Broken Bones & Internal Injury
Motor vehicle accidents, work accidents, auto defect accidents, slip and fall accidents and pedestrian accidents can all cause broken bones and internal injuries. Broken bones can be considered catastrophic injuries if there are multiple fractures or compound fractures, and internal injuries are catastrophic if they result in major organ damage or death. These types of injuries are some of the most common catastrophic injuries seen in Colorado personal injury cases, and a dedicated personal injury attorney like the lawyers at O’Connell Law Firm, P.C., will be able to help victims of negligence get compensated for their injuries.
Colorado Personal Injury Law Regarding Broken Bones & Internal Injury
When catastrophic injuries like broken bones or internal damage are caused by the negligence or recklessness of a driver or Colorado property owner, a seasoned personal injury attorney can make sure that they pay for medical bills or damages related to these injuries. Property owners who cause injuries of these types are responsible under premises liability laws if the injured party was not trespassing, and dog owners are responsible under similar circumstances if a dog bite causes a broken bone or internal injury.
Accidents That Cause Internal Injuries and Broken Bones
Broken bones and internal injuries like damaged organs can be caused by any impact to the body that can occur during a car accident or a bad fall. A Colorado personal injury attorney will help you document your injuries and show that they were the result of your accident.
- Slip & Fall Accidents: A fall will often cause catastrophic injuries like broken bones. The impact can also damage muscles or cause injury to internal organs.
- Motor Vehicle Accidents: Many different kinds of auto accidents such as rollover accidents, rear end collisions or motorcycle accidents can cause internal injuries and broken bones because the impact of a crash can jar the body. While seat belts often save lives, they will also cause internal injuries during a car accident as well.
- Dog Bites and Animal Attacks: The force of dog’s bite can easily break bones, and sharp teeth can break the skin and cause muscle damage.
- Recreational Accidents: Falling from a horse or a ski lift can also cause broken bones or internal injury.
- Work-Related Accidents: Accidents that happen at work like equipment malfunction or falls can also break bones or cause internal injuries.
