After a Hip Injury, Contact an Experienced Personal Injury Attorney
A hip injury is no minor matter. A fractured hip may mean hospitalization, immobility, surgery, risk of embolism after surgery, a lengthy recovery, long-term care needs, an extended absence from work, ongoing pain, possible hip replacement and possibly, premature death — especially in the case of an older accident victim. Studies have shown a correlation between hip fracture and mortality within a year in older people.*
You or your loved one may have suffered a hip injury in one of the following ways:
- In a car accident
- In a slip and fall in a supermarket/grocery store
- In a slip and fall on ice
- In a fall in a nursing home
When someone else's negligence was a factor in a hip injury, a trusted personal injury attorney can be an invaluable ally and advocate. The sooner an investigation is undertaken into the circumstances behind the accident, the more likely it is that any evidence of negligence on the part of some other person or entity will be discovered and preserved.
Did you break your hip because you tripped on a cracked sidewalk, were involved in a motorcycle crash or fell on the job? You may have a workers' compensation claim if the injury happened at work. In addition, you may have a third-party liability claim against a subcontractor or someone else other than your employer.
