Knee Injury claims

Your knee needs to flex and extend, imagine getting up from a chair without being able to bend your knee. Simple tasks such as running, walking, kicking and sitting all become almost impossible without the use of the knee.

The knee is made up of bone, cartilage, ligaments and fluid as well as these, there are muscles and tendons that help the joint move, if any of these parts are injured or diseased the knee can be open to all sorts of problems.

Common injuries associated with the knee are:

• sprain, when one of more ligaments are overstretched, resulting in twisting/wrenching
• strain, when a tendon/muscle is over stretched
• A torn ligament
• A torn meniscus

All of these injuries cause pain, swelling and instability. The main causes of these injuries are:

•Trips/falls
•Sports injury caused by quick changes in direction, like what is seen in football
•The knee being directly hit from the front, i.e. on the dashboard of a car if involved in a car accident
