Unfortunately, many car accidents, bicycle accidents and pedestrian accidents result in broken bones. Serious fractures are far more likely to result from these types of accidents than other forms of accidents like falls.
The reason is that the forces that act on the body during a car accident, for example, are extreme. In accidents between cars and bicycles, for the cyclist, you can multiply those forces several times. For pedestrian accidents, multiply those forces several times again.
Many types, and sometimes surprising types, of fractures might result from a car crash or other accident on the road. Sarah Nelson Law handles all types of broken bone injury claims resulting from car accidents in Portland and throughout Oregon:

Broken bones after a car accident can be a challenge for the victim, both in terms of physical recovery and in terms of a monetary recovery. Broken bone car accidents often require surgery. The healing and rehabilitation time can complicate the process of dealing with the insurance company after an accident. Oftentimes, they know more than you. Where you think that you are healed and the insurance company's offer is fair, there may be lasting effects or a chance of future surgery or loss of motion that should be taken into account when settling your claim.
If you have been injured in a car accident, bicycle accident or pedestrian accident and have suffered a broken bone, you need an advocate who knows the system and who knows how to maximize your monetary recovery while you focus on your physical recovery.
