Orland Park Bone Fracture Injury Lawyer

Mokena Serious Injury Attorney for Falls, Fractures, and Dislocations

Fractures, or broken bones, are common injuries that can occur in almost any type of accident, including car crashes, slip and fall accidents, and workplace accidents. While some fractures may heal with relative ease after being immobilized through the use of a cast, others can lead to long-term complications and permanent damage. The severity of a fracture depends on several factors, including the location of the break, the type of fracture, the timeliness and quality of medical care, and how well the bone heals during the recovery process.

If you have been injured in an accident and sustained a bone fracture, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and any necessary rehabilitative care, as well as other types of damages.

Types of Fractures

Broken bones can vary widely in severity. In some cases, extensive treatment may be required, such as surgery to repair damage and implants such as screws, pins, or rods. Some common bone fractures that can occur in accidents include:

• Arm and Leg Fractures: Accidents involving trauma, such as car crashes or falls, can result in broken bones in the arms or legs. In some cases, fractures may involve clean breaks to bones, while others may be more complex, such as compound fractures in which broken bones protrude through the skin, spiral fractures that occur when limbs are twisted into unnatural positions, comminuted fractures in which bones are broken into multiple pieces, and greenstick fractures involving bones that bend and crack rather than fully breaking. While simple bone breaks may require a cast for immobilization, more complex fractures may need surgical intervention.
• Rib Fractures: Direct trauma to the chest can cause extensive damage to the ribs. While these fractures are generally treated by allowing bones to heal on their own, they can be dangerous if a broken rib punctures an internal organ or causes internal bleeding. Complications may include punctured lungs, bleeding in the chest cavity, or fractures in multiple adjacent ribs.
• Spinal Fractures: When one or more vertebrae in the spine are broken, the spinal cord may be damaged, and a person's mobility may be restricted or permanently impaired. Spinal fractures may include compression fractures, shattered vertebrae, or dislocated vertebrae.
• Hip Fractures: Broken bones in the pelvis or upper legs are common among older adults due to falls or other types of accidents. These fractures can be life-threatening due to the risk of complications such as blood clots, infections, and pneumonia. Treatment for hip fractures typically involves surgery to repair or replace the broken hip, followed by extensive rehabilitation.
• Skull Fractures: Accidents involving significant head trauma may lead to broken bones in the skull. These fractures may also lead to traumatic brain injuries, which can be life-threatening or cause permanent physical, emotional, and cognitive impairments.
