Far too many people underestimate a broken bone and dismiss it as a mere inconvenience. In reality, bone fractures are severe and painful injuries that can be life-changing. People who suffer bone fractures often face serious consequences including chronic pain, loss of mobility, loss of independence, lost wages, extended medical treatment, permanent partial disability and staggering medical bills.

A fracture is a medical condition in which a bone is cracked or broken, typically due to a high-force impact or stress. The adult human skeleton consists of 206 bones. Did you know that more than half of your bones are located in your hands and feet? Thus, it should come as no surprise that common bone injuries include fractures of the feet, ankles, fingers or wrists. Other serious injury sites are fractures of the neck, vertebrae, hip, pelvis, collar bone, arm bones and leg bones.

There are many kinds of bone fractures:

  • Closed – a fracture under the skin
  • Open – a fracture when the bone is in contact with the air either from piercing the skin or from severe tissue injury.
  • Simple – a fracture that occurs along one line, splitting the bone into two pieces
  • Multi-fragmentary – a fracture that involves the bone splitting into multiple pieces
  • Complete – a fracture in which bone fragments separate completely
  • Incomplete – a fracture in which bone fragments are still partially joined
  • Compact – a fracture in which bone fragments are driven into each other
  • Compression – a fracture in which a vertebra in the spine is compressed

Recovery from the more serious types of fractures may require multiple corrective surgeries or extensive physical therapy.

Bone fractures are often among the more painful outcomes of personal injuries. Those injuries may arise in a variety of settings, including:

If you have suffered a bone fracture because of someone else’s negligent or wrongful actions, you should not accept a quick insurance settlement as it may be weeks or months before the true extent and costs of your fracture are known.
