Broken Bone Injuries from Auto Accidents

Georgia Broken Bone Accident Attorney

Broken Bones Deserve Serious Compensation

The violent force of a car accident can fracture virtually any bone in the body. From simple fractures that heal with a cast to compound fractures requiring surgical repair with plates, screws, and rods, broken bone injuries can dramatically impact your life for months or even permanently. Under Georgia's personal injury laws (O.C.G.A. § 51-1-6), you are entitled to full compensation when another driver's negligence causes your injuries.

Broken bones in auto accidents are often accompanied by additional injuries — torn ligaments, nerve damage, internal bleeding, and soft tissue injuries that complicate treatment and recovery. Insurance companies may try to settle quickly for a lowball amount before the full extent of your injuries is known. Attorney Jonathan Overman never settles until maximum medical improvement is reached and the true cost of your injuries is clear.

Certain fractures carry long-term consequences that must be factored into any settlement. Fractures near joints can lead to post-traumatic arthritis. Growth plate fractures in children can affect bone development. Pelvic and hip fractures in older adults can cause permanent mobility limitations. Georgia's statute of limitations (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33) gives you just two years to file a personal injury claim, so it is critical to act promptly.

Overbird Law works with orthopedic surgeons, radiologists, and rehabilitation specialists to fully document the severity and long-term impact of your fracture injuries. We fight for compensation that covers surgical costs, physical therapy, lost income, diminished earning capacity, and the pain and suffering you endure throughout your recovery.
