Pelvic fractures have high mortality — particularly with internal bleeding. For survivors, pelvic injuries can result in permanent impairment, chronic pain, sexual dysfunction, and lifetime medical needs.

The pelvis is the structural foundation of the body — and when it gives way, 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 frequently carry damage to the bladder, urethra, reproductive organs, intestines, and the major blood vessels that pass through the pelvic region. The acute 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 teaming up with orthopedic trauma surgeons, urologists, gynecologists, pain management specialists, and life-care planners who can capture the full extent of the damage and the lifetime of care it may require.
Insurance companies are quick to minimize 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 become part of the McKay Law family, we refuse to let your case settle until the full picture of your recovery is in view. We chase full 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, missed paychecks, diminished earning ability, the loss of intimacy, athletic, and recreational activities your injury has stolen, and the life-altering pain and emotional toll a pelvic injury imposes.
