The pelvis is the structural cornerstone of the body — and when it breaks, the consequences reach 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 involve damage to the bladder, urethra, reproductive organs, intestines, and the major blood vessels that course through the pelvic region. The initial 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 take on pelvic injury cases by working alongside 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 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 stretch years into the future. When you come into 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 the highest possible 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, loss of livelihood, the loss of intimacy, athletic, and recreational activities your injury has stolen, and the life-altering pain and emotional toll a pelvic injury brings.
