What Is a Lower Extremity Injury?
A lower extremity injury is an injury that happens to the lower half of the body. It usually happens when the lower half of the body such as knees, feet, and ankles absorb the impact of an accident.
This can result in them being broken, twisted or crushed and can lead to severe injuries that are debilitating and potentially life-altering. The most common lower extremity injuries include strains and sprains, contusions, fractures, and lacerations.
Treatment and Recovery
Treatment of a lower extremity injury will depend on how severe the damage is. If you have suffered a strain or sprain where the muscles or tendons are stretched or torn, this will require bandages and a lot of rest. If you have a more severe injury such as a broken bone you may need surgery.
Sometimes a bone may be so badly damaged that they are beyond repair and require amputation. There is a wide range of lower extremity injuries, so a range of treatments is open to you. If you have an injury that requires specialized help and lots of treatment, this will be expensive and hard for you to pay, especially if you must take time off work in order to heal.
For the more minor lower extremity injuries, recovery may be an easy path with lots of rest and recuperation. However, for the more extreme and complicated injuries, there is the chance you could be left with a lifelong disability such as a minor limp or even being wheelchair bound. This will add a further financial strain if you are unable to work at your job anymore, or if your house is not an adequate place for you to live.How To Get Compensation After an Accident
If your injuries were caused by a negligent driver, you can recover compensation from the driver’s insurance provider. This compensation should include all expenses from physical therapy, a trip to the emergency room, and any other expenses associated with your injury. You can also pursue compensation for lost wages if you were unable to work as a result of the accident, as well as any pain and suffering that occurred.
The insurance company of the negligent driver should provide this compensation; however, we have often seen that unless you have a strong case and legal representation, insurance companies are hesitant to do so. It is important to have an attorney on your side when entering into negotiations so insurance companies do not make you their low settlement.
