Understanding Broken Bones Cases

Common Causes

  • Motor vehicle accidents involving high force impacts
  • Falls on uneven surfaces or from heights
  • Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
  • Sports and recreational activities
  • Workplace accidents with heavy equipment
  • Physical assaults and acts of violence

Typical Injuries

  • Compound fractures where bone penetrates the skin
  • Comminuted fractures where bone shatters into multiple pieces
  • Pelvic and hip fractures requiring surgical hardware
  • Wrist and forearm fractures from bracing during falls
  • Tibial plateau fractures affecting knee function
  • Non union or malunion fractures requiring additional surgery

Establishing Liability

Broken bone injuries are well documented through X rays and CT scans, providing clear objective evidence of injury. The key liability question is establishing that the defendant negligence caused the accident that produced the fracture. When fractures require surgical fixation with plates, screws, or rods, the medical expenses and recovery time increase substantially, supporting higher damage awards.

Relevant Texas Law

Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code allows recovery of all medical expenses for fracture treatment, including emergency care, orthopedic surgery, hardware implantation, and physical therapy. Loss of earning capacity during the recovery period and any permanent impairment are also recoverable under Texas law. When a fracture leads to early onset arthritis or permanent hardware in the body, future medical expense claims may include anticipated joint replacement surgery.
