When Do I Need a Lawyer?
If you suffer a serious injury in an accident caused by a careless driver, you can greatly benefit from having a skilled Turlock car accident lawyer handle your case. Serious injuries include broken bones of all types and even hairline fractures.
These fractures can take weeks or months to heal, and cause pain for years to come. Sometimes they don’t heal exactly right and follow-up surgeries are required. The cost of care can skyrocket, and this is when car insurance companies pull out their strongest tactics. They’d like to downplay your injury, or even pin the cause of the accident on you, so they don’t have to pay out adequate support.
Your lawyer shields you from this unfair treatment and fights to get you the maximum in compensation possible for every hardship you face while trying to heal from a broken bone.
Common Broken Bone Injuries in Turlock Traffic Accidents
Car collisions unleash some of the most powerful forces that human beings have the unfortunate chance to be subjected to. They even carry the power to break the biggest and strongest bone in the human body, the femur (thigh bone).
Impacts can force the legs into the floorboard to cause fractures. Arms can hit a steering wheel or a door to cause broken bones. Even the force of a seatbelt restraining a victim can cause chest injuries.
Doctors at Emanuel Medical Center in Turlock treat many cases resulting from accidents throughout the year. They commonly handle these and other bone breaks:
- Arms
- Hands and wrists
- Legs
- Ankles and feet
- Kneecaps
- Bones that form the hip
- Pelvic bones
- Vertebrae
- Ribs
- Collarbone
- Breastbone
- Skull and facial bones
Compensation Available After a Car Accident Involving a Bone Fracture
Patients with broken legs may be in a splint for up to five weeks or a cast for up to eight weeks. And that’s if the bone heals as it should. When any bones heal out of alignment, surgeons have to go in and force the pieces of bone back into their proper places. Patients with leg injuries can also be immobilized so long they develop other health problems due to inactivity.
The costs of physical therapy to rebuild strength in a broken arm or leg will also be expensive. Your car accident attorney would be tracking every medical bill you received and getting estimates on the future care you could need.
Your injury claim should also document the changes to your life a broken bone causes. A broken bone can force you to give up hobbies and miss out on valuable family activities. These emotional damages must be an at-fault driver’s insurance company’s concern.
Your lawyer would be seeking full compensation on a broken bone settlement check for these and other factors:
- All costs for medical care and physical therapy. That includes any medical equipment you may need to make life easier while healing at home.
- Future medical costs associated with a permanent physical disability or permanent disfigurement.
- Compensation for the physical pain endured with fractured bones in the moments after a car accident and through a difficult recovery.
- Compensation for the emotional trauma victims suffer after accidents. This can include the anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms experienced.
- Money for the transportation costs of going back and forth from doctor and surgeon visits. Perhaps compensation for out-of-area travel to see specialists.
- Paychecks and benefits victims have forfeited while missing work. The loss of the ability to support your family if you are out of work for months or years.
- Money for vehicle repairs or replacement.
