Statistics show that over six million automobile accidents occur every year in the United States, which leads to over three million injuries. Many of these also resulted in dislocated joint injuries. Dislocated joints happen when the bones are forced out of their positions. These injuries can also cause excruciating pain, thus resulting in further complications.
We are beginning to see an increase in the number of auto accidents in Phoenix each year, therefore we must begin to be more defensive drivers in order to protect ourselves and prevent accidents. With more than 30 individuals being injured every day in Phoenix alone, it is time for a change.
There are several different types of dislocated joints that can occur during a car crash. Some of the most common forms of dislocated joints include injuries to the shoulders, hips, elbows, knees, fingers, and ankles. It is common for older individuals to suffer from dislocated joints; rather younger individuals may suffer more from dislocated elbows.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a Phoenix auto accident due to the negligence of another driver, you may be entitled to receive compensation for your losses and damages. Our attorneys believe it is that negligent individuals responsibility to be held accountable for their actions and pay for your damages.

Symptoms of Dislocated Joint Injuries
Dislocated joints are typically serious and at times, life threatening. Typically when a bone is forced out of its position resulting in dislocation, it is accompanied by an immense amount of pain, loss of function, and stretched or torn ligaments. However, it is common for these individuals to feel no pain during an accident because of the large adrenaline rush associated with car accidents.
When adrenaline flows through the body it blocks many of your receptors and also clouds the mind, which is the reason many accident victims seem flustered. It is highly recommended that all individuals who have been involved in an automobile accident seek immediate medical attention to prevent further complications.
Many common dislocated joint injury symptoms include:
- Intense pain; especially during movement
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Limited mobility
- Visibly discolored, misshapen, or out of place
- Tingling or numbness
Until these dislocated bens are put back into place, these symptoms will continue to linger and cause problems. If you have suffered from a dislocated joint as a result from an action of a negligent individual, you may be entitled compensation for your damages.

Dislocated Joint Treatment
Dislocated joints can be treated in various ways depending on the joint and the severity of the injury. Treatments can range anywhere from applying ice to immobilizing the body part. After treatment, most individuals will regain their full range of motion, function, and will be able to resume normal activities of daily living.
Common forms of dislocated joint injury treatment include:
- Reduction
Reduction is the re-aligning of the body part to put it back in its correct position. In most cases this will require a local anesthetic, especially if there is severe pain and swelling involved.
- Immobilization
It is common to place the injured body part in a splint or a cast, depending on the severity. This is a precaution taken to immobilize the joint in order to prevent further injury and heal correctly. The severity of the injury is directly related to how long the splint or cast will be worn.
- Medication
In most cases, pain will reduce preceding the reduction process, however, if a person continues to experience pain, muscle relaxers and pain relievers may be prescribed.
- Surgery
As a result of the accident, there may be damaged blood vessels and nerves, thus surgery may be required. Surgery could also be required if the dislocation cannot be fixed during the reduction process of dislocation treatment.
- Rehabilitation
After the splint has been removed and surgery has been performed, the rehabilitation process will begin. Rehabilitation is commonly performed by physical therapist and occupational therapists in order to correctly restore the joint to normal range of motion and strength.

I tried a few previous law firms and none would take my car accident case with confidence they could get my anything. Phillips law group took my case and although it took around 4 years to get this case settled as I was in treatment, they never let up with insurance adjusters and they got me as much money as possible. They worked hard for me and advocated for me. Shoutout to key individuals who worked my case nonstop of the years, Robert Ross & Jasmine, you are AMAZING!

My review is for Kathy Hudson a legal assistant at the law firm. She is great! She is very professional and a fair based person. She was never rude to me and always called me back. She listened to me and had my best interest as number 1. Mr Nasir who is a supervisor at law firm also was very professional and helpful. Not sure if spelling his name correctly but sorry if not. As far as mr Ross and the lady that runs the front desk reception I would say they are the most unprofessional and rude people I have met at a law firm in my life especially beings they were representing me. But Kathy made it overall a better experience. Thx Kathy.
