Injuries to the bones and muscles (orthopedic injuries) can be expected, especially as we get older. Sometimes, these injuries result from our lifestyle, like an old sports injury, and sometimes these injuries are due to no fault of our own, such as a slip and fall from a careless puddle of water.
These injuries can often result in surgical interventions using prosthetic implants to alleviate pain and attempt to fix the problem. In the case of negligence, such as slip and falls or defective medical devices, these injuries may lead to a personal injury lawsuit against a business, hospital, or medical device manufacturer.
