Fractured Bones

Did You Suffer a Bone Fracture?

Personal Injury Attorneys Serving Agoura Hills

Fractures, also known as broken bones, are some of the most common injuries caused in falls or car accidents. However, many times these may have long-term consequences that can affect your personal and professional life. If you have suffered a fracture due to the negligent actions of another person, speak to a Los Angeles injury lawyer at Effres & Associate to discuss your case and your rights.

Causes of Fractures

Fractures most often result from one of the following causes:

Fractures can have several degrees of severity. The severity depends on the location of the fracture, and the extent of damage to the bone as well as surrounding tissue. Some fractures can result in complications including blood vessel damage, nerve damage, infections and improper growth of the bone. A compound fracture occurs when the bone breaks through the skin. Sometimes fractures require surgery in order for the bones to heal correctly.

Consequences of Fractures

Some fractures may have more serious financial consequences for a person. For instance, foot, ankle, hip, and knee fractures may result in an impaired ability to stand or walk for meaningful periods of time without pain. A person may find that even after recovery, he is unable to perform many common activities of daily living, like sitting, standing, stooping, bending, jumping, and climbing stairs.

Bone fractures may not only result in a loss of income earning potential, but also a loss of quality of life. For example, an avid sportsman may find that he is unable to play his favorite sport after suffering serious injuries in an accident.

Our Clients' Success Stories

  • "I would hope that nobody NEEDS to have an injury lawyer, but if they did, I would absolutely recommend Effres and Associates in a heartbeat."
    In August of 2015 I was involved in a serious motorcycle accident that involved the loss of operation of my dominant arm, as well as a traumatic brain injury. My parents had contacted Effres and associates (they were referred to them by another lawyer for another injury to a relative) and they drove from Agoura Hills down to Pasadena immediately, surveyed the accident scene, and then arrived at the hospital. Over the next two and a half years, Justin Effres and his father Steven Effres, relentlessly pursued this case for me, even when at one point it seemed like there wasn't much that could be done to resolve the situation. I had to go through the typical trial stuff such as meetings, deposition, medical appointments for Effres' firm and for the defense, but Effres did all that he could to make everything doable and smooth as possible for me. My perception of lawyers was certainly changed for the better after working with Justin and his dad, because of their genuine sincerity. They were always available and fully knowledgeable of the questions that my family and I had for them. Despite the case dragging on for over 2 years, they never left me hanging or feeling like the case was going nowhere, because Justin kept searching for answers and kept me updated with everything. All of his hard work paid off in a successful outcome for me. I would hope that nobody NEEDS to have an injury lawyer, but if they did, I would absolutely recommend Effres and Associates in a heartbeat.

  • "So pleased to win the case, through your legal expertise."
    Dear Mr. Effres, Please allow us to make your acquaintance. We are writing at the urging of Mr. Gusa, who shared with us the lovely history behind our receiving a beautiful six-passenger golf cart. As you know, he is a fine man and he was so pleased to win the case, through your legal expertise, so as to provide us with this unexpected gift. We would never have conceived of having such a large golf cart. Now that we have it, we are discovering how very valuable it is for being able to take a group of our distinguished guests all together on a tour around the monastery grounds. Perhaps one day circumstances will be such that you find yourself in Arizona. If so, we would be pleased to invite you on a tour of the monastery! With best regards by X. N.

  • "Justice was done."
    Dear Mr. Effres, I was the juror that took your card and assured you I’d call, as time is such a premium in our lives, dropping you a line is much easier. Thank you for the offer of our suggestions and/or comments. What impressed me the most and what seemed the be a determining factor was the diligence in which you presented the evidence, your depth of conviction for Maria’s case was deeply felt. Your calmness in dealing with the judge with the study in the strength of the human character! The only suggestion I would make (and this is coming from a color consultant point of view) would be to wear dark suits, white shirt and a striking tie (LOVE THE SCALE OF JUSTICE TIE), other than that – change nothing. Please pass on my best wishes to Maria even though the money could not begin to suffice for her injury the quality of her life may be enhanced, they are a beautiful family and were represented by a compassionate, thorough, competent lawyer. Justice was done. God bless you. by K. R.

  • "They treated us with genuine kindness and respect, and made such a difficult time for our family bearable."
    I cannot recommend Effres and Associates highly enough. Having lost a loved one due to malpractice, I was determined to find the best legal representation to seek justice for my family. We researched and interviewed many lawyers, and Stephen and Justin Effres stood out in every aspect; their knowledge and experience in the malpractice field, their record of winning cases, their patient guidance through the entire legal process, and their accessibility and responsiveness is unsurpassed. They treated us with genuine kindness and respect, and made such a difficult time for our family bearable. We always felt that they had our best interests in mind. They did such a great job on our case and we were extremely happy with the outcome. I highly recommend choosing them for your legal counsel.
