Common causes of pelvic injuries include vehicle accidents, falls, and crushing impacts. Pelvic fractures in older adults often result from low-energy falls—with serious complications including blood clots, pneumonia, and infections.

The pelvis is the structural center of the body — and when it breaks, the consequences extend far beyond the bone itself. Pelvic fractures follow high-impact car wrecks, motorcycle crashes, pedestrian strikes, falls from heights, and serious workplace accidents — and they typically come with damage to the bladder, urethra, reproductive organs, intestines, and the major blood vessels that travel through the pelvic region. The immediate treatment can include emergency surgery to stop internal bleeding, external fixation devices that protrude 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 manage pelvic injury cases by consulting orthopedic trauma surgeons, urologists, gynecologists, pain management specialists, and life-care planners who can document the full extent of the damage and the lifetime of care it may require.
Insurance companies are quick to reduce 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.
