Understanding Broken Arms from Car Accidents

Injuries, Settlements, Compensation and Legal Assistance

A broken arm, also known as a fracture of the upper arm bone (humerus) or forearm bones(radius and ulna), is a common injury that can occur in a car accident. A broken arm can happen due to the impact of the airbag, dashboard, or door. The symptoms of a broken arm include severe pain, swelling, and difficulty using the arm. A broken arm can affect people's work, driving, and daily life, which can play a factor in determining the value of your settlement.

Compensation for broken arms depends on the circumstances of the accident and the severity of the injury. The average settlement for a broken arm is around $40,000 to $100,000 but can be much higher or lower depending on factors such as the degree of disability, the length of recovery time, and the number of medical expenses incurred. Factors that can affect the settlement amount include the severity of the injury, the degree of permanent disability, and the amount of lost wages. The degree of future earning potential also plays a role in determining the settlement amount.

Broken arms are a common injury that can occur from falls, sports injuries, or car accidents. Treatment options for a broken arm include a cast or splint to immobilize the broken bone, physical therapy to regain strength and range of motion, and in some cases, surgery. The specific bones in the arm that may be broken include the radius, ulna, or humerus. The recovery timeline for a broken arm can vary depending on the severity of the injury and the type of treatment, but it can take several weeks to several months for the bone to fully heal. Many are healed in 6 to 8 weeks.

In a car accident where you broke your arm, it is recommended that you consult with a lawyer. A lawyer can help to ensure that your medical expenses are covered and that you are fairly compensated for any lost wages or other damages. They can also help to determine if there are any additional parties that may be held liable for the accident and assist in negotiating a settlement or representing you in court. Additionally, a lawyer can help you to understand the specific laws and regulations related to car accidents in your state, which can be helpful in building a strong case.
