Why Broken Bone Injuries & Accidents Happen In Los Angeles

Broken bones or fractures can occur for several reasons, but are often the result of negligence arising from: 

  • Bicycle accidents – Bicyclists are required to obey traffic laws, but drivers in Los Angeles must be aware of their surroundings at all times and look out for bicycle riders
  • Car accidents – Even a minor car accident can lead to broken bones; however, high-impact collisions can result in crushed bones and other catastrophic injuries
  • Construction accidents – Falls are the leading cause of injury at construction sites, resulting in fractured arms, legs, and other broken bones
  • Pedestrian accidents – Pedestrians have the right of way in California, a pedestrian accident caused by a distracted driver often results in serious broken bone injuries
  • Slip and falls – A slip and fall accident caused by spills, cracked sidewalks, broken steps, and other hazards often result in bone breaks in the hands, wrists, shoulders, legs, and ankles
  • Truck accidents – A commercial truck accident often results in broken bone injuries to occupants of smaller vehicles, including multiple fractures and crushed bones

Our firm has the skills and experience to handle all types of accident claims, prove the other party’s negligence, and help you obtain the financial and medical resources you need to recover from your injuries.  

Common Broken Bone Injuries in a Los Angeles Accident

 Many types of bone fractures can occur in an accident, such as:

  • Hairline fracture  – a small crack or bruise that does not result in complete separation of the bone which may go undetected in an X-ray
  • Simple fracture – a type of bone fracture that does not pierce the skin and heals after several weeks of wearing a cast 
  • Compound fracture – a medical emergency that occurs when a broken bone splits and pushes through the skin, often requiring surgery
  • Avulsion fracture – a bone fracture in which a piece of the bone separates from a tendon or ligament
  • Buckle fracture – occurs when a bone severely bends or “buckles” but doesn’t fracture completely
  • Transverse Fracture  – a fracture that occurs vertically across the surface of the bone, causing the bone to snap into two pieces
  • Comminuted Fracture – occurs when a bone is crushed or breaks into multiple pieces, commonly caused by car accidents 

Minor fractures typically heal quickly, however serious broken bone injuries may require surgery and extensive physical therapy.

Damages You Can Recover for a Broken Bone Injury Case

In a broken bone injury claim, you may be entitled to compensatory damages that include economic and non-economic damages.

Economic Damages

Also referred to as special damages, economic damages are awarded for actual monetary losses related to your injury, such as:

  • Medical expenses – past and future
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of earning capacity
  • Cost of rehabilitation
  • Property damage

Non-economic Damages

Also referred to as general damages, non-economic damages are intended to compensate you for intangible losses, such as:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Permanent disability
  • Permanent disfigurement
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

In addition to compensatory damages, you may also be awarded punitive damages from your case if the responsible party’s conduct was egregious or unlawful (e.g. DUI, assault). These damages are intended to punish that party’s misconduct and deter others from taking part in similar behavior.
