Regarding Broken Bones or Bone Fracture Injuries

Broken bones are serious injuries which can take a long time to heal and afterwards may result in constant pain or disability. They are not injuries to be taken lightly. Anyone can suffer a fracture in a fall or other accident. The very young and the elderly are most likely to experience severe consequences in a serious break. If you have suffered one or more broken bones in an accident caused by someone else's mistake or negligence you may be due compensation for your damages. A Minnesota personal injury attorney should be consulted to determine if you should file a claim for compensation.

Injury Lawyer in Minnesota

Individuals with bone fracture injuries can be laid up from several weeks to many months or longer depending upon the type of break. This can mean your income stops and your life gets interrupted for the duration of the healing period. We are often called upon to represent people who have been injured through no fault of their own in car accidents, truck accidents, pedestrian accidents, motorcycle accidents, construction accidents, sports accidents, premises liability cases, and slip and fall accidents. Broken bones can include any type of break such as:

• Hairline fracture - the bone is cracked but not completely broken
• Simple fracture - the bone is broken in one place
• Comminuted fractures - a bone is broken in more than one place. This injury may require screws and a plate to repair the injury
• Compound fractures - a bone has broken and protrudes through the skin. This injury is dangerous as infection may develop.

An experienced broken bone lawyer at our firm understands the pain and suffering which accompanies such an injury as well as the potential for future disability and is meticulous in ensuring that every past, present, and future expense related to an injury is included in the claim for compensation.

The more complicated the fracture, the more likelihood there is of larger medical expense, greater loss of income, and the need for future medical care. We also understand the financial stress an injured person can experience when working and earning money is out of the question for a long period of time. A compassionate personal injury attorney at Heimerl & Lammers is determined to ensure that full compensation is paid for these serious injuries.
