A severe fracture is among the most serious injuries that a person can suffer and live. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), each year, over 800K patients are hospitalized because of a fall injury, most often resulting in a hip fracture or head injury. Overall, 3M older adults a year visit emergency departments for fall injuries. Fractures from car accidents are generally more serious than fractures from falls due to the impact forces that hit a person’s body. In many cases, people who suffer from bone fracture in an auto accident require surgery. There are also some situations where a medical professional's negligence can cause bone fractures or significant, life-long fracture complications.
Bones are rigid, yet flexible enough to withstand stress, but the force from an accident can easily cause them to crack or split. There are many types of fracture injuries, but the most common ones are:

Many people involved in accidents suffer broken bone trauma or injury. If the injuries are serious enough, they can leave individuals with permanent scars or disabilities. Some of the most common types of fractures resulting from accidents include:
These types of injuries usually occur when a person strikes the windshield or dashboard in a car crash, for example, when he or she is not properly buckled up at the time of the accident. Those who have sustained a fracture of the facial bones may suffer bruising, swelling, and tenderness in the injured area or disfigurement when the facial bones do not fuse properly.
People instinctually use their hands to protect themselves from an impact, but in the process, they may suffer upper extremity fractures, such as a fracture on the outstretched arm or a dislocated shoulder.
When the high-impact front or rear-end crashes affect the bones of the ribs, serious fractures can happen. Rib fractures are often hard to diagnose without an X-ray. Some serious types of rib fractures are the ones where the bone snaps into two or more parts and moves, as they can cause penetrating wounds in the lung and lead to pneumothorax or compression of the lungs. Pneumonia can also accompany a rib fracture. Fractured ribs have to heal on their own, cannot be put in a cast, and require rest to heal. Some other common treatment options are the use of respiratory devices, ice treatment, pain killers, and anti-inflammatory medication.
These types of spine injuries range in severity from mild pain and discomfort to debilitating damage and may even cause lifelong problems because they affect spinal nerves and the spinal cord itself. Spinal fractures can occur anywhere along the spinal column. If the broken bones dislocate or swell, they can cause damage to the spinal cord, and even lead to paralysis. The injured person may require ventilator support when the damage causes breathing difficulties.
Thoracic spine injuries are the most serious of all back injuries. Fractures and sprains in the upper back or thoracic spine are caused by high-speed accidents and often lead to permanent nerve damage, paraplegia, and bowel and bladder dysfunction.
An accident can lead to a variety of broken bones in the lower extremities, depending on the force of the impact and the position of the legs. The person involved in an accident can suffer hip, midshaft femur, knee, ankle, and foot fractures.
Fractures from car crashes, motorcycle accidents, and slip and fall accidents can be mild or extremely serious injuries. But no matter the severity, broken bones can be very painful and have long recovery periods. They also cost more to repair than you may expect, while you may be forced to miss work and lose out on wages when you need the money most to pay for medical care. More serious bone fractures may require surgery, physical therapy, and a lengthy recovery.
Some people may, unfortunately, experience fracture complications, such as nerve and muscle damage, infection, malunion, nonunion, and fat embolism syndrome. Complications could lead, in the worst-case scenario, to amputation, or, in other cases, to loss of function, long-term pain, and the need for additional surgery.
The exact treatment that a person will need when facing bone fractures depends on their severity, as well as where on the body the injury is located. At The Law Offices of Sean M. Cleary, we will help you seek full damages for past and future costs related to your fracture.
We prepare your case by reviewing medical records that document your fracture and treatment. Additionally, we gather exhibits that can serve as powerful evidence of the seriousness of your fracture, such as:
This evidence can be used when seeking a settlement from the at-fault party’s insurance company or when presenting your case in court.
If you have suffered a fracture injury and it was caused by another party's negligence, you are legally entitled to claim compensation for the full value of your damages. To start, our experienced Miami fracture injury attorney will help you compile all evidence that you need to establish liability in your case. Then, we will carefully document your damages, so that you can maximize your financial recovery.

Bone fractures may require a long recovery time, that is why your compensation needs to include all costs incurred as a result of the accident.
