Broken Bones from an Accident in Colorado — Settlement Value & Legal Options

Treatment ranges from casting and immobilization for simple fractures to surgery with hardware (plates, screws, rods) for complex fractures. Recovery typically takes 6 weeks to 6 months. Complications include infection, non-union, chronic pain, and reduced range of motion.

Severity	Estimated Settlement Range
Low Severity	$10,000 - $25,000
Medium Severity	$25,000 - $100,000
High Severity / Catastrophic	$100,000 - $500,000+

Note: These ranges are general estimates based on Colorado verdict and settlement data. Actual case values vary based on specific facts.

Broken bone cases vary widely in value depending on the bone(s) involved, whether surgery was required, and whether the fracture causes permanent limitations. Compound fractures, multiple fractures, and fractures requiring hardware tend to have the highest settlements.

Under Colorado law, both economic damages (medical bills, lost wages) and noneconomic damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress) are recoverable. Noneconomic damages are capped at approximately $642,180 but can be increased to approximately $1 million with clear and convincing evidence. The severity and permanence of your broken bones directly affects your total case value.
