Obtaining Fair Compensation for Broken Bones and Fractures
The fact that children break a bone falling from a bike or a tree may lead people to think that a broken bone is not a big deal. But that is not always the case. A compound fracture from a car crash, or a bone break at the knee joint when a pedestrian is hit by a car in the crosswalk is a serious fracture that can have long-term effects. A crushing bone injury— such as when a motorcyclist's leg and ankle is crushed when he's sideswiped by a car in a motorcycle accident —this can lead to permanent disability. And a senior citizen who breaks a wrist, finger or arm in a fall in a nursing home, will find their healing period to be much longer than a younger person.
At the Houston, Texas law office of Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Sorrels, Agosto & Friend, our Texas broken bones and fractures injury attorneys have been pursuing justice for injured people since 1951. In addition to our experienced team of trial lawyers, many of whom are Board-certified in personal injury law, our staff includes medical professionals who assist us in preparing complex medical information for juries and insurance companies to ensure our clients receive full and fair compensation for their injuries.
Why It's So Important Not to Settle Too Soon in a Bone Fracture Case
In addition to the initial medical treatment of setting and casting broken bones, you may find that additional medical care is needed, such as surgery, pins or plates, and physical and occupational therapy. Joints that have been injured may be more susceptible to disabling arthritis.
The cost of medical care for serious fractures over the long term can be far more than expected. If you accept an early settlement offer from the insurance company, you may end up with unpaid medical bills and no chance for full reimbursement of your losses and expenses.
At Abraham Watkins, our personal injury lawyers will work with you to help you get the medical care you need without feeling pressure to accept a settlement offer that is insufficient.
Our track record speaks to the work we have done on behalf of clients who have suffered serious fractures, cracked bones, and broken hips, legs, shoulders and feet. We have won substantial monetary awards for clients of all ages.
