Charlotte Knee Injury Attorney

It Can Take Years to Come Back From a Knee Injury

Charlotte Knee Injury AttorneyA knee injury can occur with the sudden twist of your body, or build over many years of repetitive motion. Many workers who stand on their feet all day or are down on their knees laying flooring or plumbing may not even be aware of the damage they are doing to their knees. The pain and stiffness creep in over the years until you can no longer bear weight.

Free Consultation · No Lawyers' Fees Unless You Recover Benefits or Damages

If you have suffered a knee injury in a workplace accident, or have acquired an occupational disease causing knee stiffness or pain, you may be eligible to receive benefits under the state's workers' compensation laws. With more than two decades of experience, I have helped many workers recover workers' comp benefits after suffering a job-related injury.

Did you know?

The knee is your body's largest joint and is most susceptible to injuries. Because of its complex structure of ligaments, cartilage and tendons required to keep it flexible for bending forward, it is also one of the easiest joints to injure when it is forced to move in an abnormal direction. Some common types of knee injuries include tears to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), damage to the medial collateral ligament (MCL), torn cartilage and injury to the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL).

What Is an Occupational Disease Shoulder Injury?

Under North Carolina workers' compensation law, injuries are determined to be in the category of injury by accident or occupational disease, such as repetitive stress injuries. Many symptoms of knee injuries occur over time. Your attorney must prove that your injury was the result of working in conditions that caused the injury and were more hazardous than what the general public is subjected to.

According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeon's website, you should seek immediate medical attention if you:

  • Hear a popping noise and feel your knee give out at the time of injury
  • Have severe pain in your knee
  • Cannot move your knee
  • Begin limping
  • Have swelling at the injury site

I have experience representing injury victims who have suffered back knee injuries in accidents, such as:

  • Construction site accidents
  • Manufacturing accidents
  • Injuries from falls
  • Motor vehicle accidents, motorcycle accidents
  • Slip and fall injuries, premises liability accidents
