Hip and Groin Injury Attorney Colorado

Law Firm of Jeremy Rosenthal | Hip and Groin Injury Attorney Colorado

One common injury that a person can suffer an injury to the hip or groin area. Hip and groin injuries are painful and complex injuries that can seriously complicate a person’s ability to stand or walk. These injuries are particularly painful and can have drastic long-term medical effects. Many times, a person who injures this part of the body may need expensive and inconvenient repeat trips back to the doctor to ensure proper recovery. Hip injuries can be especially common as a person ages.

Common Types of Injuries to the Hip and Groin

There are a number of ways that a person may injure the hip or groin, and they include:

  • Broken Bones: The hip and groin are comprised of complex systems of muscle and bone. If a person suffers a strong enough impact to their hip, the bones may break. A broken hip bone can lead to lengthy recovery times, and possible mobility issues later in a person’s life.
  • Pulled Muscle or Strains: When a person over-exerts the hip and groin muscles, it is possible to pull or strain the muscle that controls the joints. Pulling or straining a muscle is very painful, and requires ample resting time to recover.
  • Dislocation: Severe trauma can dislocate a person’s hip joint. These types of injuries often require fast and effective medical attention and can be very painful. Failure to provide proper and quick treatment can lead to mobility issues later in a person’s life.

Common Situations That Lead to Hip or Groin Injuries

A hip or groin injury can arise from a number of circumstances. Some of the more common sources of injury to a person’s hip can include:

  • Slip and Fall Accidents: When a person falls, the impact of the fall can cause a hip injury. This can be especially common in elderly individuals.
  • Vehicle Accidents: Strong impacts from a vehicle accident can cause a person to suffer a hip injury. If a person is impacted directly or thrown from a vehicle, the injury can be much more severe.
  • Sports Injuries: It is very common for athletes to injure their hips. This can be especially common in high contact sports.
  • Workplace Injuries: While a person would not normally assume so, hip injuries can be common in a workplace environment. If a person must lift a heavy object for any reason, he or she may injure the hip; the act of lifting puts a strain on the legs and hip joint.

Hip and groin injuries are not only painful but also very likely to lead to more complex issues later in a person’s life. In addition to this, they often require numerous doctor visits to ensure proper recovery. If you or a loved one has been injured, contact the Law Firm of Jeremy Rosenthal.
