Don’t hesitate, call Thomas J. Henry Law to receive compensation for your soft tissue injury today.
Common Accident-Related Bone Fractures
Bone fractures can vary depending on the force and angle of an impact. In the most extreme circumstances, bones can even shatter. Additionally, bone fractures can result in sharp surfaces that may damage surrounding tissue. The following are among the most common types of bone fractures.
Stable fracture – In a stable fracture, the broken ends of the bone line up and are barely out of place.
Open, compound fracture – This type of fracture occurs when the skin is either pierced by the bone or broken by a blow at the time of the bone fracture. The bone may or may not be visible in the wound.
Transverse fracture – This type of fracture runs horizontally across the bone, at a right angle to the long axis of the bone.
Oblique fracture – These types of fractures have an angled pattern and tend to occur on longer bones like the femur and tibia.
Comminuted fracture – This type of fracture occurs when a bone shatters into three or more pieces.
Common Accident-Related Soft Tissue Injuries
Just like bone fractures, soft tissue injuries can occur anywhere on the body and can vary in severity depending on a number of factors. Common causes of soft tissue injuries associated with personal injury accidents include:
- Whiplash
- Trauma around the cervical vertebrae
- Chronic neck pain
- Chronic back pain
- Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
- Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD)
- Herniated discs
- Joint trauma (shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, or ankle)
- Internal organ damage
Compensation for Bone Fractures and Soft Tissue Injuries
Bone fractures and soft tissue injuries can result in expensive medical bills and a long recovery. A person who suffered a fracture or soft tissue injuries due to the negligence of another may consider filing a lawsuit to recover compensatory damages for:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering

Your Fractures and Soft Tissue Injuries Questions Answered
We have straight answers to difficult questions to help you make critical decisions, navigate legal process and help you get justice.
Following a fracture or soft tissue injury, there are always more questions than answers. At Thomas J. Henry, we’re here to answer any questions you have about your injury case.
How Does the “No Win No Fee” Promise Work?
The Thomas J. Henry “No Win No Fee” promise works as part of a contingency fee agreement. Instead of receiving payments from clients, we recoup fees and expenses from the final settlement or verdict our clients receive.
This allows us to start working on your case as soon as you hire us, ensuring that your case is handled with the urgency it deserves. It also means you can focus on getting better rather than cutting us a check.
The percentage we collect may vary depending on the complexity of your case, but you will be kept informed so you know what we are collecting before your case is closed.
Even better, you owe us nothing if we don’t win your case! Because our fees are collected as a percentage of your settlement or verdict, we do not collect anything unless and until you get your recovery. This means there is no risk to hiring a qualified attorney to handle your case!
Do I Have to Pay to Speak with an Injury Attorney?
Thomas J. Henry Law offers free case reviews so that you can better understand your legal options. This means you pay nothing for your first consultation. Additionally, Thomas J. Henry Law works on a contingency fee basis meaning that if you do choose to hire us, you pay us nothing unless and until we win your case.

Do I Need a Personal Injury Attorney Help Me Settle My Case?
Insurance companies will attempt to pay out as little as possible when resolving an injury claim. When an individual pursues compensation from an insurance company without the aid of an attorney, the insurance company may see the lack of representation as an opportunity to lowball the injured victim as there is no immediate risk of trial or legal recourse.
By hiring a competent attorney who has a reputation for achieving large verdicts in the courtroom, you are sending a message to the insurer. It will provide the insurance company with extra incentive to offer a fair settlement the first time.
If that first offer is not fair, an experienced personal attorney will have the resources and the knowledge to negotiate with the insurance company in pursuit of a better offer.
What is a Contingency Fee?
In a contingency fee arrangement, an attorney agrees to accept a fixed percentage of your recovery as payment. This means that if you win your case, your attorney will collect their fees and expenses from the money awarded to you. However, if you lose your case, your attorney will collect nothing.
Most lawyers prefer not to work on contingency cases for two reasons:
- There is a risk the firm will be paid nothing
- Any payment is delayed until money is collected from the opposing party
Generally, a lawyer who accepts contingency fee cases:
- Regularly represents clients who lack the financial resources to pay hourly attorney’s fees (as is often the case for personal injury victims).
- Is more selective about the cases they accept.
- Is very confident in their ability to win the cases they choose to handle.
How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Attorney?
The cost associated with hiring a personal injury attorney and how payment is collected may vary from firm to firm. At Thomas J. Henry, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means that we don’t charge our clients a penny unless and until we win their case.
Working on a contingency fee basis allows clients access to resources and legal representation they might otherwise struggle to afford. The more serious a case is, the more money it costs to take to trial. This is because complex litigation tends to take longer to resolve and the entities involved fight harder.
This is especially true if your lawsuit is against a large company, as would be the case in a trucking accident or on-the-job injury. Such companies employ teams of lawyers and have seemingly unlimited financial resources. You need an attorney who has the same. Thomas J. Henry employs a team of more than 100 attorneys and has the money to fight your case out to the end.
Finally, by collecting any fees and expenses after a verdict or settlement is secured, Thomas J. Henry can help ensure his clients are able to focus on healing. “The client’s job is to heal. We will handle the rest,” says Thomas J. Henry.
How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
In Texas, a personal injury case is only worth what a jury is willing to award you. This is why you need an attorney who can not only prove the economic damages you have sustained due to your accident, but can also demonstrate the value of non-economic damages you may have sustained, such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of consortium.
