St. Petersburg Fractures Lawyer

Broken Bones Can Be a Serious Problem

People who have a fractured bone may be unable to work or perform basic daily tasks such as eating, dressing or bathing. They may have to wear casts and undergo surgery and weeks of rehabilitation. The majority of fractures cause pain and temporary disability; however, in the most catastrophic cases, amputation is necessary.

Not all broken bones are catastrophic, but the medical costs may be considerable. If you have a fracture, you may need compensation to cover the cost of surgery, follow-up visits, rehabilitation and medical equipment. In addition, you may need compensation for lost income if you cannot return to work during or after your recovery.

Possible Complications of Fractures

Broken bones may require external or internal fixation such as surgical pins, screws, plates or rods. While these surgical remedies are necessary to stabilize the bone, they can cause additional pain or problems later.

Depending on the type of fracture and the age and health of the patient, some broken bones never heal completely. Some patients never recover full use of a fractured limb, hand or fingers. In some cases, this means that the injury victim cannot return to his or her occupation.
