Broken Bone Injury Lawyers In Ontario

A fracture occurs when a bone breaks as a result of an impact from a car accident or slip and fall. People with bone-related disorders like weak bones and calcium deficiency are at higher risks of breaking a bone or sustaining a fracture if an injury occurs.

The different types of fractures are

• Open fracture – in this type the broken bone protrudes through the skin.
• Closed fracture –In a closed fracture, the bone doesn’t protrude from the skin.
• Commuted – when the bones splinter into multiple pieces.
• Greenstick – This type is common in children. In this type, only one part of the bone is affected while the other part is unharmed.

Common causes of fractures

While there are many causes of fractures like sports injuries and osteoporosis, the most common causes are motor vehicle accidents and slip and falls.

What are the symptoms of a fracture?

• Pain that gradually worsens
• Bruising and swelling in the affected area
• Function loss
• Inability to put weight on the affected area

A fracture is a painful injury that requires extensive treatment and rehabilitation. During the period of recovery, you may not be able to perform your duties at the workplace or even carry out routine tasks. In some cases, a fracture can lead to income loss and permanent disability.

The legal system in Canada understands the difficulties a person encounters after a fracture. This is why it has made a number of compensation options available to people who successfully file a claim

• Coverage for loss of income
• Coverage for medical expenses
• Monetary support for disability (permanent or partial)
• Physical therapy
• Coverage for special equipment

Note that when you combine all these expenses then it can add up to a significantly large amount. So, when you file a claim, the insurance companies will look for an out of court settlement for a small compensation that may not be sufficient to cover your expenses.

Remember while the courts do give you an option to claim compensation, it is your responsibility to prove your injury to the court.

What can you do to claim the best compensation for fracture injuries?

The first step is to choose the best personal injury lawyer to represent you. The lawyer should have solid experience in dealing with fracture cases. Your personal injury lawyer will take care of the necessary documentation and testimonials to prove the severity of your injury to the court. In cases like these, a lawyer will be aware of all the laws regarding the benefits extended to a person with a fracture so that the insurance companies don’t trick you into settling for an unfairly small amount.

The need for the best lawyer to argue your cases increases when the cause of the injury is the negligence of a third party. Here the third party will try to get your claim disproved because they would face legal consequences otherwise. With an expert lawyer representing you, the defendant or insurance company lawyers will realize that they can’t use bullying tactics but will have to arrive at a fair settlement.
