Broken Bone & Fracture Lawyers in Newfoundland & Labrador

Suffered a broken bone or fracture? Get the compensation you deserve with NL’s largest and most experienced personal injury law firm.

Broken bones and fractures can be extremely painful and may take months to heal. Claiming compensation for bone-related injuries can help cover your medical expenses, lost earnings, and any other damages suffered as a result of the accident.

How to Seek Compensation

After suffering a broken bone or fracture injury, you should first seek insurance coverage. If you suffered your bone injury in a car or pedestrian accident, you may claim compensation under the other party’s automobile insurance policy or even your own policy’s Section B coverages. Section B coverages apply, regardless of your fault in an accident.

If you believe someone caused the accident through reckless behaviour or negligence, you may be able to sue for compensation. You must be able to demonstrate the injury’s financial impact on your life for things like medical care, mobility equipment, childcare, transportation, lost income, and more. Pain and suffering may also be pursued, depending on the circumstance.

Sooner is Better

According to Newfoundland and Labrador law, you have two years after an accident to file a claim for compensation. Changes made in 2020 to the Automobile Insurance Act require legal notice of intention to make a claim be provided within just 120 days of an automobile accident. Failing to do so may impact your compensation amount.

It is always in your best interest to keep detailed notes and to collect records and receipts from the moment you are injured – regardless of when you plan to pursue legal action. The more evidence you have showing the injury’s financial impact on your life, the stronger your case will be.
