Knee Injury Lawyers Glasgow, Scotland

Knee injuries are common in road accidents, where a passenger’s legs can be pushed forward into the dashboard or front seats. This can cause significant damage including fractures and breaks to the kneecap.

Knee injuries can also occur in the workplace. Knee sprains and dislocations are common among the victims of slips, trips and falls, which can cause damage to the ankle and hip joints as well as the knees. Those involved in labour intensive manual occupational fields, including construction and warehouse management, may sustain knee injuries associated with overuse. If the knee is bent, stretched or turned at awkward angles, for example when lifting heavy boxes, this can place enormous strain around the ligaments and muscle in the joint.

Orthopaedic injuries affecting the knee frequently include bone fractures, ligament tears, knee strains, sprains, bursitis, meniscus tears and knee dislocations. The potential consequences of such an orthopaedic injury can therefore be life altering, particularly in respect of mobility, impacting both the injured person and their loved ones.

While these injuries can be relatively common, if they are the result of another person’s negligence the law entitles the injured person to claim compensation. The damages that are awarded for orthopaedic injuries are aimed at helping the injured person manage with the pain and suffering they have had to endure, provide the financial resources required for a confortable and effective rehabilitation and any other associated costs and losses attributable to the injury, such as loss of wages and future earning ability.

The knee is one of the most crucial and vulnerable parts of the body. If you have suffered a knee injury in a road accident, the workplace or elsewhere as a result of another’s negligence, our personal injury solicitors will guide you through the process of making a claim. Our specialist solicitors can advise if you are entitled to make a knee injury claim following your accident, and can also arrange any help and support you may need.

If you have had to take time off work, have incurred medical fees or have lost the ability to perform everyday tasks, which were part of your life previously, you may be able to claim compensation for your losses. From medical expenses to loss of earnings, we will assist you in recovering the costs of your accident, and secure the compensation you deserve for your injury.
