Insurance companies often treat a broken bone as a straightforward injury with a clear end date, set it, heal it, move on. In reality, a fracture can mean surgery, hardware, months of physical therapy, and pain that lingers well after a cast comes off.
Every part of that treatment adds to what your case is actually worth, and it only counts if it's properly documented. Missed work, follow up appointments, and ongoing therapy all matter, which is why staying consistent with treatment and keeping thorough records makes a real difference in the outcome of a claim.
VanWa Legal PLLC represents injury victims across Vancouver and Clark County, and we make sure a fracture is valued for the full recovery it actually demands, not the short version an insurer would prefer.
Common Causes
Common Types
Common in falls and crashes where a person instinctively puts out their hands to brace for impact.
Frequently caused by the direct force of a vehicle collision or a serious fall, often requiring extended time off your feet.
Serious fractures that can significantly limit mobility and independence, particularly during a long recovery.
Painful fractures that can also signal deeper injury to organs beneath the ribs.
Fractures that can require reconstructive surgery and carry both physical and cosmetic impact.
Fractures to the bones of the spine that range from stable injuries to ones requiring surgical stabilization.
Fractures where the bone breaks through the skin, carrying a higher risk of infection and typically requiring surgery.
Severe fractures caused by a heavy or crushing force, often involving damage to surrounding tissue as well as the bone itself.
When Surgery Is Required
Many serious fractures require surgical repair, often involving plates, screws, pins, or rods to hold the bone in place while it heals. A procedure called open reduction internal fixation is common for fractures that cannot heal properly with a cast alone.
Surgery is not always the end of treatment either. Follow up procedures, infection risk, and scar tissue can all extend recovery well beyond the initial operation, and physical therapy is often necessary to regain strength and range of motion. Long term pain can persist even after the bone itself has fully healed.
