Bone Fractures from Car Accidents

The force of a car collision will often result in broken bones. The treatment for these injuries is often covered by insurance policies. If you have a broken bone injury, you may be facing a long period of pain, suffering, lost income and inconvenience. More severe accidents may lead to permanent disability.

Compensation policies vary depending on the extent of the injury. Severe broken bones (incapacitation for several months) that leads to lost work time may result in a settlement over $100,000. Minor fractures may result in settlements below $30,000. The recovery estimates are not meant to be exact approximations. The facts of all cases are different and the exact recover amounts will vary.


Recovering for Pain and Suffering

These injuries may have severe consequence for work and everyday life. If you have suffered from from a severe injury, you may require years of therapy and treatment. You may not be able to do certain everyday activities if there is not a full recovery.

If there is a negligent driver responsible for your accident, the insurance company of the driver may owe you compensation. Getting the highest possible compensation requires an experienced car accident attorney.
