The pelvis is the structural foundation of the body — and when it gives way, the consequences extend 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 frequently bring damage to the bladder, urethra, reproductive organs, intestines, and the major blood vessels that run through the pelvic region. The short-term treatment can include emergency surgery to stop internal bleeding, external fixation devices that extend 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 tackle pelvic injury cases by teaming up with orthopedic trauma surgeons, urologists, gynecologists, pain management specialists, and life-care planners who can verify the full extent of the damage and the lifetime of care it may require.
Insurance companies love to downplay 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 stretch years into the future.
