Bone fractures are serious injuries that can have long-term consequences. Some broken bones can only be healed through multiple invasive medical procedures. If you've suffered a fracture in an accident caused by a negligent driver or anyone else, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.

Identifying Your Injuries So You Can Pursue a Claim
Under New York's no-fault law, you can only bring a personal injury claim for a car crash if you have suffered a serious physical injury. The law defines 13 categories of serious physical injuries, including fractures. Due to this, people with broken bones may have more options for compensation than people with some other injuries.
If you've been in a car accident, it is important to determine as soon as possible whether you have suffered a fracture so that you can pursue a personal injury claim.
Some fractures are not immediately obvious, especially in the aftermath of auto accidents when there is so much else going on. If you are concerned that you may have broken a bone, you should have your injuries evaluated by a doctor right away and also contact a lawyer to begin the process of investigating your case.

Whether you have suffered a fracture in an auto accident or any other type of accident, we will take the necessary steps to document the causes of your injuries as well as their consequences, including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We will then pursue a personal injury claim against the responsible party.
