Orthopedic Injuries


Orthopedics is the branch of medicine specializing in the care of the skeletal system and its connecting parts. Orthopedic injuries involve injuries or fractures to bones or other parts of the musculoskeletal system, including joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. These injuries typically result from accidents or physical trauma.
Orthopedic injuries often require surgery and can lead to temporary disability or more serious consequences. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent and may require a full physical examination to determine their full extent. It’s important for victims or their family members to be proactive and consult with an orthopedic injury lawyer promptly.
Common orthopedic injuries include meniscus tears, carpal tunnel syndrome, rotator cuff injuries, plantar fasciitis, traumatic brain injuries, ACL tears, tennis elbow, ankle and foot sprains, shoulder injuries and dislocations, stress fractures, wrist fractures, and knee injuries.
Orthopedic injuries can occur in various settings, including workplaces which are covered by workers’ compensation laws. Common causes of orthopedic injuries include motor vehicle accidents, motorcycle accidents, airplane accidents, pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents, and train or subway accidents.
Compensation for orthopedic injuries may cover various damages, including present and future medical costs, physical therapy, property replacement, emotional distress, psychological counseling, lost wages, and non-economic damages affecting loved ones.
