Philadelphia Leg and Knee Injury Lawyer

There are few injuries that can have a more widespread and immediate effect on one’s ability to carry out daily activities than those which affect the legs and knees. When you suffer a leg or knee injury while performing tasks in the course of your employment or in certain off-site situations, you may qualify for financial compensation through your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance.

Types of Leg and Knee Injury

After sustaining a leg or knee injury at work, it is important that you seek medical care as soon as reasonably possible to determine the scope and nature of the damage. This is particularly important because there are many injuries that are more severe than an untrained observer might think. If the appropriate medical diagnosis and treatment are not obtained in a timely fashion, you may find yourself suffering unnecessary pain and extended disability.

Common leg and knee injuries include:

• Injuries to the ligaments (ACL, MCL)
• Patellar (kneecap) fractures
• Stress fractures to the tibia, femur, or bones of the foot
• Damage to and destruction of cartilage
• Strains and sprains

Fighting for Your Benefits

In an ideal world, insurers would have no objection to your valid claim for workers’ compensation.

The Philadelphia workers’ compensation attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., have decades of experience providing legal representation to workers who need assistance in filing claims or in pursuing further action when their claims have been denied.
