New York City Broken Bone Attorneys
Broken bones and fractures can create a number of serious problems. First, broken bones may require months or longer to heal. While you are recuperating, you may be limited in the work you are able to do. Second, certain fractures may require extensive surgeries, placing rods, pins, screws and other hardware in the bone. Even after the bone has healed, it may not be as strong as it once was. You may have physical limitations as a result.
The lawyers at Law Offices of David J. Hernandez & Associates help people with broken bones make complete financial recoveries for their injuries. David J. Hernandez is a Life Member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and has been selected as a Super Lawyer in 2010 and 2007. Let us worry about the legal issues, while you focus on making a complete physical recovery. Every injury claim must be filed within a certain time frame. The sooner you contact our law firm, the sooner we can begin working on your case.
You can break or fracture bones in any kind of accident, such as:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Workplace accidents
- Construction accidents
- Slip-and-fall accidents
Children can suffer broken bones while playing on playground equipment or at school. In addition, there are different kinds of fractures. A compound fracture, or open fracture is when the broken bone protrudes from the skin. Simple fractures do not break the skin. Compound fractures are especially complex in adults, and may require orthopedic surgeries.
The severity of a broken bone depends on many factors. For instance, as we age, our bones can become more brittle. As a result, the elderly may have a greater tendency to break or fracture bones in accidents. In certain cases, even after a broken bone heals, an elderly person may lose mobility. Our law firm is fully committed to helping you recover the full costs of your injuries, including your lost wages for the past and any expected future wage losses.
Most cases are eventually resolved in negotiated settlements. When the opposition is not being reasonable, however, our law firm will always be prepared to take your case before a jury. We will be prepared to show members of the jury just how your broken bone has impacted your life. We will then translate your losses into an appropriate amount of money to compensate you for these costs.
