Pelvic Fracture Settlement Amounts After an Accident

Pelvic fractures are serious injuries that typically result from high-energy trauma such as car accidents, motorcycle crashes, and falls from height. The pelvis is a ring-shaped structure that supports the upper body and protects vital organs, making fractures to this area potentially life-threatening.

Average Settlement Amounts

Stable pelvic fracture without surgery settles for $50,000 to $150,000. Unstable pelvic fracture requiring surgery settles for $150,000 to $500,000. Pelvic fracture with internal injuries settles for $200,000 to $750,000. Pelvic fracture with permanent disability settles for $300,000 to $1,000,000 or more.

Types of Pelvic Fractures

Stable fractures involve a single break in the pelvic ring without displacement. Unstable fractures involve multiple breaks that disrupt the pelvic ring. Open fractures involve bone breaking through the skin. Acetabular fractures involve the hip socket portion of the pelvis.

Complications

Internal bleeding from damaged blood vessels. Organ damage to the bladder, urethra, or intestines. Nerve damage causing numbness or weakness. Sexual dysfunction. Chronic pain and difficulty walking. Post-traumatic arthritis.

Conclusion

Pelvic fracture settlements range from $50,000 to $1,000,000 or more depending on severity and complications.
