Knee Injuries Frequently Suffered in Fall

Falls are a common cause of injuries to the knee, which is the largest joint in the body and crucial to a person’s ability to walk.

Some types of knee injuries include:

  • Knee sprains (ligament stretching or tears)
  • Tears to the cartilage or meniscus
  • Strains (damage to the muscles and tendons resulting from hyperflexion or hyperextension)
  • Inflammation of the bursas (bursitis)
  • ACL tears (a tear in the anterior cruciate ligament)
  • Bone fracture (a broken kneecap, femur, tibia or fibia)
  • Dislocation of the kneecap
  • Dislocation of the knee joint.

These and many other kinds of injuries can give rise to a civil lawsuit seeking compensation for losses caused by knee damage sustained in a fall on someone else’s property in New York City.

The key question that determines whether you can make a slip and fall claim is whether the negligence or wrongdoing of another party was the direct cause of harm to your knee.

New York City slip and fall lawyer at David Resnick & Associates, P.C., can help you secure the necessary evidence, including finding experts, subpoenaing witnesses or petitioning the court to obtain the property owner’s maintenance records. The goal is to demonstrate how the defendant failed you in a way that was the direct cause of your knee injury.

Types of Compensation for Knee Injuries in Falls

The compensation you receive for a knee injury in a slip and fall claim may vary depending on how badly you were hurt, the cost of treatment and whether your injury was permanent.

You may be compensated for past and future medical bills, pain and suffering, emotional distress, lost income and more.

For example, the average cost for an ACL surgery is almost $12,000, and you may need ongoing treatment and care including physical therapy and pain-management solutions. Other types of knee injuries may be more or less expensive to treat depending on how badly you were harmed and what medical intervention is necessary.
