While a broken bone sustained from car accident might be as simple as a fractured arm that will heal in just a few months, there are far more serious broken bone injuries that can take much longer to heal or that may require reconstructive surgery and/or physical therapy. In some cases, a broken bone may even prevent the injured person from returning to work, taking part in routine activities with loved ones, or living a normal everyday life. Victims of car accidents should contact an experienced Tennessee broken bone injury lawyer in order to obtain accurate information and assistance.
If the car accident in which you suffered your broken bone injury was caused by the negligence of another person, you may be able to take legal action against this person in order to recover financial damages. It is imperative that victims of broken bone injuries seek legal guidance immediately after the accident occurs. Even if an injury seems minor, it may potentially cause major problems in the future. At that time, the opportunity to receive compensation for your injuries may have passed.
Compensation recovered by the victim of the car accident should reflect the impact that the broken bone injury has had on his life. Along with the cost of medical bills, compensation should also include any income the victim lost out on by being unable to return to work, as well as the estimated cost of the pain and suffering incurred by being unable to participate in everyday activities with loved ones now and in the future. Unfortunately, insurance companies often attempt to discredit the severity of broken bone injuries and therefore limit the amount of compensation awarded to the injured person.
Broken bones, especially those resulting in a major surgery or long-term physical therapy, can inflict both an emotional and financial toll on your life and the lives of loved ones.
