Minor to Severe Injuries
Injuries to the knee are wide ranging from minor injuries to severe disablement. Problems can vary from a simple twist to a crushed knee cap (patella) or total dislocation with bone fractures. The most serious injuries occur in vehicle collisions and industrial accidents involving machinery. Serious damage can result in the necessity for a replacement artificial joint with long term problems and disabilities.

Substantial Compensation
Serious knee injury is a common aliment in Australia particularly in the elderly who may sustain a minor trip slip or fall on the pavement however the vulnerability of joints that may already be troubled by arthritis in the aged may turn what might otherwise be considered as a minor problem into an injury that threatens mobility, not to mention the problems that extensive surgery may bring even on a short term basis. A knee injury compensation claim can attract a substantial damages award particularly in cases where mobility is compromised. Suing for compensation is well within your legal rights if you have been the victim of negligence.
