Fracture and Joint Injuries

Help With Fracture And Joint Injury Claims

Broken bones or injuries to tendons or ligaments can wreak havoc on a person’s life. While these injuries may eventually heal to some degree, these injuries can place severe limitations on a person’s ability to make a living. Any type of joint or fracture can cause lifelong problems, including:

• Intra-articular fracture, or a fracture involving a joint. These injuries can lead to arthritis.
• Dislocated joints, such as shoulders, knees, and elbows. Although these injuries may not fracture, they can be extremely painful and lead to significant joint weakness.
• Depending on the circumstances, even so-called soft tissue injuries can devastate a person’s overall health and ability to work.

If you or a loved one has sustained a fracture or joint injury at work or in some other setting, it is vital to have experienced legal counsel at your side.

• $10.5 million settlement following $8.9 million verdict (reduced to $7.6 million on appeal) for a 31-year-old electrician kneeling on the wooden platform of Baker’s scaffold that collapsed. He fell 8 feet to the concrete floor below, resulting in a comminuted fracture of his kneecap (patella) and a lateral meniscus tear. Our client required surgery with open reduction and internal fixation, a second operation to remove the hardware and for partial lateral meniscectomy, and a third operation for further partial lateral meniscectomy.
• $2.5 million settlement for a 28-year-old electrician who fell from a ladder and suffered a compound fracture of the L1 vertebra, requiring surgery to replace the vertebra with a rib and crushed wrist requiring surgery with open reduction and internal fixation.
