A clean break that heals fully differs greatly from a comminuted or compound fracture requiring surgery, hardware, and months of rehabilitation. Some fractures cause permanent loss of motion, chronic pain, or post-traumatic arthritis.
Not All Fractures Are Equal
Injuries requiring plates, screws, or joint replacement carry higher value because of the surgery, recovery, and lasting effects.
Documenting the Full Impact
X-rays, surgical records, physical-therapy notes, and evidence of lasting limitations all support a fracture claim. Lost wages during recovery and any permanent impairment add to the value.
Insurers may treat fractures as routine; thorough documentation counters that.
