The aftermath of a Fort Lauderdale auto accident can be both frightening and painful. Broken bone injuries are generally noticed right away, as victims of car accidents can feel the pain and typically see their bones out of place. Breaking bones can be a very painful injury to incur and medical attention should be sought immediately.
Typically, when a victim of a car crash in South Florida breaks a bone, there may be other injuries that resulted and are sometimes hard to see without medical tests. These may include torn ligaments, back and neck injuries, dislocations, internal bleeding, and more.
Sometimes broken bones can heal on their own by the use of a sling or cast, with very little movement. Other times, surgery is required to repair the broken bone, often requiring a plate to be installed to secure and stabilize the injured area. Your doctor will advise you of your treatment options, according to your specific bone break location.
When a broken bone occurs in a Florida car crash, victims cannot return to work right away due to the pain and recovery time. Because of this, victims may need compensation for their time away from work and their lost wages.
