Fracture Injuries

Our semi truck accident lawyers understand the hindrance of a fracture injury suffered as the result of a semi truck accident. The loss of function in a limb prevents the victim from working and living their everyday lives. When a fracture injury is suffered as a result of another person’s negligence, our semi truck accident attorneys can assist the victim in recovering damages from the at-fault party to the fullest extent of the law.

The term fracture refers to a broken bone. The damage to the bone can range from a hairline crack in the outer structure to a complete break whereby two or more parts of the bone no longer align correctly. A fracture which occurs during a semi truck accident can often be accompanied by a sprain, strain or dislocation due to the relative severity of the impact upon the bone.

Several distinct indicators accompany a fracture injury. These include: an audible pop or snap, pain which increases with movement or pressure on the injury site, swelling and bruising, the bending of a limb where there is no joint, or a bone visible protruding through the limb.

In treating a fracture injury, a healthcare professional may set, cast, or splint a broken bone to help it heal. In the case of a severe fracture, surgery may be required. Weeks and sometimes months are required for a fracture to fully heal. Often the duration of recovery is determined by the person’s health, the severity of the injury, and whether other injuries accompany the fracture.
