About Broken Bones And Fractures
Broken bone injuries can range from the simple to the complex in terms of the treatment needed to heal the bone. The attorneys at Bart Durham Injury Law represent people who have suffered all types of broken bones and fractures, including:
- Complete fractures — when the bone is broken cleanly in two pieces
- Comminuted fractures — when the bone has been broken in more than two places
- Greenstick fractures — when one side of the bone is split, yet still attached to the rest of the bone
- Open fractures — when part of the bone protrudes through the skin
Bones can heal at different rates of speed, depending on the age of the person. Broken hips and fractured pelvises are of particular concern, especially in the elderly, in that they can impair mobility. Bart Durham Injury Law will work hard to help you get all of the medical care you need, plus compensation for your financial losses and pain and suffering.
Attorneys For People Who Have Suffered Internal Injuries
The violent impact of another vehicle can cause serious or fatal injuries to bodily organs, bones and the vascular system. Injuries that are obvious, such as broken bones, will be diagnosed in the emergency room and treated. Some injuries, such as internal bleeding or a concussion, may not be diagnosed until some time has elapsed.
If you have been in a car accident that sends you to the hospital, it is imperative that you receive quality medical care. You should also speak with a personal injury attorney concerning your right to claim compensation.
Internal Injuries Caused By Motor Vehicle Accidents
Some of the internal injuries that a car accident can cause include:
- Broken ribs and bones
- Detached retina
- Internal bleeding
- Ruptured spleen
- Abdominal aorta rupture (usually fatal)
- Concussion
- Traumatic brain injury
If your injuries have not been properly diagnosed and treated, we can refer you to a medical provider who can do so. Working with that doctor or other medical specialists, the lawyers at Bart Durham Injury Law will learn about your medical needs so that we can include those in our compensation demand. We will also place a value on your other losses, including lost income and pain and suffering and seek full compensation for you.
The Role Of The Life-Care Planner In Catastrophic Injury Cases
Bart Durham Injury Law has experience in cases involving catastrophic injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and burns. In these cases, we often retain the services of a life-care planner. This medical professional will conduct a thorough review of the accident victim’s situation, to determine what types of medical care, rehabilitation services and personal services the person will need for the rest of his or her life. We will then seek compensation for those costs and other losses.
