San Francisco Broken Bone Injury Lawyers

Broken bones are a common injury following a serious accident. If you have broken a bone in an accident that was somebody else's fault, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries from the responsible party. The San Francisco accident attorneys at Estey Bomberger have successfully handled personal injury claims stemming from all kinds of bone fractures, including femur fractures, tibia fractures, fibula fractures, trimalleor ankle fractures, humerus fractures, pelvis fractures, vertebra fractures, clavicle fractures, skull fractures, and virtually all other bone fractures. From our experience, we understand the way injuries affect victims, the type of treatment and physical therapy that bone fracture victims need, and the financial costs of broken bones.

Types of Bone Fractures

Bone fractures vary widely in severity, depending on the bone injured and the type of break. Some broken bones are relatively minor, while others may be catastrophic and life-changing, especially when combined with other serious injuries. For example, skull fracture patients often have an accompanying traumatic brain injury. At Estey Bomberger, our San Francisco broken bone injury lawyers have represented accident victims with virtually every type of bone fracture, including:

Closed fracture - A bone fracture that does not penetrate the skin.
Comminuted fracture - A bone fracture in which the bone is splintered or crushed.
Compacted fracture - A bone fracture caused by bone fragments being driven into each other.
Complete fracture - A bone fracture involving the entire width of the bone.
Open fracture - A broken bone that goes through the skin. Also called a compound fracture.
Compression fracture - The collapse of a vertebra in the spine.
Incomplete fracture - A bone fracture in which parts of the bone are still joined.
Linear fracture - A fracture parallel to the length of the one.
Oblique fracture - A fracture in which the line of break runs obliquely to the axis of the bone.
Spiral fracture - A bone fracture in which the bone is twisted apart.
Transverse fracture - A fracture that is at a right angle to the bone's long axis.

If you have been injured in an accident and you suspect a possible bone fracture, seek medical treatment right away. Depending on the location and severity of the fracture, you may need surgery to secure the bone in place and/or immobilization with a cast, splint, brace or sling. The healing time for a bone fracture can vary, from several weeks to several months, depending on the type and location of the injury.
