Knee injury

A knee injury can keep you off the job and require ongoing treatment. We help injured workers pursue the benefits they are owed.

## Help after a workplace knee injury

The knee is a complex joint, and workplace knee injuries range from sprains and torn ligaments to fractures and dislocations. Some respond to bracing and physical therapy, while others require surgery and a long recovery.

When a knee injury is work related, workers' compensation can cover your treatment and replace part of your lost wages. We help you document the injury and pursue the benefits you are entitled to.

## Why representation helps

Insurers may dispute how serious a knee injury is or how much treatment it requires. Having an attorney who knows how these claims are evaluated helps make sure you are treated fairly.

Common questions

## Knee injury FAQs

### Is a knee injury covered by workers' compensation?

If the injury happened in the course of your job, including from repetitive strain over time, it is generally covered. Workers' compensation is a no-fault system, so you do not have to prove your employer was at fault.

### What if I need surgery?

Workers' compensation can cover medically necessary treatment, including surgery when appropriate, along with temporary disability payments while you recover. We help you pursue the treatment and benefits you need.

### How long do I have to report it?

Report a work injury to your employer promptly, generally within 30 days, with further deadlines to file the claim. [CONFIRM: confirm deadlines for your specific claim]
