Bone fractures often result from personal injury accidents. Most fractures and broken bones heal in a reasonable amount of time. Some fractures are more serious, especially when multiple bones are involved. If you were involved in a personal injury accident, contact the broken bones and fractures injury lawyers at the Wetherington Law Firm.
Millions of people fracture their bones every year. Fractures happen when the force exerted against the bone is stronger than the bone itself. The most common causes of fractures include falls and car accidents. Until you have experienced a broken rib or ankle, it can be difficult to understand how painful and disabling a broken bone can be. We understand.
Simple fractures are commonplace and heal quickly. However, some broken bones health very slowly, or not at all. A “nonunion” occurs when a broken bone does not heal. Some bones are well known for failing to heal. This is because blood flow to these bones is poor even in normal daily life, and therefore, even a slight complication can cause a nonunion. Nonunion is most common in the following injuries:
When a pedestrian is hit by a car, it often results in serious compound fractures. Car accidents also cause compound fractures and broken bones. Knee injuries, spinal injuries, and broken ribs are common in car accidents. Accidents where motorcyclists are sideswiped by a car often result in a crushing injury to the leg and ankle. When a senior citizen falls in a nursing home due to negligence or abuse, a broken arm, finger, wrist or hip is much more serious. Recovery is also more complicated than for the same injury in a younger person. These types of injuries are much more painful and can result in permanent disability.
