Minneapolis Broken Foot Lawyer
A broken foot can be very painful. The pain is usually accompanied by swelling, bruising, and tenderness. Healing time can range from 6 weeks to 3 months, depending on the severity of the break and whether any complications develop. A broken foot is debilitating and may also necessitate missing work.
If your broken foot was the result of a motor vehicle accident or a slip and fall accident due to negligence on the part of another, you may be able to obtain compensation for past and future medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Broken Foot Injury
The structure of the foot is fascinating. There are 26 bones in the foot that connect to form joints. The joints are supported by ligaments and operated by tendons. The design gives support as well as allowing for flexibility and extension. A fracture of any bone in the foot compromises the integrity of the foot and limits movement.
A broken foot may be treated with:
- a splint
- a cast
- surgery
If you suffered an open fracture (the bone breaks the skin), there is the risk of infection and damage to tendons, arteries, and nerves. Also with an open fracture, it is important to be current on your tetanus shot.
