What You Need to Know About Broken Ribs After a Fall

Broken ribs may be common, but that does not make them any less dangerous. A simple slip and fall accident or accident that results in injury to the torso can result in a broken rib. While uncomfortable, a cracked rib is not the same injury as the more serious, potentially life threatening, broken rib.

Why You Might Need Legal Help After a Broken Rib Injury

A broken rib occurs when the rib is actually separated into two or more pieces. This can lead to several serious injuries. For example, the edges of the broken piece of rib bone can be jagged and can damage blood vessels or internal organs such as your lungs, liver or kidneys. Additionally, the significant pain and long recovery time associated with broken ribs make it difficult for some patients to breathe deeply and can lead to lung complications such as pneumonia.

For these reasons, slip and fall broken rib injuries can be life threatening and life changing. Patients who survive a broken rib injury may miss significant time from work, incur expensive medical bills, and endure considerable pain and suffering. For these reasons, it is important to seek the advice of a New Jersey and New York slip and fall accident lawyer if you suffer a broken rib after a fall accident.
