Legal Help for Broken Bone Injuries in San Jose
Broken bones can occur in many situations. A person who was involved in a car accident or a slip and fall accident may experience fractures in the arms, legs, ribs, hips, or other parts of their body. Broken bones can be painful, debilitating, and costly. An experienced personal injury attorney can help people who have suffered bone fractures or other injuries due to another person's negligence. At the Law Office of John J. Garvey, III, we can help injury victims obtain medical care and compensation for their damages. With our help, a person who has suffered a bone fracture will be in the best position to get the justice they deserve.
Addressing Issues Related to Bone Fractures
There are often pieces of good news about a bone fracture:
- It is not usually life-threatening.
- It will usually heal with time.
- It does not lead to lingering mental deficits such as in the case of a head injury.
- In the grand scheme of things, it is generally fixable compared to more serious injuries.
The bad news associated with a broken bone, however, can overwhelm a victim and the victim's family, both short-term and long-term:
- Emergency medical treatment and follow-up care can be expensive, painful, and time-consuming for the victim and family members.
- Pain management can have its own complications, including the possibility that a patient will develop a dependency on painkillers.
- The injured person is likely to be temporarily disabled and immobilized for a lengthy period of time.
- The injured person will most likely not be able to work for some time. Even if they can return to work, they may have diminished capabilities for days, weeks, or months.
- Complications leading to ongoing chronic pain (such as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy [RSD], Complex Regional Pain Syndrome [CRPS], or arachnoiditis) may be a side effect of the bone fracture.
- Determining who is responsible for the injury is often a challenge.
- Insurance companies and medical providers may flood the patient with obstacles, including mountains of complicated paperwork and documentation requirements.
In addition to requiring the best medical care you can find, you most likely also need legal advice and representation to assist in your recovery. If you or a family member has suffered a bone fracture as a result of a motor vehicle accident, hazards on someone else's property, a workplace accident, a boat accident, an airplane crash, or another situation you were injured because of negligence, it is wise to talk to a San Jose area broken bone injury lawyer sooner rather than later. Attorney John Garvey has over 45 years of experience in these types of cases, and he can help you cut through the red tape and find the relief that you seek after you have broken a bone.
