Securing Your Financial Recovery
After a Serious Fracture

Many people who suffer a serious fracture do not take the injury as seriously as they should. Because they know people who have broken bones as children—or they broke an arm or a leg as a child—they assume their fracture will heal properly and that will be the end of it.

But serious bone fractures are significant injuries that can have long-lasting effects. The long-term consequence of a bone fracture, particularly that of a joint, can be a lifetime of pain, arthritis, and possibly joint replacement down the road.

If you received a bone fracture injury in a car accident, truck accident, motorcycle accident, pedestrian accident, or a compression fracture from a fall on dangerous premises, contact a California personal injury attorney at Testa & Associates for a free evaluation of your personal injury case.

Settlement: $125,000

Our client suffered a fractured pelvis, fractured wrist, and nerve damage and ultimately required a hip replacement after being broadsided in a high-speed auto accident. Testa & Associates personal injury attorneys got the policy limit of the other driver, but the driver was underinsured. We then negotiated with her insurance company for coverage under her own policy for $100,000.

The personal injury attorneys at Testa & Associates will work with you to ensure that you receive a proper medical evaluation of your injury to determine the immediate effects of your injury and the possible long-term effects. Only with a thorough medical evaluation can you be prepared for therapy or surgery that may become necessary later in life.

Particularly serious bone fractures include:

Skull fractures, which can result in brain injury, loss of cognitive functioning and memory, and changed personality and emotional control. A skull fracture can be a closed head injury (concussion) or a traumatic head injury.

Back or neck fractures which, in the most severe cases, result in paralysis, quadriplegia or paraplegia, impaired movement in the limbs, inability to bear weight, and chronic bone pain.

All of these injuries can have a negative impact on employment, physical movement, motion, and endurance. The financial settlement that must be sought in these cases will take into account the immediate loss of earnings during the initial stage of injury, but also any long-term effects on employability.

If you think your case will be going to court, you want a personal injury lawyer with extensive trial experience. The personal injury attorneys at Testa & Associates have more than 30 years of experience handling serious or permanent injury cases. Contact our law office to speak to an attorney about your injury accident and your options for financial recovery.
