What Can Affect the Value of a Compensation Claim?

Knee injuries are inevitably painful and inconvenient, but because this joint plays such a key role in the mobility of the leg, damage to the knee can make carrying out daily activities more difficult, uncomfortable, and painful.

For some people, a knee injury means not being able to move the affected leg for a prolonged period of time, seriously impacting their ability to work and participate in other parts of their life. This can result in significant financial costs, whether this be through a loss of income or money spent on medical treatments and rehabilitation.

In the most serious cases, a severe knee injury can lead to life-changing issues, meaning you may require lifelong permanent support and alterations to your lifestyle in order to cope.

Every knee injury claim is different, with compensation calculated based on the severity and circumstances surrounding the injury and the injured person’s financial losses resulting from the accident. To find out how much this could be worth in total, speak to JMW’s personal injury solicitors today.

How Can Compensation Help?

The amount of compensation you receive from your claim will depend on the severity of your knee injury, your ability to work, and the care required to aid your recovery and manage your injury. Compensation can help contribute to the following treatments and expenses:

  • Rehabilitation
  • Lost wages
  • Changes to accommodation
  • Transportation requirements
  • Medical expenses

If your knee injury was caused by someone else’s negligence and is causing mobility issues, or preventing you from working, compensation can help to ensure rapid access to treatment and help with any expenses incurred.

About Knee Injuries

Many people will suffer from a knee injury at some point during their lives. Although knee injuries may occur as a result of an innocent accident or muscular degeneration, unfortunately, there are instances where they have occurred due to someone else’s negligence. 

Common situations where other people are responsible for knee injuries include:

Damage can occur to any part of the knee, including:

  • The articular cartilage, which covers the end of your shin and thigh bones 
  • The menisci, which are two crescent-shaped discs that help stabilise the knee
  • Ligaments, which connect bones together
  • Tendons, which connect muscles to bones

A knee injury can have a huge effect on your quality of life, especially if it makes movement difficult. This can restrict your ability to work, enjoy hobbies and travel. Physical effects of a knee injury can also include:

  • Frequent or recurring pain
  • Weakness in the knee
  • Limping
  • Stiffness in the joint
  • Inability to bend or straighten the leg

Regardless of how you have been affected by a knee injury, if it was caused by somebody else’s negligence, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation.
