What Is a Pelvic Injury Claim?

Pelvic injuries are some of the most life-altering injuries. The pelvis houses important organs and supports the body, so fractures can damage internal organs and major blood vessels. Pelvic fractures have high mortality — especially when massive internal bleeding occurs. For survivors, pelvic injuries can result in permanent impairment, chronic pain, sexual dysfunction, and lifetime medical needs. McKay Law represents pelvic injury victims in Warr Acres and throughout Oklahoma.

McKay Law Is Your Warr Acres Advocate After A Pelvic Injury

The pelvis is the structural anchor of the body — and when it shatters, the consequences ripple 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 commonly carry damage to the bladder, urethra, reproductive organs, intestines, and the major blood vessels that run through the pelvic region. The initial 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 take on pelvic injury cases by teaming up with 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 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 span years into the future. When you partner with the McKay Law family, we reject the idea to let your case settle until the full picture of your recovery is in view. We chase 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 stolen, and the life-altering pain and emotional toll a pelvic injury leaves behind. Reach us right away at (866) 679-9651 or connect with us online to set up your free consultation and place a firm that understands what a pelvic injury really takes from you on your side.
