Some accidents can lead to minor injuries, like bumps and bruises. But if you were referred to an orthopedic specialist after yours, your condition is much more serious and should be treated that way.
Whether you injured tendons, joints, muscles, or a bone, you can expect numerous doctor visits, physical therapy, and probably even a few painful procedures. That is why we recommend you talk to a medical malpractice lawyer for help. Call us to learn more about this important topic and how to recover your extensive damages.
An orthopedic doctor specializes in treating musculoskeletal conditions through both non-surgical and surgical methods. After an accident that caused bone fractures, sprains, or other soft tissue damage, this highly trained medical professional would likely use advanced imaging techniques like X-rays and MRIs to diagnose the extent of your injury.
Once this damage is revealed, an orthopedist would put together a comprehensive treatment plan that includes pain management strategies, physical therapy, or even surgery to repair the accident-related damage.
Soft tissue damage is a hidden issue that may be missed by a general practitioner. These injuries could affect you for the rest of your life if you do not seek immediate medical care from an orthopedic specialist. Because many symptoms do not show up right away, this doctor would perform the necessary diagnostic tests to ensure you get the treatment you need today, while monitoring you closely to prevent long-term complications like nerve damage, osteoarthritis, and reduced mobility.
Yes, you should always consult with an experienced personal injury attorney, like our team at Duffy & Duffy, after any accident, but especially if you need to see an orthopedic specialist. These types of injuries are serious and complex, may require extensive care, and may come with an increased risk of permanent damage.
Doctor bills could start piling up, and there is no need to try to negotiate with the insurance company alone. A skilled attorney would help in cases of disputed liability while protecting you from the adjuster’s tactics so you can get the compensation you deserve.
Getting evaluated by an orthopedic specialist within a day or two of your injury provides us with a clear medical record that links the incident to the resulting damages. If you were in an accident and have extreme trauma due to your musculoskeletal injuries, contact the personal injury team at Duffy & Duffy, PLLC for sound advice you can trust.
