Yes, deep bleeding with the formation of a hematoma is relatively common in such situations, not to mention pelvic fractures, always possible. Would suggest being timely examined ( either your doc or an urgent care office) for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Bruising becomes far more intense when using anti-coagulants. Your leg pain could well be secondary to the trauma, which could involve any structure. Have your doctor evaluate if symptoms persist. See no rationale to fret about head injury since that part was not injured.
