A broken leg can stop your life in its tracks! Call Feiner & Lavy today to see if you are due a settlement. 212-393-9130
One minute you’re walking along and the next minute you’re in pain, grabbing your leg on the ground.
This is a story we hear often in the law offices of Feiner & Lavy. Clients call us and ask if we can come to them because they had a fall that was no fault of their own, and the broken leg they suffered is requiring them to stay at home and not use their leg. These clients are frustrated, hurt and, often, angry.
We understand the range of emotions, and we are very sympathetic. It is wrong that people are hurt through no fault of their own, and we will fight hard to get our clients the greatest settlement for two reasons: first, our clients need the money; second, there is a degree of justice in having someone whose negligence hurt our client pay.
Broken bones are painful, but kinds bring a special level of pain. Compound and spiral fractures are two we know that are agonizing. A compound or open fracture occurs when a bone breaks and it is sticking through the skin. A spiral fracture happens when one of your bones is broken in a twisting motion, like if your foot got caught in a hole in a parking lot when you were turning to look in another direction. When fractures like these happen to your tibia, fibula or femur, the recovery time can be months and may require surgery to reconnect the bones using screws and plates. And after you have spent months healing, you leg will be weak, and you will need physical therapy to begin moving normally again.
Accidents that result in a broken leg could happen anywhere. You could slip and fall on some unevenly spaced steps or on an icy or otherwise slippery sidewalk, while walking to a car in a poorly lit parking lot, while at a drugstore or supermarket. It doesn’t really matter where it happened, only that it did happen. It’s important for you to try to remember all the details possible when you suffer a slip and fall or trip and fall, and if you can take pictures or notice video cameras, it can be very helpful.
During those months, you may have lost wages because you can’t work, incurred big out-of-pocket medical expenses, needed special help around your home, and not been able to participate in your favorite activities. There is a list of things that have impacted or otherwise affected your life in a negative way. You didn’t do this to yourself, and a few bucks to cover lost wages and some medical expenses is simply unfair to you when your injury was someone else’s fault.
