Accident victims who suffer bone fractures can seek financial compensation in a wide range of circumstances.

If you have questions about your legal rights, our attorneys can explain everything you need to know—and we can handle your case at no out-of-pocket cost if you are entitled to just compensation.
Common Causes of Broken Bones
Even though our bones are incredibly strong, they cannot withstand the forces involved in serious traumatic accidents. As a result, accidents resulting in broken bones are among the most common types of cases we handle. Our attorneys have extensive experience fighting for just compensation on behalf of individuals who have suffered broken bones in accidents, including (but not limited to):
- Auto Accidents – We handle cases involving broken bones suffered in rear-end collisions, head-on collisions, T-bone collisions and all other types of car, truck, SUV and motorcycle accidents.
- Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents – We represent individuals who suffered bone fractures in bicycle and pedestrian accidents caused by dangerous, distracted and negligent drivers.
- Premises-Related Accidents – We handle cases involving broken bones suffered due to slips, trips, falls from heights, elevator and escalator malfunctions, and other premises-related accidents.
- Product-Related Accidents – We represent individuals who have suffered fractures due to all types of product failures, including failures involving appliances, tools, recreational equipment, vehicles, furniture and other common household and industrial products.
- Dog Attacks – We represent individuals who suffered bone fractures when they were knocked to the ground by vicious dogs during attacks on public and private property.
In many cases, accident victims who suffer broken bones will suffer other serious injuries as well. If you are facing medical bills and other costs associated with a significant soft tissue injury, nerve damage, internal bleeding or any other type of serious injury in addition to your bone fracture, our attorneys can help you seek just compensation for these costs in addition to the costs associated with your fracture.
Common Types of Bone Fractures in Traumatic Accidents
When seeking financial compensation for an accident-related bone fracture, it is critical to make sure you are seeking the full compensation you deserve. There are several different types of bone fractures, and each type presents its own unique set of treatment options, potential complications and costs. When you choose to work with a broken bones attorney at our firm, your attorney will ensure that he or she is seeking the full compensation you deserve for your injury.
We take this custom-tailored approach to every case we handle—including cases involving:

If you have a case, your attorney will thoroughly review your medical records and consult with medical experts as warranted to ensure that he or she has a comprehensive understanding of the long-term costs of your fracture. This includes not only your out-of-pocket costs such as medical bills and lost wages, but also your non-financial costs such as pain and suffering, emotional trauma and loss of enjoyment of life. All types of bone fractures can have long-term effects, and it is critical to make sure you are seeking the compensation you will need to manage the effects of your fracture both during and after your recovery.
The Importance of Experienced Legal Representation
Due to the significant financial and non-financial costs associated with bone fractures, it is important that you do not try to handle your situation on your own. If you have a personal injury claim, you will need an experienced attorney to help you seek the financial compensation you deserve.
Here are just some of the reasons why it is important to have an experienced broken bones attorney on your side:
1. Making Sure You Seek to Hold the Right Party (or Parties) Accountable
In all types of personal injury cases, it is critical to make sure you are seeking to hold the right party (or parties) accountable. This requires a comprehensive investigation, which may involve gathering evidence from the accident scene and various other sources. Your attorney will be able to work quickly to gather the evidence you need.
2. Making Sure You Seek the Full Compensation You Deserve
Along with making sure you are seeking to hold the right party (or parties) accountable, you also need to make sure you are seeking the full compensation you deserve. Relying on his or her experience, your attorney will be able to accurately calculate just compensation for your present and future accident-related losses.
3. Documenting the Financial and Non-Financial Costs You Are Entitled to Recover
Comprehensive documentation of your losses is one of the keys to a successful personal injury claim. Your attorney will be able to make sure he or she has all of the documentation needed to fight for just compensation on your behalf.
4. Making Sure the Insurance Companies Handle Your Case Appropriately
While the insurance companies are required to handle all personal injury claims in good faith under Pennsylvania law, improper delays, deductions and denials are all common. Your attorney can help make sure the insurance companies handle your case appropriately.
5. Being Prepared to Take the Insurance Companies to Court if Necessary
Finally, if the insurance companies are unwilling to settle your case for just compensation, your attorney will be prepared to fight for just compensation in court. Going to court is a complex process that requires experienced legal counsel.
