Understanding Broken Bones and Fractures Suffered in Personal Injury Accidents

There are a number of distinctions that differentiate the types and severity of broken bones and fractures. A broken bone may be complete or incomplete. Someone involved in a serious motor vehicle accident or pedestrian accident may suffer a complete break of a bone where the bone separates into two separate segments or a partial fracture of the bone where there is no such separation. Broken bones and fractures may also be compound or simple. Compound breaks involve the bone penetrating through the skin resulting in an open wound while simple fractures do not result in the bone protruding through the skin.

There are almost a limitless number of types of personal injury accidents that may cause broken bones of fractures, but some of the most common types of accidents that we handle involving serious broken bones and fractures include:

Serious Fractures May Require Extensive Medical Treatment and Rehabilitation

Severe broken bones and fractures may require complex surgery to re-align the bones or to help stabilize bone fragments. Medical devices are often used to stabilize broken bones and permit healing including the insertion of metal plates or the use of screws and pins. When an accident victim suffers a severe fracture or a bone is crushed, motor vehicle accident victims may face multiple surgeries, months of physical rehabilitation or even permanent impairment of use of one’s limbs which may result in a loss of mobility. Even with less severe broken bones and fractures, the bone will typically need to be set and may be placed in a cast. This many mean significant periods of time off-work or even permanent disability.

The knowledgeable serious injury attorneys at Jacoby & Meyers understand that when you are healing from broken bones and fractures you may not have the time, energy or legal knowledge to focus on legal issues and dealing with insurance adjusters. It is important to keep in mind that insurance adjusters may seem friendly and helpful but their goal is to find a basis to deny your claim or minimize the compensation that you receive. An insurance adjuster may offer you a quick but inadequate settlement because the adjuster hopes that the financial pressure that you feel because you are off-work and facing bills may make you vulnerable to financial exploitation.
