Rib Injury Claim
Rib injuries can range from cracked ribs to damage to internal organs. Broken or cracked ribs can be extremely painful and often take up to six weeks to repair themselves, during which time the treatment is limited as they cannot easily be reached.
A broken rib can cause a lung puncture, which makes it very hard to breathe. Your liver and spleen could also be at risk of damage from a broken rib.
If you have suffered a personal injury, True Solicitors LLP could help you with your rib injury claim.
Our cases are undertaken on a no-win, no-fee basis so there’s no upfront cost or financial risk to you.
