Broken Bones from Car Accidents

Almost every car accident is a frightening experience. Even smaller accidents can cause damage, but it's the more serious crashes, such as side-impact crashes and head-on collisions, that can result in severe injuries like broken bones. Medical procedures involved with broken bones can include X-Rays, resetting of the bone, casting, pins, screws, and/or surgery. Such procedures do not come cheap. If you are not compensated for your injury by the guilty party or by your insurance, you may end up having to pay for the bills out of your own pocket.

There are many types of broken bones. All broken bones fall into one of two categories: Simple or compound. Compound fractures puncture the victim's skin, whereas simple breaks remain hidden beneath the skin. The severity of a fracture depends on the location of the break, type of fracture and other factors. Generally speaking, compound fractures are more dangerous than simple breaks because the open wound placed the victim at risk of developing an infection.

Although broken bones are relatively common injuries, they can be very severe. Serious breaks must be treated promptly and carefully. If not handled correctly, bone fractures can cause damage to blood vessels and nerves near the injury. Depending on the age of the victim and the severity of the brake, broken bones may heal in a matter of weeks. Unless the injury is very serious, children heal very quickly. Older victims or individuals suffering from severe fractures may take months to heal.
