Common Causes of Broken Bone Injuries in Texas
Bone fractures often result from high-impact or unexpected accidents, such as:
- Car, truck, or motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian or bicycle collisions
- Slips, trips, and falls on unsafe property
- Construction site or workplace accidents
- Defective products or malfunctioning equipment
- Dog attacks or physical assaults
Some fractures heal with rest and treatment, but others require surgery, hardware implants, or extended rehabilitation. Severe breaks may lead to permanent disability, chronic pain, or limited mobility—especially in cases involving compound fractures or damage to surrounding nerves and tissue.
Types of Bone Fractures
Claims are filed for a wide range of broken bone injuries, including:
- Simple (closed) fractures – where the bone breaks but does not pierce the skin
- Compound (open) fractures – where the broken bone punctures the skin, increasing the risk of infection
- Comminuted fractures – where the bone shatters into multiple pieces
- Greenstick fractures – common in children, where the bone bends and cracks but does not fully break
- Compression fractures – often affecting the spine, these are typically caused by falls or forceful impacts
- Stress fractures – small cracks in the bone from repetitive force or trauma
Each type of fracture may require different levels of care and result in varying degrees of long-term impact.
Compensation Available for Broken Bone Injuries
In Texas, injured victims may recover compensation for both economic and non-economic damages resulting from a bone fracture.
This can include:
- Emergency medical care and surgical costs
- Hospital stays and follow-up treatment
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation
- Prescription medications and assistive devices
- Lost wages and future loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and reduced quality of life
The value of your claim will depend on the severity of the fracture, the length of your recovery, whether permanent damage occurred, and how the injury affects your ability to work and live normally.
Why Legal Help Matters in a Broken Bone Case
Insurance companies often try to downplay the seriousness of broken bone injuries, especially when x-rays and treatment plans seem straightforward. However, not all fractures heal completely. Some may require future surgeries or cause long-term complications.
A skilled Waco personal injury lawyer can help build a strong claim, gather medical evidence, work with specialists, and ensure you are not pressured into an unfair settlement.
