Broken bones can require significant medical treatment and lead to months of inconvenience while the fracture heals. However, if you or a loved one suffered this type of injury in a car accident, you could seek compensation for your healthcare costs and other losses.
A Volusia County car accident lawyer can pursue your damages with an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit. The Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine have stood up for the rights of injured clients for nearly two decades. We will put our experience behind building a solid case, allowing you to focus on your health and family.
Car Accidents Can Cause Severe Broken Bones
Broken bone injuries can range in severity, with more force usually resulting in more serious fractures. According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS), the impact of a car accident can cause some of the most severe types of breaks and may lead to a bone shattering.
Healing a broken bone can require immobilization, surgery, or traction. In addition, fully recovering can take weeks or months, and severely broken bones can continue to cause chronic pain and mobility issues even after the fracture heals.
If you have broken bones from a car accident, our attorneys could help you seek compensation for your medical treatment, lost income, and vehicle damage. You may also qualify for monetary awards for pain, suffering, and inconvenience.
Our Volusia County Auto Accident Lawyers Can Seek Compensation For Your Losses
Our Volusia County broken bones car accident lawyers can help you navigate Florida’s no-fault insurance system and seek the maximum compensation available under your policy. For instance, we can assist you with filing a personal injury protection (PIP) claim and fighting to ensure your provider pays you a complete and fair settlement.
If your injuries lead to medical expenses that exceed your PIP coverage, we could pursue damages from the party who caused your crash. Possible car accident compensation includes the following:
- Current medical expenses, including emergency transportation and services, surgeries, hospitalizations, mobility aids, and prescription medications
- Future medical expenses, including follow-up procedures and physical therapy
- Lost income from time missed at work because of your accident and injuries
- Reduced earning capacity if your bone fracture or injury complications will interfere long-term with your earning capability
- Property damage, including fixing or replacing your damaged vehicle or other personal property (e.g., cellphones, laptops, or jewelry)
- Physical pain
- Mental and emotional distress
- Inconvenience
- Lost quality of life

How Long Do You Have To Pursue A Car Accident Case?
Two critical deadlines could affect your chances of recovering compensation for your broken bone injuries and related damages:
- Florida’s personal injury protection statute (Florida Statutes § 627.736) states you must seek medical treatment within 14 days of your car accident. Failing to do so could leave you unable to recover compensation through a no-fault claim.
- Florida’s statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit (HB837) allows two years from the time of your accident to take legal action against a liable party. The court will likely dismiss your case if you do not pursue your lawsuit within the deadline.
Our Attorneys Will Prove Another Party Owes You Damages
Car accidents often result from the negligent or wrongful actions of an involved driver. Our lawyers can help you prove another motorist caused your collision, giving you the right to recover damages from the liable party. For example, our legal team will:
- Obtain medical records, police reports, and other case-related documents.
- Contact and interview eyewitnesses.
- Consult with case experts, including doctors, economists, and crash reconstruction specialists.
- Visit the scene of your collision to take photographs and collect physical evidence.
- Track down available cellphone, dashcam, or surveillance video of the accident.
- Calculate your economic losses using medical bills, pay stubs, invoices, and receipts.
- Establish your right to noneconomic compensation.
Along the way, we will stand by your side and ensure you receive fair treatment from the insurance companies. We will push back against allegations of wrongdoing on your part that could reduce the amount of your claim. In addition, we will protect you from bad-faith tactics or undue pressure to settle for less than you deserve. Finally, if necessary, we will take your case to civil court.
