MARSHALL, Texas. Car accidents can leave victims suffering from a range of serious injuries. We often hear about brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, post-traumatic stress disorder, broken bones, and other major injuries individuals suffer from car accidents. However, joint dislocations can leave victims disabled for weeks or even months and, in some cases, joint dislocations can result in permanent impairment. While these injuries may not always receive the same attention that more serious injuries might receive following a car accident, if you have become disabled due to a joint dislocation, consider speaking to an attorney today. Have you dislocated a knee or an elbow in a car accident? Have you been facing high medical expenses and a long course of rehabilitation ahead? Consider reaching out to the Cooper Law Firm, car accident lawyers in Marshall, Texas today.

Joint dislocations can be incredibly painful. Elbow dislocations can occur in a car or motorcycle crash, or after a fall, when a person puts his or her arms out to absorb some of the force of impact. Elbow dislocations can be partial, complete, or they can involve broken bones. Even an incomplete elbow dislocation can be very serious, may require a long course of rehabilitation, and comes with the risk that a person can permanently lose mobility in the arm. During an elbow dislocation with broken bones, the arm’s stability can be seriously compromised. In some cases, this kind of break may require surgery. According to the University of Washington, with proper treatment and exercises, individuals with simple elbow dislocations usually heal within several weeks. However, if there is a break, the outcomes tend to be poorer. With proper surgery and care, however, patients can receive better outcomes. If you are having trouble receiving the care you may deserve due to concerns about cost, consider speaking to the car accident lawyers at the Cooper Law Firm today in Marshall, Texas.

According to WebMD, knee dislocations, like elbow dislocations, are medical emergencies. Knee dislocations can occur during a car accident or because of a hard fall. Depending on the severity of your injury, your doctor may be able to push the knee back into place, or you may need surgery. If you have broken bones, torn ligaments, damaged nerves, or harmed blood vessels, you may need surgery.

Some of the more serious complications of any dislocation is the risk of nerve damage. If this occurs, victims can lose sensation in their arms or legs and may have difficulty moving after the injury.

With any serious injury, your outcome will be largely dependent on the quality of medical care you receive. If you have had any trouble paying medical bills or had to miss time from work due to a dislocation you suffered in a car accident, you may want to speak to the qualified personal injury lawyers at the Cooper Law Firm today. We may be able to help you seek damages for your medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Call us today to learn more.
