Fighting For Justice In Fracture Injury Claims
Last updated on February 4, 2025
Accidents happen when we least expect them, and unfortunately, they can result in serious injuries such as fractures and broken bones. These injuries can have permanent consequences that impact a victim’s ability to provide for themselves and their families and also keep them from experiencing full body function again. When someone else causes you to suffer such harm, let a skilled personal injury attorney hold them accountable.
I am Michael Maurer, a North Carolina attorney committed to helping clients seek justice after catastrophic injuries like broken bones. At Maurer Law, I serve clients from my offices in Cornelius and Cary to serve the Charlotte and Raleigh communities. These injuries can range from minor cracks to complete breaks and can occur in various situations, including car accidents, slips and falls or sports-related incidents. Each type of fracture requires specific medical treatment and attention to ensure proper healing and recovery.
Common Accidents Leading To Bone Fractures
Any number of events can result in a broken bone. Car accidents are often the first form of accident that comes to mind since the force involved in these accidents is more than enough to break a bone. Slip-and-fall injuries are also prone to broken bones, especially for children and older adults. Sports injuries, workplace accidents and even physical assaults can also result in these injuries. Understanding the cause of your fracture is crucial in determining liability and pursuing a broken bone injury claim.
Legal Rights After Suffering A Fracture In An Accident
If you have sustained a fracture due to someone else’s negligence, you have legal rights to seek compensation. As a broken bone injury attorney, I can explain what your rights are in your situation, including the right to seek compensation for the harm someone caused you. Acting fast in these situations can mean getting the money you need to pay for your injuries sooner and also improve your chances of a successful claim.
How To Prove Liability In Fracture Cases
Proving liability in fracture cases requires a thorough understanding of the accident circumstances and the gathering of evidence. My goal as your broken bone injury lawyer is to gather the necessary evidence to sufficiently demonstrate that the negligence of another party was directly responsible for your injuries. I will collect evidence such as accident reports, witness statements and expert testimonies to establish fault. It is crucial to show a clear connection between the responsible party’s actions and your injuries.
The Role Of Medical Documentation In Fracture Claims
Medical documentation plays a pivotal role in any personal injury claim, especially in cases involving fractures. Medical records like X-rays, treatment plans and physician notes can all shed light on the intensity of your injuries and the full extent of the consequences you sustained from the accident. These documents are also critical for calculating the compensation you are entitled to, as they confirm just how much the medical costs are in your broken bone injury claim.
Compensation For Fractures And Broken Bones
One of the first things my clients always want to know is how much they can expect to receive from a compensation claim. The truth is that every claim is different, and compensation is based on the unique costs of your injuries. My role in these claims is to showcase just what the costs of your injuries are, including medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and pain and suffering. The severity of your injury and its impact on your life are critical in determining the compensation amount. As your broken bone injury attorney, I will fight to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries, helping you recover both physically and financially.

Demonstrating the long-term impact of a broken bone injury requires comprehensive medical documentation and expert testimonies. The key here is to document everything.
