The pelvis is the structural center of the body — and when it breaks, the consequences reach far beyond the bone itself. Pelvic fractures emerge from high-impact car wrecks, motorcycle crashes, pedestrian strikes, falls from heights, and serious workplace accidents — and they typically carry damage to the bladder, urethra, reproductive organs, intestines, and the major blood vessels that course through the pelvic region. The acute treatment can include emergency surgery to stop internal bleeding, external fixation devices that stick 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 take on pelvic injury cases by working alongside 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 often try 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.
