A Bronx Hip Injury Attorney will get you the settlement you need and deserve. Call Feiner & Lavy today!
One of the more common joints in the body to be injured in a fall is the hip. These happen every day in New York City and throughout America, and it can lead to tremendous problems for people who are hurt through no fault of their own.
Looking out for people who are injured in such accidents is a job the Bronx personal injury law firm of Feiner & Lavy takes seriously. We know the facts, and the outcomes for broken or fractured or torn hips are not encouraging, especially for the elderly.
According to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about one-percent of all falls among the elderly will result in hip fractures, leading to around 300,000 fall victims requiring expensive medical treatment. Fractures of the hip for the elderly pose a significant risk for the long-term health of the victim, and often result not only in a loss of mobility, but also the loss of their independence and a shorter lifespan. Many times, an elderly victim needs to be moved to a nursing home because of the fall and its aftermath, and this put a strain on the victim, their families, and their finances.
The elderly is the group that receives the most focus, but there are problems facing younger slip and fall victims who suffer a hip injury. Rehabilitating an injury of this nature can take time, hip replacement is a possibility, and there can be long-term damaging effects to someone’s life as a result.
We’ve written before about how hard surfaces like cement and wood are very unforgiving when a person falls. When you strike the floor and there’s no give, your body will suffer the worst results of that impact. And for the elderly, who can have bone density issues, the chances of a bone in an essential joint like the hip breaking can lead to catastrophic results.
In the Bronx, where stairs leading to apartments are very common, it can mean you could have to move to a single-level apartment or to a nursing home. The expenses can be as crippling as the break to your hip.
The worst part of these scenarios – and as a Bronx personal injury law firm, we see these every day – is that these accidents very often happen through no fault of the person injured. Someone else’s negligence led to a situation where someone was going to suffer an injury due to a slip and fall or trip and fall accident. This is the person who should bear not only the responsibility, but also the cost burden for rehabilitation, lost wages and pain and suffering.
This isn’t compensation that is a gift. This is how the legal system can tabulate an equivalency for the pain and suffering you’ve been through as a result of someone else’s negligence.
This is why we fight for your injury. We will be your defenders in dealing with insurance companies and lawyers representing the negligent party and we will hold them responsible.
