Causes of Fractures in Motor Vehicle Collisions

Motor vehicle collisions and slip and trip and fall incidents are all a common cause of fractures, and there are several ways in which a fracture can occur during a car accident or a slip, trip and fall. The other party’s insurance company should compensate you for damages accumulated due to your broken bones. Some of the most common causes of fractures in car accidents and other automobile collisions include:

Direct Impact, When a body part comes into direct contact with a hard surface, such as the dashboard, steering wheel, or door, it can result in a fracture.
Crushing Injuries, This happens when a body part is crushed between two hard surfaces, such as in a head-on or side-impact collision.
Twisting Injuries, When a body part is twisted or torqued during a collision, such as when the lower leg is twisted during impact, it can result in a fracture.
Ejection, If a person is ejected from the vehicle during a collision, they may experience multiple fractures from the impact with the ground or other objects.
Seat Belt Injuries, While seat belts can prevent serious injuries, they can also cause fractures in some car accidents. For example, the force of the seatbelt across the chest can cause a sternum or rib fracture.

What Damages Can be Recovered From Your Personal Injury?

Suppose bones get broken in a car accident. In that case, the victim may be able to recover a variety of damages, depending on the circumstances of the accident and the extent of the injuries. Some of the damages that may be available to a victim in this situation include:

Past and Future Medical Expenses, This includes the cost of hospitalization, surgery, medication, physical therapy, and any other medical expenses related to the treatment of broken bones. Disfigurement and scarring can also be compensated.
Lost Wages, If the victim cannot work due to their broken bones, they may be able to recover lost income.
Pain and Suffering, This includes the physical pain and emotional distress caused by the accident and its resulting injuries.
Property Damage, If the victim’s vehicle or other property was damaged in the accident, they can seek compensation for the cost of repairs or replacement.

Evidence That Attorneys Can Use to Prove Liability

Our law firm will work hard to investigate your claim by finding enough evidence to recover compensation. They can do this by using the following forms of proof:

Police Reports, A police report can provide valuable information about the accident, including statements from witnesses and the officer’s observations of the scene.
Eyewitness Testimony, Witnesses to the accident can provide testimony about what they saw and help establish who was at fault.
Photographs and Videos, Photographs and videos of the scene of the accident can provide important evidence, such as damage to the vehicles and the location of the vehicles at the time of the accident.
Medical Bills, The cost of your injury treatments can be used to prove that you were harmed as a consequence of another’s negligence.
Future Health Care Needs, Our car accident lawyers will consult with your doctors in order to get an accurate idea of what your future healthcare needs will likely be. We will then work with certified life care planners in order to calculate what those future healthcare needs will cost.
Subpoenaed Information, A subpoena is a legal order that requires a person or entity to produce documents, information, or testimony in a legal proceeding, such as a car accident case.
