Broken Bones

Helping injured workers get the benefits they need

Workplace accidents happen all the time in Mississippi, and broken bones are a common type of on-the-job injury. These painful injuries can limit the mobility of workers, leaving them unable to do their job for some time. The income stops coming in, but the bills don’t. A workers’ compensation attorney at Tabor Law Firm, P.A. can help injured workers successfully navigate the claims process.

Bones can be broken from a car or truck crash, slip and fall accident, falling object or fall from a height. Some jobs have a higher risk of broken bones – including construction, manufacturing and trucking. But a broken bone can happen in any accident at any workplace. Such injuries can leave workers in pain and temporarily disabled.

Even a seemingly minor fracture can have major consequences

Common bones broken in workplace accidents include bones in the arm, wrist, hip, ankle and collarbone. Treatment often involves setting the broken bone and immobilizing it with a cast or brace. In some cases, surgery may be needed to implant screws or pins. Recovering from a broken bone can take weeks or months to heal.

In the meantime, the injured worker is faced with medical bills and less income coming in. Workers’ compensation benefits pay for all reasonable and necessary medical treatments and also provides partial wages while the worker is temporarily disabled. But the claims process can be confusing and frustrating. Employers and insurance companies often challenge benefits and pressure injured workers into returning to the job before they are fully healed.
