Orthopaedic Injury Claims

Orthopaedic injuries are caused when there has been an injury, usually a fracture or break to your bones. The variation in severity and impact of these injuries can be huge with some breaks that require minimal treatment and others requiring complex and multiple surgeries. The breaking of a bone can also have a complicated impact in the area of the body with nerve damage, ligament or other soft tissue damage and pain. That is before you have dealt with the cause of the injuries and the often traumatic events that led to them. Whether the injuries were caused in a cycling incident, road traffic collision, an incident at work or caused by an employer, or even through medical negligence, the repercussions can be tough and very serious.
