Don't let bone fractures from a car accident control your life. At Pittman Law Firm, we see countless victims struggling with fractures that range from simple breaks to devastating injuries requiring months of medical care and rehabilitation.

Let us guide you through everything you need to know about car accident fractures. From getting proper medical care to understanding your treatment options, we'll help you navigate the road to recovery. Our 30 years of experience handling car accident cases means we know exactly what it takes to protect your rights while you focus on healing.

- Proven rehabilitation strategies
- Steps to maximize your recovery
The Hidden Dangers of Impact Forces in Car Accidents
Car accidents create devastating forces that can shatter bones and change lives in an instant. Our decades of experience handling accident cases has shown us how even seemingly minor collisions at 45 mph can generate massive impact forces that transform safety features into potential sources of injury.
Understanding How Different Crashes Affect Your Body
The type of collision dramatically influences the pattern of bone fractures you might suffer:
Frontal collisions violently throw your body forward, often breaking ankles, knees, and hips
- Side impacts frequently crush pelvic bones and ribs
- Rear-end crashes can snap your neck forward when headrests aren't properly adjusted
Where Most Fractures Happen Inside Your Vehicle
Through years of representing accident victims, we've identified the most dangerous impact points:
- Dashboard impacts crushing hips and causing dislocations
- Steering wheel trauma leading to chest and sternum fractures
- Door intrusions breaking arms and pelvis during side crashes
- Footwell collapse crushing ankles and feet, especially dangerous for shorter drivers
How Modern Safety Features Protect You
While we fight for victims after accidents happen, we also want you to understand how to protect yourself. Today's safety technology significantly reduces fracture risks when properly used:
- Correctly worn seatbelts cut death and serious injury risk by 45%
- Front airbags have protected over 50,000 lives in three decades
- Side airbags deploy faster to shield you from direct impacts
The faster you're traveling, the greater your risk becomes. Studies show crash forces can hit you like 5,500 pounds of bricks, even with a seatbelt. Your seating position matters too - front passengers often face higher injury risks in collisions.
Critical Diagnostic Steps After Your Car Accident
Don't let hidden fractures go undetected. Our 30 years of experience handling car accident cases has taught us that proper diagnosis makes the difference between full recovery and lasting complications.
Modern Technology Reveals Hidden Injuries
Medical science now offers powerful tools to identify even the most challenging fractures:
- CT Scanning: Creates detailed 3D views of fractures, internal bleeding, and organ damage
- MRI Technology: Reveals soft tissue trauma and subtle brain injuries from the accident
- Advanced Bone Scans: Detects fracture signs within hours of your injury
What Happens When You Reach The Emergency Room?
The moment you arrive, medical teams spring into action with proven protocols to protect your health. Studies show approximately 20% of suspected fractures need advanced imaging beyond X-rays for accurate diagnosis. When internal injuries are possible, doctors often start with ultrasound screening, which can find as little as 100ml of internal fluid with remarkable accuracy (65-95% sensitivity).
Warning Signs You Can't Ignore
We've seen how early detection prevents devastating complications. While most fractures heal normally, certain factors raise your risk:
- Diabetes
- Regular use of NSAIDs
- Recent car accidents
Watch for these critical warning signs:
- Ongoing pain that won't subside
- Unusual drainage from injury sites
- Fever development
- Swelling that persists
Breakthrough Treatment Methods That Get Results
Medical science has revolutionized fracture treatment, and our team stays current with every advancement to help our clients recover faster. Through 30 years of representing accident victims, we've seen remarkable improvements in treatment success rates using these modern approaches.
Advanced Surgical Options That Speed Recovery
When surgery becomes necessary, minimally invasive procedures dramatically improve your chances for successful healing.
- 60% faster recovery times
- Significantly less post-operative pain
- Reduced infection risk
- Shorter hospital stays
Your surgeon can now use precision techniques for internal bracing that maintain perfect alignment while you heal.

- Create lightweight, breathable support
- Let your shower and swim normally
- Work with electrical stimulation to speed healing

Managing Your Pain Effectively
