Broken Bones

Broken bones are some of the most common injuries people suffer in accidents, but just because they happen frequently does not mean they are simple. Even a single fracture can have a major impact on your life, affecting your ability to work, care for yourself, or manage daily routines.

While the road to healing can be long, you don’t have to face it alone. Saavedra Law Firm provides experienced legal support to help cover medical expenses, lost wages, and other costs that often accompany broken bone injuries, so you can focus on getting your life back on track.

How Accidents Lead to Broken Bones

Fractures can happen in almost any type of accident where a sudden force impacts the body. The circumstances of your accident are critical, as they determine who is at fault.

Common causes include:

• Car and Truck Accidents: The force of a collision can easily cause severe fractures.
• Slip-and-Fall Incidents: A fall on a slippery floor or uneven surface can lead to broken hips, wrists, or ankles.
• Workplace Injuries: Falls from heights, machinery accidents, or falling objects can result in debilitating fractures.
• Defective Products: A product that fails unexpectedly can cause serious harm.

Saavedra Law Firm has experience with all these scenarios. We understand that each case requires a unique approach to gathering evidence and building a strong claim.

Types of Broken Bones and Their Impact

Not all broken bones are the same, and the type of fracture can affect your recovery and the compensation you may seek.

• Simple Fracture: The bone breaks cleanly, but the skin remains intact. While often less complex, these fractures still require significant medical care and can lead to complications.
• Compound Fracture: The broken bone pierces the skin, creating an open wound. This type of injury carries a high risk of infection and may lead to long-term complications, making treatment more expensive.
• Comminuted Fracture: The bone shatters into three or more pieces. These severe injuries often require complex surgery, such as the insertion of plates and screws. Recovery is typically long, and permanent disability is possible.

The severity of your fracture directly influences your medical costs, recovery time, and the level of compensation you might be entitled to.

The True Cost of a Broken Bone

The financial toll of a broken bone injury often extends far beyond the initial emergency room visit. Broken bone injuries frequently cost more than most people anticipate. Legal support can help you recover these expenses, which may include:

• Medical Bills: Costs can accumulate from emergency room visits, surgery, hospitalization, prescription medications, imaging procedures such as X-rays or MRIs, and physical therapy.
• Lost Wages: You may need to take time off work to recover. In some cases, a permanent disability could prevent you from returning to your previous job.
• Other Costs: Expenses can also include mobility aids such as crutches, necessary home modifications, transportation to medical appointments, and long-term care if a permanent disability occurs.
