In San Antonio, broken bones cases often trace back to conditions on I-35 and near I-35 and I-10 interchange (downtown San Antonio). Local drivers and pedestrians encounter these specific risks when navigating these corridors.
- Motor vehicle accidents involving high force impacts
- Falls on uneven surfaces or from heights

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
For broken bones claims filed in Bexar, liability often turns on evidence gathered from specific San Antonio locations, including I-35 and I-10 interchange (downtown San Antonio).
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
Residents of San Antonio pursue these claims under the same Texas statutes that govern all state personal injury actions.
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.
