Knee injury compensation claim lawyers

What are the different symptoms of knee injuries?

Knee pain can be caused by medical conditions ranging from arthritis to gout. In some instances, it can be caused by a ruptured ligament or a torn cartilage. It can often prevent you from walking or standing comfortably.

Common symptoms of knee injuries might include:

• Swelling or redness
• Struggling to straighten your knee
• Unusual noises such as crunching

Minor knee injuries can resolve themselves with rest, in many instances using the RICE method. In severe cases, you may need surgery to rectify your knee injury, which can prevent you from going about your normal life and routine for a while.

You can contact us to see whether you could make a knee injury claim.

What is the average compensation payout for knee injuries?

Personal injury claim compensation amounts depend on the circumstances of your accident and how much your injury has impacted your everyday life, as well as the experiences you and those around you have gone through. 

Your knee injury compensation will be determined using the latest Judicial College Guidelines. It will also take into account ascertainable losses such as medical expenses or lost wages.

How does a knee injury claim work?

Whether you're making a claim for a knee injury or something else, the process remains very similar.

1. Your knee injury lawyer will gather all the information, such as witness statements, medical records and any communications you've had with the party who may be at fault. Additional evidence like photographs can help your case too.
2. Your legal team will then get in touch with the other party and let them know that a claim is being made against them.
3. The other party might take responsibility straight away, in which case the level of compensation you receive for your knee injury will be settled. Otherwise, your lawyer will continue the legal process, taking your claim further while keeping you informed. If you need to appear in court, you will be supported through this.
4. If your claim is successful, your lawyer will receive an agreed fee from the compensation you receive for your knee injury. If your claim is unsuccessful and you took out a no win no fee agreement, you won't have to part with any money.

How long do knee injury compensation claims take?

Different factors influence the amount of time your knee injury claim can take. The extent that the injury has impacted your daily life comes into play, and so does the amount of time it takes to compile and submit evidence.

No exact time frame can be placed on a knee injury compensation claim. However, you can rest assured that you will be kept in the loop throughout the process.

What if I lose my knee injury claim?

If your no win no fee claim isn't successful, you won't need to pay anything. This allows you to make a knee injury claim risk-free.

We can also help you take out After the Event (ATE) insurance to give you financial protection if your claim is not successful.
