Whenever a bone is broken in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, the victim can make a claim to recover monetary compensation for damages from the injury. The severity of the injury can vary from relatively minor to quite severe, but pain will be associated regardless of how bad the break is. Additional injury to muscles, blood vessels, nerves, organs and surrounding skin are frequent when bones are broken. If you suffered broken bones in Fontana, an experienced personal injury attorney can answer your questions and ensure that you are fairly compensated for your pain and suffering, injuries and lost time at work.
The most serious complications as a result of broken bones are:
Osteomyelitis is an infection of the bone or bone marrow. This condition causes inflammation of the bone due to infection. Osteomyelitis sometimes occurs as a complication of injury or surgery. In some cases, the infection may get into bone tissue from the bloodstream. Patients with osteomyelitis typically experience deep pain and muscle spasms in the inflammation area, as well as fever.
Osteonecrosis is a disease resulting from reduced blood flow to bones in the joints. With too little blood, the bone starts to die and may break down. Osteonecrosis is most often found in the shoulders, hips, knees and ankles. You may have osteonecrosis in one or more bones.
Oftentimes, a pulmonary embolism is caused by blood clots that travel from the legs or other parts of the body (deep vein thrombosis, or DVT).
