Knee injury and accidents at work compensation
If you suffer a knee injury at work, you could claim compensation, if the accident was caused by negligence on the part of the employer.Knee injuries can prove particularly painful and you may not be able to return to work for some time if you suffer a serious injury after an accident in the work place.
Knee injuries are usually caused by sudden impact accidents, or they can result from a long period of repetitive movement, when the knee suffers general wear and tear. Miners often suffered from knee injuries after years of kneeling on the coal face and modern tradesmen who are prone to knee injuries include tilers and carpet fitters.
The most common type of knee injury is damage to the tendons or ligaments that hold the knee in place, which can cause problems with mobility, and also cause a prolonged absence from work. If you have suffered a knee injury at work after an accident that was not your fault, you could claim compensation for your injuries from your employer.Damage to knee ligaments and cartilage may not show up immediately on an X-ray, and you may need to visit a specialist to determine the extent of your knee injury after an accident at work.
