The pelvis is the structural foundation of the body — and when it shatters, the consequences ripple far beyond the bone itself. Pelvic fractures result from high-impact car wrecks, motorcycle crashes, pedestrian strikes, falls from heights, and serious workplace accidents — and they often involve damage to the bladder, urethra, reproductive organs, intestines, and the major blood vessels that travel through the pelvic region. The initial treatment can include emergency surgery to stop internal bleeding, external fixation devices that reach out through the skin, and weeks of hospitalization. The long-term consequences can include chronic pain, mobility limitations, sexual dysfunction, urinary and bowel complications, and difficulty with childbirth for women of reproductive age. At McKay Law, we take on pelvic injury cases by consulting orthopedic trauma surgeons, urologists, gynecologists, pain management specialists, and life-care planners who can establish the full extent of the damage and the lifetime of care it may require.
Insurance companies love to brush aside the long-term impact of pelvic injuries once the initial fractures appear to have healed, ignoring the chronic pain, the loss of physical capability, the emotional impact of permanent intimate complications, and the cost of follow-up procedures that often continue years into the future. When you come into the McKay Law family, we won’t allow to let your case settle until the full picture of your recovery is in view. We fight for maximum compensation for emergency airlift and trauma care, orthopedic and reconstructive surgeries, surgical hardware, ICU and prolonged hospitalization, ongoing rehabilitation, future medical procedures, urological and gynecological treatment, fertility-related care, mobility aids and home modifications, prescription medications, lost income, reduced future income, the loss of intimacy, athletic, and recreational activities your injury has robbed, and the enduring pain and emotional toll a pelvic injury imposes.
