What Are Common Causes?

Anything that causes damage to the musculoskeletal system, which includes bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments, can cause orthopedic injuries. Because the musculoskeletal system is such a large portion of the body, and parts of it are so fragile and finely tuned, even small things, like typing too much, can cause tears and trauma. Often, when you really need the help of a personal injury attorney, it’s with the most tragic injuries, and there are many ways that a severe orthopedic injury can occur. Some of the most common ones are:

• Slip/trip and falls
• Car accidents
• Workplace injuries
• Pedestrian accidents
• ATV accidents
• Sporting accidents
• Defective firearms

Any of these situations can leave you feeling helpless and in extreme pain, both physically and emotionally. You shouldn’t have to pay for someone else’s bad decisions and negligence. The injuries won’t disappear, but the medical bills might with an experienced personal injury lawyer at your side.

What Are Symptoms to Watch For?

Orthopedic injuries, when they’re severe, can be devastating. However, because they are often internal, it can be hard to now just how catastrophic the damage is. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms after an accident, it likely means there is something incredibly wrong and that you should seek medical help immediately.

• Extreme bruising
• Bones sticking out at an odd, unnatural angle
• Major swelling
• Excruciating pain when breathing
• Limb(s) unable to hold any weight
• Extreme pain when moving
• Bones piercing through skin

Accidents, whether you were a passenger, driver, or pedestrian, are traumatic and dangerous enough. You shouldn’t risk an even worsened medical condition as well. If you have been involved in any sort of accident, the first thing you should do is get medical assistance. Once you have undergone the necessary treatments, contact a skilled Dallas personal injury attorney so that you can start making your case right away.
