Broken bones can require casting, surgery and physical therapy, and some fractures cause lasting limitations.
When an injury like this is caused by someone else's carelessness, you may have the right to compensation for its full impact — including care and support you will need in the future. Our attorneys work with your doctors and, where appropriate, independent specialists to document the injury and its effect on your life.
How Broken Bones and Fractures Can Affect Your Life
- Medical treatment, therapy and follow-up care
- Time away from work or a change in the work you can do
- Pain, sleep problems and emotional strain
- Limits on household tasks, hobbies and family activities
- Possible long-term or permanent effects
How We Document Your Injury
- Emergency, hospital and treating physician records
- Imaging, test results and specialist opinions
- Therapy, rehabilitation and medication records
- Evidence of lost income and limits on future work
- Statements from family and co-workers about changes in daily life
Accidents That Commonly Cause This Injury
- Motor vehicle crashes
- Falls on unsafe property
- Workplace and construction accidents
- Defective products
- Medical errors
- Assaults and animal attacks
Why Medical Documentation Matters
Insurance companies often dispute injuries that are not well documented, particularly soft tissue injuries, brain injuries and chronic pain. Prompt medical care, consistent follow-up and clear specialist findings help establish both the injury and its cause.
Compensation You May Be Able to Recover
Depending on the facts and the law that applies, a claim may include:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain, suffering and emotional distress
- Rehabilitation, long-term care and home modification costs
- Property damage and other out-of-pocket losses
Why Acting Early Matters
Every state sets deadlines for filing injury claims, and claims involving government entities can require formal notice within a much shorter time. Video footage, records and physical evidence can be lost quickly. Speaking with an attorney early protects your options.
How Our Attorneys Can Help
We investigate what happened, deal with the insurance companies, document the full extent of your losses and pursue a fair settlement — and we are prepared to go to court when an insurer will not be reasonable. Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis: you pay no attorney fee unless we recover compensation for you. Consultations are free and confidential.
