Our esteemed lawyers at Scarlett Law Group proudly represent individuals who have suffered broken bones and fracture injuries that were caused by the negligence of others. Whether you or a loved one sustained broken bones in a car accident or playing sports, we know that these types of injuries can be painful and often require costly medical attention.

Broken bones can also result in permanent injuries, limited mobility, pain and suffering, and mental anguish. Any accident that is caused by the negligence of others and results in broken bone injuries deserves the attention of a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer to make sure the injured party receives the right type of treatment and reimbursement for damages that can be pursued.

Different types of broken bones and fractures commonly occur in accidents, which is why it is crucial to have your injury diagnosed correctly by a qualified medical professional. Without proper treatment, the bone injury might heal the wrong way and result in long-term complications.

Our attorneys have helped clients of all backgrounds hold negligent parties accountable for the following types of broken bone injuries:

• Simple Fracture: This is a clean break, with little separation between the bones. Simple fractures are usually easier to treat than more complex breaks.
• Open Fracture: Also called a ‘compound fracture’, an open fracture occurs when the bone breaks and punctures the skin.
• Displaced Fracture: With this type of fracture, the bone cracks and pieces of it separate. Displaced fractures require surgery to properly repair.
• Non-Displaced Fracture: Unlike a displaced fracture, a non-displaced fracture is a bone crack in which the alignment remains intact.
• Stable Fractures: With a stable fracture, the bone’s structure remains largely in place. This allows for easier healing and a shorter recovery period.
• Linear Fractures: This type of fracture usually occurs in long bones like the arms and the legs. A linear fracture is a break that goes down the bone.
• Greenstick Fractures: Tith this type of fracture, the bone bends instead of breaking. Greenstick fractures are common in young children.
• Oblique Fractures: This type of fracture occurs with a slant or a curved angle, which can lead to complications during the healing process. Immediate medical attention and comprehensive rehabilitative treatment are crucial components of recovering from an oblique fracture.
• Transverse Fractures: This is a type of simple fracture that occurs at a right angle. Because transverse fractures are a clean break, they are generally one of the easiest to treat.
• Spiral Fractures: Spiral fractures break the bone in a twisting pattern and usually occur when a person gets their foot or hand caught in something or under something.
• Comminuted Fractures: This type of fracture occurs when a bone is broken at several different points of impact. It is usually referred to as the ‘shattering’ of a bone.
