Knee injuries can occur in slip-and-fall accidents, car accidents, bike and pedestrian accidents, workplace accidents, and other incidents. When you are injured at work or someone else is the cause of your accident, you can file a claim to recover financially. Working with a skilled Louisiana knee injury lawyer can help you determine if you have a valid claim and how to effectively secure the most compensation available.
Our team of personal injury lawyers at Murphy Law Firm has over 150 years of combined experience handling these cases. We can help after an accident.
A knee injury can substantially limit your movement, make it difficult to walk, and prevent you from doing your job. Knee injuries often require physical therapy for a significant time after an accident, and these costs can add up. Our team of lawyers at Murphy Law Firm are here to give you the support and care needed to handle your claim in different personal injury cases. We want to help you get back to your life and get the financial support you need.
A claim for a knee injury, whether it is a personal injury or a workers’ compensation claim, nearly always deals with insurance companies. These companies do not care about individuals who are injured and only focus on what they can do to lower their payout to you. You should not have to deal with these predatory insurers while you are injured and in pain.
Working with an attorney means that someone other than yourself can negotiate on your behalf. Murphy Law Firm has a team of professional negotiators and the resources to calculate your damages. Together, we fight for the compensation you are owed.
Not all knee injuries will allow for a personal injury claim. In order to have a basis for a personal injury claim, you must be able to prove that another individual or entity was careless and that this carelessness caused your injury. In a personal injury claim, you must prove:
If you sustained a knee injury in a car accident, you could file a claim with the at-fault driver. They may have failed to uphold their duty of care by driving distracted, running a red light, or other negligent actions. Different parties owe different levels of duty of care. It is important to talk with a lawyer after an accident to determine if a party, such as a driver, property owner, medical provider, or other party, breached their duty of care to you.
If there is no one at fault, you are likely ineligible for filing a claim. However, if you were injured while at work or completing your job duties, then you could recover compensation for a knee injury through a workers’ compensation claim. This claim does not cover as many damages as a personal injury claim, but it does not require you to prove anyone else was to blame.
The evidence that is needed to prove your knee injury claim will depend on the type of injury and accident. Proving fault in a car accident is different from proving medical malpractice because the parties have different levels of care, and each requires unique methods of investigation.
Eyewitness testimony, police and accident reports, photo and video evidence, and other information can be useful in proving fault, duty of care, and causation. Medical documentation and expert witnesses can be used to prove your injuries and the other damages caused by those injuries.
The average settlement for a knee injury relies on how serious your injury is. More serious injuries have higher costs and serious lifelong consequences and, therefore, have higher damages to recover those losses.
The settlement you can recover also relies on numerous circumstances, such as the type of accident, the insurance coverage limits of the at-fault party, and whether you were partially to blame for the accident. An attorney can also affect the outcome of your case.
Each claim for a personal injury is unique, and many factors influence how long your Louisiana case will take to resolve. You may be able to secure a settlement more quickly if:
There are many ways for pain and suffering damages to be calculated, and several methods may be used and averaged to arrive at the most accurate cost. Pain and suffering damages are intangible losses like physical pain, emotional trauma, and loss of enjoyment of life. These damages are assumed to be greater if your injuries are greater. The amount of time it takes to fully recover and the cost of your tangible damages are both used in calculations.
It is easiest to negotiate a personal injury settlement with the support of a skilled personal injury attorney. These professionals are experienced in negotiation and dealing with predatory insurance companies.
An attorney can review the cause of your accident, the consequences of your injury, and the long-term and immediate damages you suffered. Knowing this information enables them to calculate fair compensation and dispute any low-value settlement offers that don’t reflect the total cost of your damages.
When you have suffered a knee injury, it is important to find a legal team with resources and experience relevant to your accident and injury.
