Sometimes all it takes to treat a broken bone is a cast. More complicated fractures can require surgery. No matter what the case, if you have suffered one broken bone or multiple fractures in an accident, talk to our law firm about a personal injury claim.
- Medical treatment comes first: In a car accident, truck accident, motorcycle accident or any other accident, your first concern is medical treatment. Only a proper medical exam can determine the extent of your injuries. As your personal injury lawyers, we will stay aware of your medical treatment.
- Which insurance policy pays? In Missouri, your health insurance is the first source of payment. In Kansas, your car insurance PIP (personal injury protection) must be exhausted before your health insurance pays. If you have questions about insurance coverage or if you do not have health insurance, let us know.
- Assessing the extent of necessary treatment: Treatment varies in complexity and the time it takes to heal. Sometimes, six weeks in a cast is sufficient. Other cases can require surgery, metal plates, screws, rods and/or balls. A fracture can result in additional problems such as an infection, internal scar tissue and continuing, severe pain. It is important to work with a personal injury lawyer who understands the medical issues.
- Settlement issues: You need to know the full extent of your injuries before you arrive at a settlement, including lost wages, resulting disabilities, your need for further medical treatment, and the extent of the pain and suffering caused by your injury. Do not feel pressured to settle too soon. Our law firm will help you determine the right settlement amount.
Tell us about all of your accident injuries. Make sure your personal injury claim includes every injury and takes into account current and future medical needs.
