Right away to a ER: Blood in urine after a trauma concerns me. May imply kidney damage , or something not significant. You better be seen asap and get some ct scans and blood tests, best if you go to an emergency room now.

See Dr.: Blood in your urine after a trauma is a sign of some internal damage that you sustained. See a dr. To be safe. Good luck.
