Texas Bone Fracture & Soft
Tissue Injury Lawyers
Attorneys Investigating and Proving Bone Fracture and Soft Tissue Injury Claims
Bone fractures and soft tissue injuries are common results of accidents, whether in a car or on the job. When they occur, your life can change, and financial compensation may be the best course of action to recover your losses. The trusted bone fracture and soft tissue injury lawyers in Texas at Thomas J. Henry Law can help people like you defend their cases.
Understanding Bone Fractures and Soft Tissue Injuries
Bone fractures and soft tissue injuries typically involve immediate pain and may require long-term care, from rehabilitation to corrective surgeries. Working with a lawyer can help you receive the financial compensation you deserve for the injury when you’re not at fault for the accident.
Common Types of Bone Fractures
Bone fractures can vary depending on the force and angle of an impact. In the most extreme circumstances, bones shatter. These fractures can also result in sharp surfaces that may damage surrounding tissue. Common bone fractures include:
- Stable fracture: In a stable fracture, or clean break, the divided pieces of a bone are not displaced and generally line up.
- Compound fracture: This type of fracture occurs when the bone pierces the skin or the skin is broken by a blow at the time of the bone fracture.
- Transverse fracture: A transverse fracture runs horizontally across the bone, at a right angle to the long axis of the bone.
- Oblique fracture: An oblique fracture is angled and tends to occur on longer bones like the femur and tibia.
- Comminuted fracture: This type of fracture occurs when a bone shatters into more than three pieces.
Common Types of Soft Tissue Injuries
Just like bone fractures, soft tissue injuries can occur anywhere on the body and vary in severity. Soft tissue injuries associated with personal injury accidents include:
- Whiplash
- Trauma to 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
Typical Causes of These Injuries
These types of injuries can occur in many situations. Some of the common reasons for these injuries include:
- Vehicle accidents
- Workplace incidents, such as injuries from working at heights or using machinery
- Construction accidents from heavy equipment, falling from heights, equipment collisions and many others
- Premises liability and slip-and-fall from poor property maintenance or management
Compensation Available for Victims
When an accident occurs on the job or as a result of someone else’s negligence, you may qualify for a soft tissue or fracture injury claim. These claims may lead to financial compensation for:
- Medical expenses: Compensation for medical expenses can include costs like doctor’s visits, emergency room bills, surgeries and associated medical costs.
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity: Some injuries require time off work, resulting in lost wages. If an injury is long-term and you are unable to complete your regular duties and lose earning capacity as a result, this loss may also be compensated.
- Property damage: In the case of vehicle accidents, financial compensation may also account for damage to your car, truck or motorcycle.
- Pain and suffering: Noneconomic damages like pain and suffering or mental anguish are harder to quantify, but strategic negotiation with a personal injury lawyer can help obtain compensation in this area.
- Rehabilitation and long-term care: When an injury leads to long-term care requirements and rehabilitation, these expenses may be accounted for in financial compensation.
Soft tissue and broken bone compensation in Texas depends on various factors, such as evidence of economic losses, recovery time, overall life impact and extent of treatment. The state follows a modified comparative negligence rule, so the amount of fault you have in an accident will also play a role in compensation. If it is determined that you are more than 50% at fault for the accident, you will not qualify for financial compensation.
Why Trust Thomas J. Henry Law With Bone Fracture and Soft Tissue Injury Claims

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.
