The average cost of getting a broken leg without complications treated in Washington can be more than $2,000 for those without insurance. If surgery is necessary, the cost of care may start at around $15,000. These costs play a big role in the amount of compensation car accident victims receive. Care for less serious fractures can cost much less, and in turn, victims should expect less in a settlement check.
Securing the Most Possible for Injuries After a Spokane Traffic Accident
Broken legs are one of the most expensive types of injuries that can come out of frightening traffic collisions. Any injury to the legs can affect the mobility of a victim and damage the person’s overall health while they can’t be as active as they were before.
Mira Health estimates that treatment for a fractured leg that doesn’t require surgery will run patients without insurance around $2,500. But that cost escalates when surgery is necessary. The cost to the patient may be anywhere from $17,000 to over $35,000. X-rays alone may have a price tag of $1,000.
The totals on medical care and the income lost by injured victims while they can’t return to work will usually be the biggest determining factors in the size of a settlement check.
CCD Law attorneys also demand compensation for the physical pain their clients endure and may continue to endure. They also seek full support for the emotional trauma victims going through long, difficult leg injury recoveries will have to experience.
CCD Law has won car accident cases for clients totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars. We have the stories of car accident victims we’ve helped on our “Notable Cases” page:
- Our lawyers represented a 43-year-old woman who was struck by a driver and suffered a severe leg injury. She was unable to return to her job. CCD Law secured over one million dollars so she could rebuild her life.
- We represented a 42-year-old man who was in a collision caused by a teenage driver. He endured a serious knee injury that required multiple surgeries. We were able to secure $732,000 for him in his injury claim.
Not every victim will receive a large settlement. Some leg injuries heal after a few months and only require a few thousand dollars worth of medical care. Victims may only receive enough to cover an emergency room visit and repairs to their vehicles. You won’t know what your case is worth until you sit down with an experienced legal professional and discuss what happened to you.
One thing is always true: victims must beware of letting car insurance adjusters decide what a fractured leg is worth.
