If you or a loved one have suffered broken bones from a car accident, motorcycle accident, pedestrian accident in Los Angeles, contact our personal injury attorneys at Heidari Law Group for a free consultation to determine the legal strategies we can take to ensure maximum compensation for your broken bone injuries.

When it comes to broken bones, recovery can be a long and challenging journey. For some individuals, the healing process may take months, or even years, to restore mobility and strength. Sadly, not all fractures will heal perfectly, leaving some victims with long-term complications that affect their quality of life. If you or a loved one are struggling with the aftermath of a broken bone injury, it’s essential to know that you don’t have to face the financial burdens alone.

Why Should Victims Suffer Financially?

If your broken bone injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you deserve justice. Victims shouldn’t be left to shoulder the financial strain resulting from another person’s actions. Our goal is to hold at-fault parties accountable and ensure our clients receive the compensation they deserve for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Why Hire a Los Angeles Bone Attorney?

At our firm, we understand the complexities of broken bone injury cases. Our Los Angeles broken bone attorneys specialize in advocating for injury victims, ensuring they receive the financial support needed for a full recovery. Did you know? According to the National Center for Health Statistics, around 15% of all injuries in the U.S. are bone fractures. This statistic highlights just how common, yet serious, these injuries are.

How Can We Help?

We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning there’s no upfront cost to you. You only pay if we successfully recover compensation for your injuries. This client-focused approach means you can focus on healing without the added stress of legal fees.

Q: What is a contingency fee?
A: A contingency fee means that our attorneys don’t get paid unless your case results in a successful settlement or verdict. This structure aligns our goals with yours—fighting to maximize your compensation.

The Painful Reality of Broken Bone Injuries

Suffering from a broken bone can lead to severe pain and ongoing complications. Everyday tasks, such as walking, driving, or even standing, can become challenging. In some cases, complications such as nerve damage or improper bone healing can cause chronic pain or disability. If the fracture is severe or improperly treated, the victim may face surgeries and rehabilitation that last for years.

Common Causes of Broken Bones in Los Angeles

Our attorneys have decades of experience handling broken bone injury claims in Los Angeles. Some instances the cause of broken bones include, but are not limited to:

  • Car accidents: This is one of the most common types of accidents that could lead to broken bones.
  • Motorcycle crashes: because motorcyclists do not have a protective barrier that vehicle drivers do, motorcyclists are more likely to end up getting broken bones after an accident.
  • Bicycle accidents: this occurs when a bicyclist is hit by a car, and falls off their bike, sustaining broken bones.
  • Truck accidents: because trucks are much larger than an average car, broken bones are very common to result from a car v. truck accident.
  • Big rig accidents
  • Construction accidents: construction work is considered one of the most dangerous workplace environments since workers are very likely to suffer broken bones when falling from great heights.
  • Pedestrian accident
  • Slip and fall accidents: broken bones at the wrists, legs, and shoulders are very common in a slip and fall accident.
  • Defective products
  • Rideshare accidents
  • Workplace accidents
  • Explosions
  • Assault
  • Animal attacks

Even if you don’t know what the cause of your bone injuries were, contact our attorneys for free no risk consultation. During this consultation, we could determine what the potential accident is and the potential defendants. We believe that the person responsible should be held accountable for the harm they have caused. You deserve a full and fair compensation that covers your medical bills, ongoing treatment as well as compensation for pain and suffering.

Who are the defendants in a broken bone injury lawsuit in Los Angeles?

Depending on the circumstances of your case, there could be multiple defendants liable for the broken bone injury. Examples of these defendants are:

  • Landowners
  • Business owners
  • Dog owners
  • Drivers
  • Construction workers
  • Contractors
  • Amusement park owners

Our attorneys will go after these negligent parties to show how they failed to act within the standard of care. Because they still have to act within that standard of care, the plaintiff has now had to suffer broken bone injuries.

Common Broken Bone Injuries

Broken bones and fractures fall into various categories with differing degrees of severity, recovery time, and prospects. The severity of the injury will primarily depend on the force of impact as well as the condition of the victim – elderly people are more prone to severe injuries as their bones are more brittle.

Regardless of which bone is broken, it’s important to have the correct diagnosis and get the appropriate treatment for your specific fracture. Without this, your bone may fail to heal properly, potentially causing long-term complications that necessitate additional surgical procedures to fix the issue. This is not only expensive but extremely frustrating for your overall recovery goals. Here are some of the most common types of broken bone injuries:

  • Compound Fracture – This is a full bone break with separation of the bone fragments piercing the skin. These are particularly serious, often requiring surgery and carry the risk of deep bone infection.
  • Compression Fracture – This is usually associated with the spine when one or more vertebrae collapse, compressing the spine and changing its shape.
  • Displaced Fracture – This occurs when the broken bone moves from its original location so that the ends are no longer lined up or twists to a strange angle.
  • Non-Displaced Fracture – This involves a broken bone that hasn’t moved out of place. These usually are easier to treat and all that is needed is to restrict motion long enough for the bone to join together.
  • Simple Fracture – Simple fracture is a fracture where the bone breaks but doesn’t pierce/puncture the skin.
  • Open Fracture – This occurs when the skin is pierced by a broken bone causing an open wound. These fractures require surgery to put the bone back into place.
  • Closed Fracture – Unlike the bone fracture, there is no puncture or open wound. The bone is hidden in the soft tissue but no open wound in the skin.
  • Greenstick Fracture – With the greenstick fracture, the bone is bent but the fracture doesn’t go all the way through the bone.
  • Transverse Fracture – These are fractures with a horizontal fracture line (fracture is perpendicular to the shaft of the bone).
  • Oblique Fracture – These are fractures with an angled pattern, running diagonally to a bone’s long axis.
  • Linear Fracture – Linear fracture runs parallel to the bone’s long axis with no displacement.
  • Spiral Fracture – Spiral fracture occurs in long bones like those in the arms or legs. A bone bends or gets twisted but doesn’t fracture entirely.
  • Comminuted Fracture – This refers to a bone that is crushed into three or more pieces. Some high-impact falls or accidents cause this and it’s more common in older adults with brittle bones.

What happens if the broken bone is not treated properly?

It is very important to seek medical treatment immediately after an accident in order to treat the broken bones. Failure to treat the broken bones could result in other medical problems, such as:

  • Nerve damage
  • Blood clots
  • Skin lacerations
  • Internal bleeding
  • Diminished range of motion

Recovering from a broken bone can range from weeks, two months, to even years. Oftentimes, treatments for broken bones require surgeries, and even a cast to make sure the bone is healing properly.

How much could I receive for my broken bone injury lawsuit in Los Angeles?

There are different factors that could impact the value of your case. No two cases are the same, however our attorneys look at a variety of factors to determine how much you could generally receive. A few factors we look at include:

  • The severity of the broken bone

  • Whether you could return back to your normal life
  • How long you have been suffering from the broken bone injury

How can our bones injury attorneys help?

  • During your free initial consultation, our qualified Los Angeles broken bones injury attorneys will listen to your case, explain your legal options, and fight on your behalf to obtain the maximum compensation for your injuries. Usually, there are a number of factors that determine the value of a broken bone insurance claim.
  • One of the most important factors that determine the amount of compensation you could receive is the severity of your injuries and the severity of the accident. For example, if you were a pedestrian and were hit by a car, you most likely will suffer very severe injuries that need financial compensation for ongoing medical care.
  • If you weren’t the one responsible for your broken bone injury, then you shouldn’t be left paying the medical bills and carrying the burden that comes with it all by yourself. Speaking to any of our personal injury attorneys can help you determine how to file the lawsuit, who to file the lawsuit against, and the potential value of your claim. We handle our injury cases on a contingency basis, which means you don’t pay anything until we win the case.
  • After hearing your claim, we then look into the circumstances of the situation and determine who the negligent at-fault party could be, and how they feel to act within that standard of care.
  • There are several inexperienced personal injury law firms that portray themselves as having knowledge. Is very important to hire an experienced attorney that has a great success rate, and is knowledgeable about the laws in your state. Our attorneys have extensive experience litigating claims in California. Unlike other firms, we are not quick to accept any settlement offer.
