knee / leg injuries

Injured in an Accident? Knee or Leg Injury?

Knee and leg injuries are among the most common reasons people visit emergency rooms and orthopedic specialists each year. Indeed, the knee, as the largest joint in the body, is particularly vulnerable due to its complex structure of bones, ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and nerves. Consequently, when accidents occur—whether from car accidents, slip and falls, or other incidents—the impact on the knee can be both severe and debilitating.

If your knee or leg injury results from someone else’s negligence, such as in an auto accident or a fall, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Fortunately, the experienced attorneys at Moore Faust Injury Law Group are here to guide you through the process and help you secure the compensation you deserve.

Common Causes of Knee and Leg Injuries

Knee and leg injuries can arise from various types of accidents. For example, the most frequent causes include:

  • Motor vehicle accidents
  • Pedestrian accidents
  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Recreational vehicle accidents
  • Workplace injuries

Symptoms of Knee and Leg Injuries

When injuries occur, they often lead to significant pain and discomfort. Moreover, common symptoms of knee injuries include:

  • Severe pain, especially when a ligament is torn
  • Difficulty straightening the knee (knee “locking”)
  • Noticeable deformity in the knee or leg
  • Fever
  • Inability to bear weight on the injured knee
  • Limited movement of the knee
  • Limping
  • Popping or crunching sounds in the knee
  • Redness and warmth around the injury
  • Swelling at the injury site
  • Weakness or instability, including the knee “giving out” when walking

Diagnosing Knee and Leg Injuries

To properly treat a knee injury, accurate diagnosis is essential. Therefore, medical professionals use several diagnostic tests, including:

  • X-rays to check for fractures
  • Ultrasound for real-time images of soft tissue
  • MRI scans for detailed 3D images of the knee
  • CT or CAT scans for cross-sectional images from multiple angles

Treatment Options for Knee and Leg Injuries

After a proper diagnosis, treatment for knee and leg injuries depends on the severity and type of injury. For instance, common treatments include:

  • Rest and ice
  • Pain relief medications
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation exercises
  • Orthotic devices to support the knee
  • In more severe cases, surgery may be required to repair damage
