Types of Broken Bone Injuries We Handle

Monge & Associates can help you after you break a bone in any type of accident or incident caused by negligence or wrongdoing. However, there are certain types of broken bone claims we have handled very frequently. Here are some of the most common types of cases where we help clients. 

Common Fracture Types

Common fracture types that we help clients recover compensation for include:

• Simple fractures: The bone cracks and breaks inside of your body but the skin isn’t broken. 
• Compound fractures: The bone pierces your skin, resulting in an open wound that could become infected. 
• Stress fractures: A bone is cracked over time due to overuse or repetitive stress. 
• Comminuted fractures: The bone breaks into at least three pieces, usually as a result of an auto accident or other severe trauma. 
• Open fractures: This is also called a compound fracture, because it refers to the fact that the bone has broken the skin. 
• Spiral fractures: Twisting force causes a spiral-shaped break, often as a result of a sports injury or a fall when you twist as you’re going down. 

Most Frequently Injured Bones

Any bone in the body could be injured, but these bones break especially frequently:

• Arms and wrists: Many people put their arms out to brace themselves if they’re falling, causing arm and wrist fractures 
• Legs and ankles: ankle fractures regularly occur due to twisting on uneven surfaces, while both leg and ankle fractures can happen due to car accidents, slip and falls, and sports injury
• Ribs and spine: Rib fractures are painful and there are few treatment options other than time, while spinal fractures are often permanent and can lead to paralysis.
• Facial bones: The nose, jaw, cheekbones, and eye sockets could all break due to trauma. Surgical correction may be required and disfigurement is possible. 
• Hip fractures: Hip fractures frequently occur in older adults, often due to a fall. They are very difficult to recover from and surgery is often required. 

Common Causes of Broken Bone Accidents in Arlington

Any type of trauma that causes extreme force to be applied to the bones can result in a fracture. Monge & Associates helps clients whose bones have been broken by negligent or careless defendants. Some of the most common causes of accidents involving bone injuries include the following types of incidents. 

Motor Vehicle Accidents

 Bones can break because of:

• Car crashes
• Motorcycle accidents
• Pedestrian accidents
• Truck collisions

Car crashes can result in bones breaking from the force and impact, from direct trauma, from rapid deceleration and compression, from the airbags or seat belt pressuring against the bone, or from unnatural movement because of the incident.

Slip and Fall Incidents

Slips and falls are a leading cause of bone fractures because you can put pressure on your bones or move in unnatural ways when you are falling. Some of the most common reasons why people slip, fall, and break bones include: 

• Wet floors
• Uneven surfaces
• Poor lighting
• Defective stairs

Workplace Accidents

If you are performing work in a job that requires you to be active, many things could go wrong that lead to broken bones, including; 

• Construction site injuries
• Falls from height
• Equipment malfunctions
• Industrial accidents

These work injury claims usually need to be pursued under workers’ compensation law, so Monge & Associates can help you to navigate that claims process. 

Understanding Your Legal Rights After a Fracture

When you suffer a bone fracture, you need to understand your rights. Here’s what you need to know about pursuing your claim.

Types of Compensation Available

You should be compensated in full for economic and non-financial loss after a bone break. Some of the different kinds of compensation that Monge & Associates can fight to get you include:

• Medical expenses (past and future costs of caring for your injuries)
• Lost wages and earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Rehabilitation costs
• Permanent disability benefits

Why Broken Bone Cases Require Legal Expertise

Cases involving broken bones can be very complicated because;

• It can be difficult to prove the extent of the loss
• The stakes can be high if you suffered serious damage and long-term impairment
• You have to prove that the defendant was the direct cause of your bone break and any resulting damages
• There are many different legal avenues you could pursue depending on how you broke your bones. For example, the workers’ comp claims process is different from navigating the civil justice system.

What to Expect from Your Arlington Broken Bone Attorney

An Arlington broken bone attorney will help you to understand your rights after negligence or wrongdoing causes you to suffer a broken bone. We’ll help you to:

• Gather evidence of how the incident occurred
