Knee Injuries

Did You Suffer A Knee Injury Caused By Another Person’s Negligence?

Workers, pedestrians, vehicle passengers and children are all subject to knee injuries. Whether from a fall, accident or cumulative trauma from repetitive stress or overuse, a knee injury is painful and debilitating. Depending on the severity of your injury, you may be unable to walk or drive for weeks or months.

If your injury was caused by the negligence of another party, Cerchione Hurowitz Law Group LLP can seek compensation on your behalf. We know how to negotiate with insurance companies and employers. We will also be prepared to take your case to trial if that is in your best interests.

Recovering Damages For A Debilitating Injury

Knee injuries can be caused by slip and falls, trip and falls, auto accidents, workplace accidents and construction site accidents. These traumatic accidents can result in fractures as well as injuries to the soft tissues. Common knee injuries may include:

• Broken lower leg bones (proximal tibia fractures)
• Broken kneecaps (patellar fractures)
• Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears
• Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tears
• Tears to the cartilage (torn meniscus)

Cumulative trauma can also cause injury to the knees. If you have a cumulative trauma injury, you may experience pain, burning, tingling, hot and cold sensations, and numbness in the knee and surrounding tissues. In addition, your range of motion may be limited and prevent you from doing your job or daily activities.

Knee replacement surgery is expensive and may require home care or a stay in a rehabilitative care facility. If you are unable to return to work, you will also need compensation for lost income.
