A break in your arm bone can be a total separation or a tiny crack. There are different types of fractures, such as lengthwise (up the arm) and crosswise (across the arm). Bone breaks can be transverse, spiral, oblique, comminuted and greenstick.
A fracture in your arm usually happens when there is a sudden impact or force to your upper limb region. A compound fracture is the most severe physical injury and occurs when the broken bone penetrates your skin, although it is not always visible externally. Compound breaks feature constant pain and long-term consequences for your upper body mobility.

What you do following your accident will impact the outcome of your case. After you have sort medical attention, here are the recommended actions your should take:

This fact is reassuring if a friend or family member is at fault. Contact our lawyers and solicitors now to start your fractured bone claim.
Sometimes arm fractures are so severe that they can leave you with a partial or permanent disability. When a bone break causes lasting damage, you could be assessed as having a Total and Permanent Disability (TPD). While this sounds quite serious, it simply means your injury prevents you from working in your usual occupation or one you have been trained for. For example, if you are a tradie and can no longer work onsite, you could be diagnosed as TPD, receive a lump sum payout, and then retrain to work in an office or other occupation.
Most Australians have TPD insurance benefits contained within their superannuation policy. TPD payouts can be substantial and give you the finances you need to transition to a new life.
