Personal Injury

Some fractures heal cleanly. Others leave permanent hardware, limited range of motion, or chronic pain that never fully resolves. That difference matters legally, not just medically: the severity of a fracture shapes what medical testimony your case needs, how future care gets valued, and what a claim is realistically worth. We build the record around the actual course of your injury rather than the version an adjuster assembles from a few billing codes.

Lead attorney on every case we take, backed by a dedicated legal team you work with directly.

How the fracture happened drives how we handle it. A break from a car crash runs through the at-fault driver's insurer and your own coverage. A break at work runs through workers' compensation, which in Pennsylvania is required of most employers and generally bars a direct suit against your employer, though a negligent third party on the job site can still be pursued. A break from an assault is a claim against the person responsible. We sort out which avenues are open before anyone signs anything.

Your own insurer may cover medical bills, but it will not pay you for lost wages, pain and suffering, or the household help you needed while you could not use an arm or walk on a leg. Recovering that means a claim against the responsible party's insurer or a suit against the wrongdoer directly. Both Pennsylvania and New Jersey generally give you two years from the date of injury. You're matched with a lead attorney and a dedicated legal team, so the claim keeps moving while you focus on healing.

Frequently Asked

Bone Fracture Lawyers: Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sue if I broke a bone at work?

Most Pennsylvania employers are required to carry workers' compensation, which usually means you cannot sue your employer directly but are entitled to benefits through that system. Depending on your union or employment agreement, and on whether a third party contributed, other claims may also be available. It is worth having someone review the specifics.

Can I sue someone for breaking my nose in an assault?

Yes. If you were injured in an assault, you can pursue the person responsible in a civil claim for financial compensation, separately from any criminal case the district attorney brings. The two proceed independently and a criminal outcome does not control your civil claim.

What is a fractured bone claim actually worth?

There is no table that answers that. Value depends on which bone, whether surgery or hardware was required, how much work you missed, whether the injury left a permanent limitation, and how clearly fault can be proven. We evaluate those factors in a free case review rather than quoting a number before we have seen the facts.

Should I talk to the other side's insurance company?

Speak with your own insurer first and be careful with anyone else's. The other party's adjuster is not working for you, and recorded statements taken early, before the full extent of a fracture is known, are frequently used later to argue the injury was minor.

How long does a bone fracture case take?

It varies widely. Some resolve through negotiation in months. A case that goes through discovery, depositions, and trial can run considerably longer depending on the complexity of the medical issues and the court's schedule. We keep you informed at each stage rather than leaving you to wonder.

Do I need a lawyer, or can I handle the claim myself?

You are allowed to represent yourself in a civil case. There is no right to appointed counsel the way there is in a criminal matter. But the process involves discovery, depositions under oath, and an insurer whose business model depends on paying as little as possible, which is why most people choose to have an attorney handle it.

What does it cost to hire you for a fracture case?

We handle injury cases on a contingency fee. We front the costs of investigating and building the claim, and we are paid out of a recovery rather than billing you along the way.

How much is a broken finger worth in a lawsuit?

It depends on the finger. If you lost a thumb in a work accident your case could be worth as much as $250,000. If you lost another one of your fingers your case may also be extremely valuable.

What Does A Bone Fracture Case Look Like?

Once the injury takes place, the injured party, or the plaintiff, makes the decision to file a lawsuit. You could file and handle the case by yourself, or pro se. Unlike a criminal trial, you do not have a right to an attorney. For civil cases, you make the choice to bring one. Due to the complexities of the law, it is, therefore, advisable to get an attorney to handle your case. An experienced legal team will have the knowledge and expertise to handle personal injury cases to maximize your recovery. Once a court dockets the case, the trial process will start. There is a period of discovery where you will likely give a deposition to the opposing side or defendants. The deposition process is under the penalty of perjury, but your lawyer will be present during it. The parties exchange documents and information, and a court date is set. After the parties hash out initial issues in front of the judge, the case comes before a jury of your peers. Some parties opt for a trial before a judge, so prepare yourself that this could happen. The civil process is hard to understand, especially if you have never been through it before. This is just a general overview of the trial process. The entire process from inception to the verdict can take a number of years depending on legal complexities, so keep that in mind. Also, keep in mind that the accident lawyers at Freundlich & Littman will be at your side the entire time. We fight hard for our clients and want to make sure they understand the process every step of the way.
