Hip Fractures
Hip Fractures are serious long bone injuries which impact the lives of Connecticut residents in a variety of circumstances. A liability injury claim brought on behalf of those affected often crosses several practice areas with which my firm is well acquainted. Many of these injuries occur in the work environment and involve machine injuries and mobile equipment or vehicles. Sometimes, these things occur in hospitals and Nursing homes where fall protocols are not properly established or observed and the elderly pay the price for that lack of care. Surgical stabilization is often necessary to stabilize the injury or enable anatomic alignment and healing. Any significant delay in accomplishing that can negatively impact the prognosis and can lead to necrotic bone and infection. In the elderly, there is a well recognized risk of developing secondary complications which can and does lead to pre–mature death. If the fracture occurs near the joint then the long term results for even a younger person can be variable and attention must be paid to in effect predicting the future before settling such claims to hastily. My firm can and regularly does handle all aspects of these matters.
