Philadelphia Bone Fracture Attorney
A bone fracture, referred to in common language as simply a “broken bone”, is an injury in which the structural continuity of the bone is compromised; it is either cracked or broken. Typically, bone fractures occur as a result of impact or trauma, but certain conditions including osteoporosis and types of cancer may weaken the bone and cause fractures to occur.
