Types of Broken Bones That Happen in Tucson
Broken bones may seem like a lesser injury when considering some of the catastrophic injuries that can happen on Tucson, AZ roads. However, they can be just as painful, and their symptoms as long-lasting. Some common broken bones injuries we see include:
- Skull fractures
- Dislocated joints (shoulder, hip, etc)
- Paralysis and spinal fractures
- Greenstick fractures, where the bone bends, leaving a crack rather than a clean break
- Comminuted fractures, where there are multiple breaks along the same bone
- Stable fracture, which is a little more straightforward–a bone is broken, but there is very little additional damage if any at all
- Oblique fractures, where your bone breaks at an angle
- Transverse fracture, where the bone breaks in a straight line across your bone
- Open compound fractures, where the bone breaks through the skin and is exposed
Some of these injuries simply need medical intervention and time to heal. But others, especially if they are paired with other injuries, may take multiple surgeries and years to heal. This is why you need financial compensation to prepare for life after a broken bone.
Life After a Broken Bone
After breaking a bone, you may face a number of changes to your everyday life. For example, you may experience related symptoms like:
- Stiffness
- Joint pain
- Swelling
- Changes to how you look at the break site (bends, bumps)
- Trouble using the body part that broke
- Pain
- Muscle spasms
- Loss of sexual function
- Loss of range of motion, movement and sensation
To combat the break and its symptoms, your doctor may prescribe a number of treatments, like:
- Prescription medication
- Setting the bone
- Physical therapy
- Surgeries
All of this comes at a major cost that the insurance companies will try to undervalue. That’s why our attorneys are focused on one thing–fighting for your maximized compensation.
Causes of Broken Bones and Fractures in Tucson
Broken bones and fractures can be caused by many different accidents and scenarios in Tucson. Some are classic personal injury cases, like:
But, bones can break due to other situations, too. Workplace accidents, defective products, and slip and falls can result in this injury. Very sadly, it happens in cases of elderly abuse, physical abuse, and sexual abuse.
Broken bones are also very common for children. Children may suffer this injury as they ride the school bus, encounter an uncontrolled dog, or as they cross the street as pedestrians.
Note: Often, the person responsible for the neglect of a child ends up being the caregiver. However, the issue isn’t always so obvious. Sometimes another person, company, or manufacturer is liable–and that’s where Lerner and Rowe’s child injury lawyers can help clear up any fuzzy areas within the case.
