Mooresville Bone Fracture Attorneys
Breaking a bone is a painful and debilitating experience that can take an arm, leg or collarbone out of commission for quite some time. Treatments include everything from a simple cast to high-risk internal fixation surgery with permanent insertion of pins. Emergency room care, setting of the bone, and long-term rehabilitation and therapy all result in high medical bills.
Who is Responsible for Your Injuries?
Discuss the circumstances of your bone fracture with an experienced injury attorney, even if you aren't sure whether anyone is liable. If your bone was fractured in a car accident, in a construction site accident, in any other workplace accident or on someone else's property, there may be sources of compensation for you besides your own private health insurance. You may be entitled to payments to replace lost wages, pay your transportation to and from medical appointments and compensate you for pain and suffering.
Contact the law office of Lutzel, Broadway & Associates to schedule a consultation with a highly knowledgeable personal injury lawyer to schedule a consultation. Attorney Richard Lutzel brings years of experience to this task on behalf of people who have suffered bone fractures in motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents and other accidents.
If you are unable to come to our office, we will gladly accommodate you by visiting you at your home, hospital or other location.
Taking the Long View
Beyond the initial expense of medical treatment for a bone fracture, there are long-term repercussions to consider, including the following:
- Stunted growth in a child
- A lifelong limp
- Long-term pain or tenderness
- RSD (reflex sympathetic dystrophy) or CRPS (complex regional pain syndrome)
- Arthritis
- Inability to work again after a hand injury
Common types of fractures include butterfly fractures, greenstick fractures, and transverse bone fractures. Time, patience and diligence is necessary to gather and analyze evidence and assess how a bone fracture will heal in the long term.
