Veterans’ Orthopedic Injury Claims

Legally reviewed by Brendan Garcia , Owner and Lead Attorney

Healing after a bone has been broken is not always as simple as wearing a cast until the bone mends and living happily ever after. Far too often, people who have suffered orthopedic injuries such as broken bones, sprains and strains end up suffering from long-term pain and even disability down the road.

Arthritis and other forms of disabling pain may occur years after an initial injury. If the discomfort that you experience because of an injury that happened during your military service is now reaching such a level that you are unable to continue working, you may have a valid veterans’ disability claim — even years after leaving the military.

Are you experiencing a herniated disc in your back long after a service-related car accident that injured your lower back? Perhaps your current health insurance is paying for medical treatment related to your current conditions — but the VA should actually be responsible for compensating your loss of function originating with your service-related orthopedic injury.
