Seeking Compensation for Broken Bone Injuries
A broken bone is a serious injury that can have long-term consequences, especially if it is not treated properly from the start. If you've suffered a bone fracture in an accident, it is important that you get medical treatment right away and then discuss your options with an attorney.

Understanding the Main Types of Broken Bones
Many people do not realize that there are different types of broken bones that require different approaches if injured people are to make the fullest possible recovery. Generally, most broken bones can be divided into two major types.
- Clean fractures: When most people think of a broken bone, they are thinking of the sort of clean fracture that can generally be healed by setting the affected area in a cast or boot for a certain period of time.
- Shattered bones (comminuted fractures): This type of broken bone occurs much more often in car wrecks and other sudden accidents. It may require a more complex healing procedure, including the installation of screws, plates and similar devices.
Our personal injury trial attorneys will work with your doctors and other qualified professionals to determine what type of injury you have suffered, what level of treatment will be required and what, if any, long-term consequences will result from your broken bones.
Standing Up to the Insurance Company on Your Behalf
While a broken bone can generally be documented using an X-ray and is therefore relatively easy to prove, there are still many potential roadblocks insurance companies can throw up in the way of people seeking full compensation for their injuries.
Both of the lawyers at our firm have more than 30 years of Florida experience and have taken dozens of cases to trial before juries. We are prepared for the possibility that we will need to go to court to get the results you deserve. Don't hesitate to contact us today.
