Our attorneys in Milton provide legal representation to individuals who have suffered a knee injury from various types of harmful situations, such as:
One of the most common causes of knee injuries is car accidents, including low-speed parking lot collisions, multi-vehicle pileups, and driving under the influence (DUI) accidents, where impaired driving causes serious injuries or fatalities. In addition to compensatory damages, plaintiffs in these cases may collect punitive damages.
Slip and fall accidents happen when an individual trips, slips, or falls on someone else’s property due to third-party negligence such as wet floors, sidewalk cracks, and poorly maintained properties.
Usually, employees injured on the job are entitled to compensation through workers’ compensation claims. However, in some cases when third-party negligence is involved, individuals can also pursue personal injury claims.
Knee injuries can differ depending on the seriousness, affected areas, and underlying causes.
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries happen frequently due to changes in direction, sudden stops, and direct blows to the knee. They may be partial or complete ruptures that require surgical intervention.
Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) injuries happen when a direct force is applied to the outer part of the knee or the force pushes the knee inward.
Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) injuries happen from a direct blow to the front of the knee or from hyperextension.
A lawyer in Milton could work with an injured person’s doctors to show the type and severity of a knee injury caused by an accident.
The statute of limitations is an allotted time frame for an injured party to file a lawsuit. The purpose of the statute is to promote equity and speed in the legal system by not allowing parties to delay legal action indefinitely. Under state law for personal injury claims, the injured party has three years from the date of the injury to file a claim. If the injured party fails to bring the suit within the relevant time period, they will most likely be unable to receive compensation.
