Broken Bones and Amputated Limbs

Everyone knows what a broken bone is, but what everyone does not know is that a severe broken bone could cost you over a hundred thousand dollars in medical bills. When hospital stays and surgeries are required medical expenses can be astronomical. If you do not have insurance these bills are basically impossible to pay. Even if you do have insurance the out-of-pocket expenses can be in tens of thousands of dollars. If you or a loved one broke a bone in a car accident that was someone else's fault their insurance company may have to pay all of these bills and expenses.

Common Broken Bones

In no specific order here are some of the most common broken bones from car accidents:

1. Arm Fractures – Arm fractures are common as people often hold their arms out.
2. Tibia and Fibula Fracture – Broken legs are common when a car buckles in the front and or one is thrown from a motorcycle.
