Los Angeles Orthopedic Injury Lawyer

If you were involved in an accident that left you with an orthopedic injury, you might be entitled to financial compensation for your pain and suffering and debt-free medical care. Orthopedic injuries can later be complex, as they refer to a broad range of problems associated with one’s bones, ligaments, nerves, muscles, joints, and tendons— the components of the musculoskeletal system. It is important to call an orthopedic injury lawyer (after you have sought emergency medical services) to help protect your rights. An attorney can also help ensure the next critical steps are taken as you pursue compensation for your pain, suffering, and losses.

How Serious are Orthopedic Injuries

Orthopedic injuries tend to be very serious, as often traumatic damage is often done to the joints, nerves, bones, and other components of the musculoskeletal system. Many orthopedic injury lawyers represent clients who require surgery. For instance, joint replacement, arthroscopy, excision and decompression, and spinal fusion are some procedures that someone with damages from this classification may have to undergo.

In some cases, victims will need years to recover with extensive physical therapy, and in other instances, people may never fully recover, while for others, it is a lifelong process. An orthopedic injury lawyer can also research your accident and gather evidence, statements, and expert witnesses. An attorney can build a case seeking compensation for medical care, lost wages, pain, psychological trauma, and other damages that may range from implications in your personal life to damaged property.

Examples of Injuries a Jacoby and Meyers Orthopedic Injury Lawyer Works With

When you partner with one of our orthopedic injury lawyers at Jacoby and Meyers, you will have a personal injury attorney at your side. Our attorneys have also represented victims seeking compensation for these injuries, among others:

• Joint fractures
• ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tears
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Spinal injuries, including those that require fusions
• Hip replacement
• Slipped discs
• Herniated discs
• Sprains
• Fractures
• Overuse injuries
• A shoulder dislocation (with or without nerve damage)
• Sports hernias
• Rotator cuff tear
• Meniscus tears
• Plantar fasciitis
• Tennis elbow

These are only a few of the issues our orthopedic injury lawyers encounter, but there are many more. Many people are unaware of their legal rights, and, without researching their options, may face significant medical bills without pursuing compensation.

Here are two common orthopedic injury examples that may entitle the injured person to compensation:

Student-Athlete Injuries

A 17-year-old boy pitches for his high school baseball team. He can register 101 MPH with his fastball, throws a mean curve ball, and is extremely accurate. Ignoring advice from the team doctor, the coach overuses the athlete and, as a result, he tears his rotator cuff. Not only is he in pain and may require surgery, but MLB scouts quickly lose interest. An orthopedic injury lawyer could collect the medical reports, analyze the prognosis, interview the scouts, and build a case seeking compensation for medical bills and suffering, as well as losses related to the alleged negligence that affected a promising career in professional sports.

Workplace Injuries

For years, a worker who spends all day standing on a concrete floor has requested that her employer provide her with an orthopedic padded mat. One day she goes to a doctor due to severe pain in her feet and is diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. She then cannot work for the next six months and faces lost wages and medical bills. She also suffers from depression due to her inability to hike with the family every weekend. Under appropriate circumstances, an orthopedic attorney may pursue compensation and help her seek recovery for her losses.

What are Some Common Causes of Orthopedic Injuries?

A wide variety of accidents and negligent practices can cause orthopedic injuries. These include:

• Sports injuries
• Slip and falls
• Premises liability injuries
• Workplace injuries
• Medical errors during a procedure or diagnosis
• Auto accident
• Scooter accident
• Motorcycle accident
• Bike accident
• Fall
• Industrial accident
• Assault/gunshot or stabbing
• Product imperfections
• Landlord negligence (a broken step on the stairs, etc)

Any type of accident that occurs due to negligence and has enough force to cause an orthopedic injury may entitle a victim to pursue compensation.

Car Accidents and Orthopedic Injury in Los Angeles

Orthopedic injuries are a serious and often overlooked consequence of a car accident in Los Angeles. Victims may suffer broken bones, torn ligaments, or crushed joints when the force of impact drives the body against hard surfaces such as dashboards or twists limbs unnaturally. These injuries may require surgery when they involve complex fractures.

Treatment for orthopedic trauma is rarely simple. Many victims undergo orthopedic surgery after a crash, where doctors use plates and screws to stabilize bones and restore mobility. Recovery can be slow and demanding, involving weeks or months of physical therapy, repeated medical visits, and long-term rehabilitation.

Recovering from orthopedic injuries can take a toll on both victims and their families. Hospital bills, loss of income, and mobility challenges can affect everyday life long after the crash.
