Tucson Knee
Injury Lawyer

Without your knees, you’d be unable to walk, run, or do many of your daily activities without a lot of trouble. Knees are also one of the most fragile joints in the body, and they’re hard to heal. If you’ve suffered knee pain because of an injury, Zanes Law Injury Lawyers understands.

Any injury accident, like a car crash or a slip and fall, could give you a knee injury. If someone else caused your injury, you can seek compensation from them with the help of our knee injury attorneys in Tucson. It’s worth seeing if you have a case because knee rehab is expensive.

Common Knee Injuries

Knees are made of two bones and four ligaments. Unlike many other ligaments in the body, knee ligaments are easily accessible and easily injured. If you watch sports, you’re probably familiar with ACL, MCL, and PCL tears.

Damage can also happen to the articular cartilage and the meniscus, which are pieces of cartilage in the knee that help the bones slide against each other. There are also tendons connecting the knee joint to the muscles.

Tears and fractures of these tissues, along with dislocation of the knee bones, are all common knee injuries. The intensity of an accident can give you a painful knee injury, especially if the joint is pushed sideways.

Types of Compensation You Could Receive

When someone else injures you, you can make a claim against their insurance company or sue them in court for compensation. There are many types of compensation you could receive. These include, but aren’t limited to:

• Medical bills
• Physical therapy
• Lost wages
• Disability
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of enjoyment of life

Your knee injury lawyer in Tucson will perform an investigation to gather evidence to prove your damages. This can include police reports, medical records, statements from witnesses, a journal of your experiences after injury, and more.

Zanes Law has recovered over $1 billion in compensation for our clients during our long history of serving Tucson. We know where to look to maximize your claim and help you get the compensation amount you truly deserve, not what the insurance company thinks you’re owed.

How to Win Compensation for a Knee Injury

It’s not enough just to get an injury. Three other things must be proven in your claim to win your case. First, you have to make a claim against the right person or business. In legal-speak, this is finding who had the duty of care to protect you from your injury.

Next, we have to prove negligence. We have to show they acted unreasonably and put you in danger. A car crash is a simple example. Everyone has an automatic duty of care as a driver toward other drivers. If they crash into you and it’s their fault, they were negligent.

Finally, we have to show that the negligent act caused your injuries. If you had a pre-existing knee condition and you fell and hurt your shoulder, but not your knee, you couldn’t claim your knee injury bills. On the other hand, if an accident made a hurt knee worse, you could claim damages on the new damage.

How Long do I Have to File a Knee Injury Claim?

Under Arizona law, the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim in civil court is two years. If you wait too long to file and pass this deadline, the court will deny your case and the insurer will probably pay little, if anything.

The Constitution guarantees all citizens the right to a speedy trial and due process. Statute of limitation laws push people to file injury claims while memories are still fresh and lawyers can easily gather evidence.

What this means is that you shouldn’t wait to contact a knee injury attorney in Tucson if you’ve been hurt in an accident. As soon as a doctor has seen you and you have a diagnosed injury, that’s the time to call lawyers for consultations.
