Damages Created by Broken Bones / Fractures

There are many auto accident cases where victims suffer injuries that don’t require emergency care after the accident, major treatment, or long-term recoveries. Although their injuries can still cause considerable pain and suffering, as well as various losses, serious injuries have greater potential to result in these types of needs, as well as more substantial damages.

For example, broken bones and fractures may result in:

• Major surgery / multiple surgeries
• Long-term recoveries, including physical therapy and rehabilitation
• Nerve damage / soft tissue injuries requiring additional treatment
• Lasting or permanent impairment / disability
• Physical pain and suffering
• Extensive medical bills / future medical needs
• Lost income / diminished earning potential
• Mental anguish and other emotional injuries

When Is a Broken Bone Injury Considered Catastrophic?

Injuries are considered catastrophic when they require significant medical treatment, result in long recoveries, and / or cause lasting or permanent impairments. In the most severe cases, broken bones and fractures – especially when they are severe breaks or affect certain parts of the body – can require victims to undergo multiple corrective surgeries, which not only increase their recovery time, but also affect their ability to work and earn wages. If broken bones result in disabilities or impairment, they can also prevent victims from performing the type of work they did before an accident, if they are able to work at all.

These significant damages can all be taken into account in catastrophic injury cases, By working with proven attorneys who can help them establish fault and liability, victims can seek full and fair compensation to cover these losses, including their future needs associated with treating injuries or their inability to earn wages they once did, and the emotional suffering they and their loved ones experienced.

The pathways for recovering damages after a serious injury exist, but they do not guarantee that victims will receive the outcome or the compensation they deserve. That’s especially true when corporations and insurance companies fight to pay as little as possible. This being the case, any victim or family that needs to assert their legal rights and recover damages following broken bones should enlist the support of proven attorneys who know how to level the playing field with these defendants.
