When you break or fracture a bone, you may need a splint, cast, or brace until it heals. However, if it is a severe fracture, you may need surgery. When someone else’s negligence caused your injury, speak with a well-versed catastrophic injury attorney from Tomeny | Best for help pursuing damages.
You do not need to go through the claims process on your own. When you face expensive medical bills, a long recuperative time without your wages, and are in pain, an Iberville Parish fracture injury lawyer from our firm could sit down with you and help you hold the negligent party liable for your injuries.
Defining the Causes of Bone Fractures
Bone fractures are common and occur when enough force is exerted on the bone to break it. Often, these accidents are caused because someone was careless or reckless, which could include:
- Pedestrian accidents
- Slip and fall accidents
- Car accidents from drunk or speeding motorists
Medical care for a fracture includes realigning the bones, immobilization, and internal fixation in which metal rods, screws, plates, pins, and wires are inserted into the bone to hold it in place. Patients may also receive external fixation in which two screws on either side of the bone are used to stabilize it. Other options include joint replacement and bone grafts.
Establishing Liability
The liable party should pay for any expenses they caused by their negligence. At Tomeny | Best, we tenaciously pursue and win large insurance settlements but do not hesitate to take a client’s case to court for a jury to award the most money we can get. When a person is injured, an Iberville Parish and Plaquemine fracture injury attorney could handle a negligence case so they can focus on healing.
Gathering the Necessary Evidence
The fracture injury attorneys at our Iberville Parish office begin by participating in a complimentary consultation via phone and/or videoconferencing or in person with prospective clients, during which we learn about the person and how the fracture occurred. We then gather evidence to prove negligence and show how much a client’s claim is worth. Evidence comes from law enforcement reports, medical treatment plans, witness testimony, expert testimony, cell phones and surveillance pictures and videos.
We determine the guilty parties, including negligent motorists, medical personnel and hospitals, homeowners, nursing homes, commercial property owners, landlords, and employers. We then negotiate with insurance companies and/or prepare for trial. We aim to ensure our clients have the money they must rely on to overcome the losses from their fracture injuries.
