Frequently Asked Questions About Broken Bone Injury Claims
How do I prove negligence in a broken bone injury case?
To establish negligence, we must demonstrate that the responsible party owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused your injury. This often involves collecting evidence such as witness statements, accident reports, and medical records.
Can I still file a claim if I had a pre-existing bone condition?
Yes, you can. If an accident aggravated a pre-existing condition, you may still be eligible for compensation. We’ll need to show that the accident significantly worsened your condition.
What if my injury prevents me from returning to work?
If your injury impacts your ability to work long-term, we will seek compensation for future lost wages and diminished earning capacity. We may involve vocational experts to support your claim.
How long do I have to file a broken bone injury claim?
The statute of limitations varies by state, but typically ranges from one to three years. It’s crucial to act promptly to ensure your claim is filed within the legal time frame.
What happens if the insurance company offers a quick settlement?
Insurance companies often offer low settlements in the hopes of closing the case quickly. Before accepting any offer, consult with a lawyer to ensure it covers all your current and future expenses.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
At PCLC, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay if we win your case. There are no upfront costs, so you can pursue justice without financial stress.
