Wrist Fracture from an Accident in Colorado — Settlement Value & Legal Options

Wrist fractures are diagnosed via X-ray. Treatment ranges from casting for stable fractures to surgery (ORIF) for displaced or unstable fractures. Recovery takes 6 to 12 weeks. Complications include stiffness, chronic pain, and reduced grip strength.

Severity	Estimated Settlement Range
Low Severity	$8,000 - $20,000
Medium Severity	$20,000 - $60,000
High Severity / Catastrophic	$60,000 - $200,000+

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

Wrist fractures are valued based on the dominant/non-dominant hand, severity, need for surgery, and impact on occupation. Writers, typists, musicians, and manual workers may have higher case values due to greater occupational impact.

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 wrist fracture directly affects your total case value.
