Orthopaedic Injuries Can Be Caused by Many Different Types of Accidents
Orthopaedic injuries and musculoskeletal injuries involve the muscles and bones of the human body and can affect ligaments, joints, tendons and other soft tissues supporting them. These injuries can be caused by serious accidents such as :
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Slip and fall accidents
- Sports-related accidents
- Medical negligence
- Assaults
Orthopaedic injuries are painful and debilitating, often affecting the victim’s quality of life and their ability to earn an income. Victims of orthopaedic injuries often require lengthy comprehensive medical care, costly rehabilitation, time off from work, and occasionally a full-time caregiver.
Not Just Broken Bones
Orthopaedic injuries involve much more than broken bones. They can include:
- Fractures
- Whiplash
- Muscle strains or ruptures
- Tendon tears, ruptures, or inflammation
- Ligament tears, ruptures, or strains
- Neck injuries
- Back injuries
- Chronic pain
- Nerve damage
While broken bones can be repaired, they can often lead to chronic issues such as nerve damage, arthritis, impaired mobility and chronic pain. These injuries require costly treatments they can go on for years even after the initial surgical treatment and rehabilitation and can have lifelong consequences.
Quality of Life
Orthopaedic injuries often have an impact on the victim’s quality of life and future employability after an accident. Orthopaedic surgeries often have complications that may even require further surgical intervention. Depending on the extent of the orthopaedic injury, healing time can vary with more complicated injuries taking years and often affecting the victim for a lifetime.
Costs Add Up
These potentials for loss of income and further medical and rehabilitative costs can add up quickly and leave a victim and his or her family feeling overwhelmed and desperate. If you have been injured due to someone else’s negligence or carelessness, you may be entitled to compensation for these costs.
The Advice and Support of a Personal Injury Professional
Dealing with an orthopaedic injury on your own can be confusing and frustrating. Relying on insurance settlements can be risky. We understand what victims go through during those weeks and months after a serious accident.
Unfortunately, we also see how the insurance industry can shortchange victims by downplaying injuries and often outright denying claims.
