Orthopedic Injuries And Surgeries

Attorneys Advocating For Orthopedic Injury Victims

If you have suffered a broken bone or joint injury, your mobility will be limited for weeks or months. When surgery is required to correct the problem, your recovery may be even longer. You may be unable to return to work, care for your family or perform daily tasks by yourself. Individuals who suffer fractures or other orthopedic injuries may be entitled to compensation from the person or parties responsible for their injuries. Cerchione Hurowitz Law Group LLP has been fighting for the rights of personal injury victims since 1954. We have the experience to recover the damages you need to heal from your injury and pay your medical bills.

Compensation For Pain, Disability And Medical Expenses

A broken bone can take at least three to six months to heal. The older we get, the longer our bones take to heal from a fracture. A child may be healed in two months while an older adult may need medical treatment for a year or more. In severe cases, the broken bones never heal completely, leaving the patient with a lifetime of pain and instability.

Fractures may be classified as stable, displaced, spiral, comminuted, transverse, oblique, open or compound. Depending on the type and severity of the fracture, surgical remedies may be necessary. This can include options such as:

• Open reduction
• Intramedullary fixation — a rod that is placed through the bone
• Surgical pins, plates and screws
• External fixation
• Joint replacement
• Bone graft

We represent people with fractures of the collarbone, shoulder blade, back or neck vertebrae, forearm, wrist, upper arm, elbow, pelvis, hip, thigh, kneecap and lower leg. Our New York orthopedic injury lawyers will argue for full and fair compensation for your injury and all costs associated with it.
