Why You Need a Lawyer

When it comes to compensation for car accident claims, Pennsylvania’s rule of modified comparative negligence will be applied when determining the amount of damages you’re entitled to recover. Under this law, you cannot recover compensation if you are 51% or more at fault for your accident, and any percentage of liability below 51% will lower your payment.

To avoid a situation where your compensation is unfairly reduced or eliminated, you need an experienced lawyer on your side. Insurance companies are for-profit businesses that often place fault on victims to avoid or lower their payments on valid claims. Working with a broken bone car accident lawyer in Philadelphia that can build a strong case on your behalf can help minimize the amount of fault attributed to your actions in the accident and maximize your settlement.

Broken Bones in Philadelphia Car Accidents

Any bone in the body can essentially be fractured or broken as a result of a car accident, but some of the most commonly susceptible bones include:

• Vertebrae in the spine
• Neckbones
• The femur
• The collarbone
• The pelvis
• Ribs
• Bones in the sternum
• Bones in the skull
• Bones in the neck
• Bones in the ankles

The crash’s impact typically causes the breaks or fractures by the body being thrown or hit with external objects. Surgery or a cast is often required to facilitate healing. You may also require prescription medications, physical therapy, and other ongoing treatment to cope with the damage. In severe cases, victims will face a lifetime of pain and impairment.

Compensation for Fractures and Broken Bones From a Car Accident

When another driver’s negligence is responsible for your fracture or broken bone injury, you have the right to pursue compensation for your:

• Medical costs, including your past, current, and future bills
• Income lost during your recovery period
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress and psychological harm
• Scarring or disfigurement as a result of the fracture
• Physical limitations as a result of the fracture
• Loss of earning capacity as a result of physical limitations
• Disability, disfigurement, and the inability to lead a normal life

If the at-fault party’s actions were extremely reckless (e.g., drunk driving), you may be entitled to punitive damages, which is compensation awarded with the intention to punish the defendant.
