A fracture or joint injury can cause immediate damage and pain. There are long-term effects that need to be accounted for, especially when you have been injured due to negligence.
A fracture can result from any type of accident, whether in an automobile, on a work site or simply walking down the block doing your everyday routine. For example:
- Car accidents: Did you injure your wrist, knee, elbow, arm or foot in a car crash? Bracing against the steering wheel, steering column, dash board, door or floor board can cause serious wrist injuries, ankle injuries, or knee injuries resulting from the impact of a car crash or truck accident — especially in rear-end, head-on or side-impact (sometimes called a "t-bone") collisions.
- Construction accidents: Falling off a forklift or ladder, being struck by falling debris, encountering a defective piece of heavy equipment or being involved with another construction accident may cause you to suffer serious back injuries, multiple site fractures and joint injuries. Know your rights, including your right to full compensation.
- Slip and fall accidents: People who fall to the ground in a slip and fall or trip and fall may be subjected to hip injuries, complex fractures, or serious joint injuries that cause chronic pain and require ongoing rehabilitation and treatment.
The above are just a few examples out of the many ways one may be seriously injured. If you've been injured in an accident, call us, we can help.
You must seek immediate medical attention when you have suffered a fracture or any serious damage to your joints. Proper medical attention not only ensures that you receive the kind of care that is necessary for your injuries, it also provides documentation of those injuries as soon as possible after the accident.
Having experienced and aggressive representation from the beginning of your case is essential to ensure that you have an experienced advocate on your side. We have provided this kind of diligent service and advocacy for 40 years at Pazer, Epstein & Jaffe, P.C.
An injury to a knee, shoulder, elbow or other joint suffered on someone's premises or behind the wheel of a car can be degenerative and permanent. While immediate medical care helps and surgeries could reduce the joint pain, there may be long-term issues that need to be addressed to establish your personal injury case. Simple daily tasks and morning routines can become difficult and leave you in excruciating pain. Cartilage damage and inflammation of a joint could cause a lifetime of arthritis.
