Broken bones don’t always happen in “obvious” accidents. In Cypress, certain situations come up repeatedly:
- Commuter collisions and rear-end crashes: Whiplash may get attention first, while fractures show up later—or are missed in the first exam.
- Falls around retail and parking areas: Uneven pavement, wet walkways, broken sidewalks, or poor lighting can lead to wrist/ankle/hip fractures.
- Construction and maintenance work: Improper safety practices or incomplete shielding can cause traumatic fractures.
- Pedestrian and crosswalk incidents: Even low-speed impacts can cause serious orthopedic injuries, especially for older adults.
Why this matters: insurers often argue the mechanism doesn’t “fit” the injury or that symptoms were present before. A Cypress case needs to anticipate those arguments early.
