A leg injury is one of the more common motorcycle injuries. You can suffer a serious leg injury in a number of different types of motorcycle accidents. You don't even have to be riding fast. Some of the serious leg injuries riders get from accidents include the following:
- Broken bones
- Fractured femur (thigh bone)
- Fractured tibia (shin bone)
- Fractured fibula (the smaller bone next to the tibia in the lower leg)
- A torn ligament
- Knee injury
- Foot injury
- Road rash (when the exposed skin skids along the pavement)
Leg injuries can create a lot of problems in your life. You may have to take time off from work — or leave your job permanently! You may start to see expensive medical bills — not to mention the pain and suffering. A serious leg injury may result in a permanent limp or it may make it difficult to move around and enjoy life. Some leg injury victims no longer enjoy things in life like sports or spending time with the family they way they did before the accident.
How an Attorney Can Help After a Motorcycle Leg Injury
If you or a loved one sustained a motorcycle leg injury, you may be able to get financial compensation. A South Carolina motorcycle accident leg injury lawyer at Peake & Fowler Law Firm, P.A. can help you with your legal options. At Peake & Fowler, our attorneys examine the facts and laws in a motorcycle accident. We study the police report, analyze insurance coverage, collect evidence and interview witnesses. Our investigation often includes a visit to the accident scene to determine the road condition and find out if there are any road hazards that played a part in the wreck.
Sometimes accident victims do not realize their leg is broken. It's important to get medical attention immediately. Some symptoms of a broken leg include:
- Severe pain that intensifies with movement
- Ability to stand or move on the leg is limited
- Leg is bruised, swollen or tender
- Leg is deformed, or the part of leg below the break is shifting, moving or rotating
A broken leg may require some form of surgery to adjust the bones, possibly including putting in screws, rods or plates. Commonly, a cast or splint is required to keep the leg still while you recover.
