Compensation is Available for Broken Bone Injuries
Your fracture and other injuries have affected your health, your career, your personal life, and your financial security. You can seek compensation for both economic and non-economic losses, including damages for your future losses associated with your injuries.
Fractures and Economic Damages
It can cost a lot of money to properly treat a broken bone, and such a serious injury may prevent you from earning a living. Accordingly, you can sue for economic damages like those listed below.
- Loss of income: You took time off from work to let your injuries heal or to receive treatment (e.g., surgery).
- Loss of earning capacity: Your injuries permanently limit your ability to earn a living.
- Medical costs: You needed a cast, surgery, pain medication, physical therapy, an assistive device (e.g., a wheelchair), or any other treatment.
- Repair bills: The accident damaged your car, so you paid someone to fix it or bought a new vehicle.
Fractures and Non-economic Damages
Broken bones are physically painful. They and the accidents that cause them can also impact your mental health. You can sue for non-economic damages like those listed below.
- Pain and suffering: The fracture and other injuries were the sources of significant physical distress.
- Mental anguish: The accident or even your injuries themselves have caused or worsened your mental illness (e.g., depression).
- Disability: The broken bone did not heal properly, leaving you with chronic pain or limited mobility. You can also sue for organ removal, loss of a sense, intellectual disability, and so on.
- Disfigurement: Your injuries and/or necessary treatments left behind scar tissue that will never go away.

Fighting the Insurance Company
As mentioned above, you will probably not be seeking compensation directly from the liable party (i.e., the party that caused your accident). Instead, you will face off against their insurance company. These companies have a lot of experience with lawsuits and will not hesitate to do whatever they can to undermine yours, including:
- Arguing that you are more responsible for your injuries than their client
- Claiming that the accident did not cause your injuries
- Trying to “prove” that your injuries are not as bad as you say
- Pushing you to accept an insufficient settlement offer
Hiring a lawyer to fight such tactics on your behalf can save you a great deal of time, trouble, and emotional stress.

Getting Medical Help after a Car Accident
According to the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC), there are several types of fractures or breaks. All of them can cause symptoms such as pain and loss of mobility, and all require tests and treatments that you cannot perform at home. Such tests and treatments may include:
- X-rays
- MRI’s
- Application of a cast
- Surgery
- Prescriptions for pain medication
Prompt treatment after an accident can prevent unnecessary suffering and even save your life. Also, the medical records generated by your doctor’s visits can help prove your need for compensation to an insurance company.
