Compensation for Hip (Pelvic) Fractures
Fractures of the hip (pelvis) are most commonly associated with motor vehicle accidents and falling accidents. Younger patients usually suffer hip fractures in automobile accidents. Older patients are typically injured because of a fall. Generally speaking, the younger the patient, the better the chance for a full recovery. That said, hip fractures can have serious and even deadly complications.
In the most serious cases, the organs protected by the pelvic bones can be injured when the hip breaks. This can cause embolisms, internal hemorrhaging, or ruptured organs — all of which can be deadly. Even when there are no internal injures, patients may never recover the mobility they once had.
