Severe Bone & Joint Injuries

INJURY LAWYER IN SACRAMENTO CA

INJURY LAWYER HELPS VICTIMS OF ACCIDENTS THAT CAUSED BADLY BROKEN BONES OR CRUSHED JOINTS

There are many different types of accidents that could cause broken bones or crushed joints. Each case is different and the factors that will determine the settlement will vary. It’s always best to talk to an experienced personal injury lawyer who can evaluate your case and guide you through the process.

Fortunately, for the most part, broken bones are not life-threatening and usually heal with time. However, broken bones can affect the victim and the victim’s family in many other ways such as:

• High medical bills associated with treatment
• Temporary disablement or immobilization
• Lost wages for having to be out of work during the healing process
• Complications leading to ongoing chronic pain
• In addition, insurance companies and medical providers often overwhelm the victims with complicated paperwork and obstacles. Having an experienced injury lawyer can relieve you of the complications and enable you to direct your attention to healing.

Types of Broken Bones

One of the most important factors in any personal injury case is evidence. When it comes to a broken bone or fracture, there is no question that the injury took place. Having an x-ray will make your settlement a lot easier but there are still other factors that are involved. Valuing the case involves examining how bad the injury is.

There are a few different categories your injury can fall into:

• Open Broken Bone Injuries: Involves a fracture that punctures the skin, significantly increasing the risk of infections such as osteomyelitis, which can be either acute, showing rapid onset and severe symptoms, or chronic, persisting for a long time with potentially severe consequences.
• Closed Broken Bone Injuries: The bone breaks without penetrating the skin, known as simple fractures, posing less risk of infection compared to open fractures but still requiring prompt medical attention for healing.
• Displaced Broken Bone Injuries: The bone fragments move out of alignment, often requiring surgery to correct and ensure proper healing.
• Non-displaced Broken Bone Injuries: The bone cracks either partially or entirely without moving from its normal position, usually treated with immobilization.
• Greenstick Broken Bone Injuries: The bone bends and cracks, without breaking completely, mostly occurring in children due to the flexibility of their bones.
• Transverse Broken Bone Injuries: Features a fracture that occurs in a straight line across the bone, often resulting from a direct blow or stress.
• Linear Broken Bone Injuries: The fracture runs parallel to the bone’s long axis, differing from transverse fractures in direction, and typically requires specific imaging to diagnose accurately.

There are many different types of bone injuries and only a medical examiner can properly identify which category your injury falls into. Severe bone injuries could be caused by a car, bus, motorcycle, truck, defective products, medical malpractice and many other accidents that involve a negligent party acting irresponsibly. If someone was acting negligent and caused you to suffer a severe bone injury, you could be entitled to compensation. Contact an injury lawyer in Sacramento CA at the Choyce Law Firm for help.
