for a serious injury?
Choose the ER for a deformed limb, severe pain, numbness, heavy bleeding, a head injury with symptoms, neck or back pain after a fall or crash, or any high-force injury. Urgent care can handle minor sprains, small cuts, and bruises on a limb you can still use normally.
What injuries may require emergency imaging?
Injuries that may need emergency imaging include possible fractures or dislocations, head injuries with concerning symptoms, neck or back injuries, and chest or abdominal injuries after a forceful impact. Your physician decides whether an X-ray or CT is needed based on how the injury happened and your exam.
EMERGENCY SAFETY
When Should You Call 911 for an Injury?
Call 911 for injuries that may threaten life, the spine, or major blood vessels.
Call 911 for:
- A high-speed crash or rollover
- A fall from height
- A possible neck or back injury
- Loss of consciousness
- Heavy or spurting bleeding
- Trouble breathing after a chest injury
- Severe abdominal pain after a blow
- Multiple serious injuries
Paramedics can immobilize the spine, control bleeding, and take patients with major trauma directly to a trauma center.
Don’t move someone with a possible spine injury, and don’t drive yourself with severe pain or bleeding.
WHERE TO GO
ER vs Urgent Care for an Injury
Urgent care works well for minor injuries. Serious, high-force, or complicated injuries need an emergency room with imaging and the ability to manage several problems at once.
Call 911
- Major trauma
- A possible spine injury
- Heavy bleeding
- Loss of consciousness
Go to the ER
- A possible fracture or dislocation
- A deep or contaminated wound
- A head injury with symptoms
- Neck or back pain after a fall
- An injury in an older adult on blood thinners
Urgent Care or Your Doctor
- A minor sprain you can walk on
- A small, clean cut
- Bruises with full movement
If you are unsure, choose the ER.
