A broken bone puts your whole life on hold: work, driving, sleep, caring for your family. If that is where you are right now, you are not alone. We can carry the legal side while you heal. Broken bones are among the most common serious injuries people suffer in accidents. Some fractures heal fully, but others lead to lasting disability, ongoing pain, and a lower quality of life. If your fracture happened because someone else was careless, you deserve full payment for everything you have lost. In our experience, the number that matters most in a fracture case is not today's medical bill but tomorrow's, and insurers count on you settling before the full cost of surgeries, hardware, and long-term complications is ever on the table.
Florida Broken Bone Injury Lawyers

Types of Fractures We Handle

Our attorneys represent people with all kinds of fractures, including simple and compound breaks, comminuted fractures where the bone shatters into several pieces, stress fractures from repeated strain or impact, hip fractures that are especially serious for older victims, spinal compression fractures, skull fractures, and facial bone fractures.

Common Causes of Fracture Injuries

Broken bones most often come from car and motorcycle accidents, slip and fall accidents, workplace accidents, sports injuries caused by someone's negligence, defective products, pedestrian accidents, and nursing home falls. We look into what caused your injury and go after everyone responsible.

Long-Term Consequences

Serious fractures can cause lasting problems, including chronic pain and limited movement, arthritis at the break site, the need for surgical hardware such as plates, rods, and screws, more than one surgery and long rehab, and permanent disability. We work with medical experts to spell out your long-term outlook so your settlement or verdict covers your future losses too.

Compensation for Fracture Injuries

You may be owed money for emergency care and surgery, hospital stays and rehab, physical therapy, prescriptions, lost income while you recover, future medical costs, pain and suffering, and permanent disability. Call Templer & Hirsch today for a free consultation.

What a Florida Fracture Claim Can Recover, and the Clock That Applies

A broken bone can mean surgery, hardware, months off work, and lasting limitations. Under Florida law, a fracture caused by someone else's negligence can support several categories of compensation, not just your emergency-room bill.

What a broken bone claim can pay you for

Bar length is not a dollar amount. Every case is different.

Medical costs (past & future)
Money you have lost or will lose
Lost wages & earning capacity
Money you have lost or will lose
Pain, suffering & disability
Harm that has no receipt

Florida injury law allows both economic damages (bills and lost income, past and future) and non-economic damages (pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life). The mix depends on the fracture's severity and long-term effect.

2 yrsDeadline to file most Florida injury claims
51%Fault level that bars recovery entirely
FreeCase review; no fee unless we recover

Two Florida rules shape a fracture case. The deadline to sue is generally two years (Fla. Stat. § 95.11), and under modified comparative negligence (Fla. Stat. § 768.81) being more than 50% at fault bars recovery. Fractures often come from car accidents, slip and falls, and pedestrian accidents, and our personal injury page explains how these damages are proven.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is a broken bone injury worth in Florida?

It depends on the type and severity of the fracture, whether surgery or hardware was needed, your medical bills and lost income, and the lasting impact on your life. A displaced fracture requiring surgery and rehab is generally valued higher than a simple break that heals fully. We evaluate the specific facts before giving a realistic range.

What kinds of compensation can I recover for a fracture?

Both economic damages (past and future medical costs, lost wages, and reduced earning capacity) and non-economic damages (pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life). Serious or permanent fractures tend to increase the non-economic portion.

How long do I have to file a claim for a broken bone in Florida?

Generally two years from the date of injury under Fla. Stat. § 95.11. Getting prompt medical documentation of the fracture also strengthens the claim, so it is best not to delay.

What if the fall or crash was partly my fault?

You can still recover as long as you were not more than 50% at fault, under Florida's modified comparative negligence rule. Your compensation would be reduced by your share of fault.
