Broken and fractured bones are considered serious injuries in personal injury cases
A personal injury accident resulting in a plaintiff sustaining broken bones or fractures is considered a severe injury, especially if they involve the plaintiff’s leg and particularly if it involves the fibula or tibia bones.
Multiple breaks or fractures of the same bone or connecting bone will have a compounding effect on the person’s balance, stability, and gait.
Therefore, the plaintiff in a personal injury case will likely receive substantial compensation for such injuries, especially if the injury is permanently disabling.
