If you or a loved one has fractured your vertebrae from an accident, contact America’s Consumer Lawyer for a free consultation so we can help you recover from this experience and get fairly compensated.
A fractured vertebra is when one of the bones in the vertebrae breaks due to some strong force, such as a car crash, a sports injury, or a harsh fall. There are 33 individual bones in the spinal column which allow us to keep an upright position, act as support for our head and neck, and they are also an essential component to the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS sends messages through the spinal cord to and away from the brain in order to carry out a countless amount of everyday functions from sensory processing to motor skills, so an injury to the surrounding area can cause extensive damage.
A fractured vertebra is treated differently depending on the extent and severity of the injury. Most of these fractures are treated with the goal of immobilizing and stabilizing the bones and reducing the pain in the area. To immobilize the spine and maintain its alignment, a back brace or corset may be used for 8-12 weeks which is around the time that the spine returns to its original position.
More unstable fractures where the bones get displaced from their original spot may involve surgery to fuse the bones with a bone graft. This procedure will require several months until your bones are back to normal. Another surgical procedure is vertebroplasty, which is where bone cement is injected into the fractured bone to solidify it and strengthen the bone. This is a much less invasive procedure with a much shorter recovery time.
If another person caused your injuries, you can file a claim against them for monetary damages. Medical care for a fractured vertebra is not cheap, and it certainly is not cheap when it involves potential complications that you may have had to deal with. With our help, we can help you recover the costs of your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages that resulted from another person’s actions.
