How long is recovery after hit by car?

Question

If somebody was hit by a car and broke their leg and jaw about how many days/weeks would it take for them to be able to go home from the hospital?

Answer 1

It depends on how many fractures are within the bones as well as surrounding area damage and unforseen problems. Usually though once the bones are reset they will send the person home within a day.  You asked about recovery too and bones usually set in about 6 weeks. There can still be longer lasting problems. emotionally and physically .

Answer 2

Young people in good condition might be home overnight. Some old folk might not heal well and be in traction for months.
