Broken Bones: We Take Your Injury, and Your Recovery, Seriously

Broken bones are among the most frequent injuries seen after serious accidents – from car crashes and falls to incidents at work. Because they are common, many people, including insurance adjusters, underestimate their impact. However, even a “simple” fracture can mean weeks off work, lengthy rehabilitation, ongoing pain, and a staggering accumulation of medical debt. The recovery process is often long, difficult, and expensive, severely disrupting your daily life and future plans.

At SAM LAW OFFICE LLC, we understand that no injury should ever be dismissed. We are committed to holding negligent parties accountable and helping you secure fair compensation that addresses the full, real impact of these injuries, including:

• All medical bills (past and future).
• Lost income and diminished earning capacity.
• Pain, suffering, and loss of quality of life.

You have already endured the pain of the injury. Let us handle the fight for compensation.

Common Types of Broken Bone Injuries

Different accidents cause different types of fractures, each presenting unique medical and financial challenges. Our firm has deep experience handling claims involving all complex types of broken bones:

• Arm and Wrist Fractures: Often defensive injuries resulting from bracing for impact during falls or collisions, frequently requiring surgical repair.
• Leg and Ankle Fractures: Common in pedestrian and motorcycle collisions, often resulting in complex breaks that severely limit mobility and independence for months.
• Rib Fractures: Frequently caused by the sheer force of a vehicle collision, often leading to internal complications and painful, restricted breathing.
• Hip and Pelvic Fractures: These are particularly devastating, often requiring major surgery, extensive hospitalization, and long-term rehabilitation, especially for older victims.
• Facial and Skull Fractures: Severe impacts can break bones in the face or head, potentially leading to disfigurement, lasting dental issues, or co-occurring Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI).

Each of these injuries carries lasting physical and financial consequences that must be properly accounted for in a personal injury claim.

Understanding The True Cost of Recovery: How Long Does It Take for a Broken Bone to Heal? 

A fracture’s financial impact goes far beyond the initial emergency room visit. We focus on securing compensation that covers the full recovery timeline.

The Long-Term Healing Process

While a minor fracture may stabilize in 6 to 8 weeks, complex, compound breaks can take many months to mend and may require multiple corrective surgeries. During this extensive period, many victims face:

• Temporary or permanent loss of mobility.
• Extended inability to work or perform job duties.
• Significant and ongoing daily pain management.

Your compensation should cover these immediate losses. However, even after the bone heals, your recovery may be far from over.

Crucial Post-Fracture Rehabilitaiton: What Types of Rehabilitation Will I Need After a Fracture?

Healing a broken bone involves more than just a cast. Most patients require follow-up care to regain full function and strength, which adds substantial cost:

• Physical Therapy: To restore range of motion and build necessary strength in the affected area.
• Occupational Therapy: To help you return to your normal daily routines and job duties.
• Pain Management: To address chronic or debilitating pain that may persist long after the bone has technically healed.

These therapy sessions can continue for weeks or months and cost thousands of dollars, an expense that aggressive insurance companies often fail to value correctly. At SAM LAW OFFICE LLC, we know how to factor these crucial costs into your settlement demand.

Life-Altering Complications: Can a Broken Bone Lead to Long-Term Complications?

A severe fracture can have a lifelong impact. We strategically document all potential long-term complications, which can include:

• Improper healing (malunion or non-union), leading to deformity or limited function.
• Chronic pain and significantly reduced mobility.
• Post-traumatic arthritis in the affected joint.
• Permanent work limitations, especially in physically demanding careers, leading to loss of future earning potential.

These effects can significantly alter your quality of life and future earning potential. That is why choosing the right legal advocate is so important.
