A broken bone injury is one of the easiest types of injuries to prove when you are making a workers' compensation claim or a personal injury claim or lawsuit. X-rays generally tell the truth about your broken bone or fracture. There may be challenges, however, as you seek to determine:
- Whether your disability is temporary or permanent
- What percentage, if any, of your normal functions you may have permanently lost
- How long you need to miss work as your broken bone mends
If your broken bone occurred on the job, you may not have any trouble establishing eligibility for workers' compensation benefits. However, there are some "gray area" situations, such as injuries occurring on a company-sponsored recreational outing. In such cases, a workers' compensation insurer may look hard for excuses not to cover your injuries. There may also be disagreement over whether your loss of function amounts to 10 percent or 20 percent, for example. The difference can mean hundreds or thousands of dollars over time.
