Fractures are common in car crashes, falls, and workplace accidents. While some heal cleanly, others require surgery, hardware, and months of rehabilitation — and some leave permanent impairment.
Factors That Affect Value
- Whether surgery and hardware (plates, screws, rods) were needed.
- The length of recovery and rehabilitation.
- Whether the break causes lasting limitation or arthritis.
- Lost income during recovery.
- Visible scarring from surgery.
Complex and Compound Fractures
Compound fractures that break the skin and complex breaks involving joints often lead to longer recoveries and higher risk of permanent problems. These deserve careful valuation rather than a quick insurance estimate.
Follow your full treatment and rehab plan. Gaps give insurers an excuse to argue you recovered faster than you did.
Don't Undervalue Your Injury
Insurers may treat a fracture as routine, but lasting effects can justify far more. An attorney can document the full impact. A free consultation can assess your claim.
