These injuries typically result from high-impact car accidents (especially side-impact and head-on collisions), motorcycle crashes, truck wrecks, pedestrian collisions, falls from height, severe slip-and-falls especially in elderly victims, workplace accidents, and crush injuries. Pelvic fractures in elderly victims often result from low-energy falls—making damages especially significant in these cases.

The pelvis is the structural center of the body — and when it fractures, 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 commonly come with damage to the bladder, urethra, reproductive organs, intestines, and the major blood vessels that pass through the pelvic region. The short-term 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 handle pelvic injury cases by consulting 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 tend 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. 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 fight for complete 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 wages, lost earning capacity, the loss of intimacy, athletic, and recreational activities your injury has robbed, and the enduring pain and emotional toll a pelvic injury leaves behind.
