What Is a Fracture Injury?
A break, crack, or fracture in a bone is called a fracture. Not all fractures are the same; some heal on their own, while others require surgery, physical therapy, and a long recovery period that can last months. Fractures are not only very painful, but they can also have long-term effects on mobility, ability to work, and quality of life.
Legal Basis for Fracture Injury Claims
To succeed in a personal injury claim for a fracture, you must prove that:
- Someone else was negligent or reckless
- That negligence directly caused your injury
- You suffered a loss as a result
Michael J. Brennan, with his experience as a former prosecutor, builds strong legal arguments for his clients. Whether your case involves a careless property owner, a careless driver or an employer, he knows how to hold them accountable.
What to Do After an Injury
Immediate Steps to Take
If you suffer a fracture, your health should be your first priority. However, to protect your legal rights, it is important to:
- Seek immediate medical attention even if the injury seems minor.
- Take photographs of the scene, your injuries, and any contributing factors such as a wet floor or broken railing.
- Report the incident to the property owner, your employer or the police depending on the circumstances. Get information from witnesses who saw what happened.
- Contact a lawyer as soon as possible to avoid mistakes that could harm your case.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don’t provide recorded statements to insurance companies without first obtaining legal advice.
- Don’t delay treatment or miss follow-up appointments – this can be used against you.
- Don’t agree to a deal too early – insurance companies often offer quick, low payouts before the full extent of your injury is known.
