Typical Compensation for a Knee Injury at Work
One of your first questions to us will probably be how much compensation can I claim after a knee injury at work. The answer to this question can be quite broad depending on the individual circumstance surrounding your injuries and what medical treatment you incurred – as well as any loss of earnings.
In the UK, the average compensation for a knee injury at work will range between £4,200 and £70,000, but these amounts vary depending on what damage you have suffered to your knee.
For example, if you have a permanent disability and ongoing symptoms, then your compensation amount for a workplace knee injury will be significantly higher than if you have recovered with no lingering effects.
To find out whether you have a clam, call us today on 01252354433^. We will ask you a few simple questions about what happened. We’ll then tell you what you can expect to win from a knee injury at work compensation claim, and what support you can receive from our solicitors **.
How Common Are Knee Injuries at Work?
Estimates have shown that nearly half a million people in the UK visit hospital each year with a knee injury, and many of those will have sustained it in an accident at work.
It’s not only workplace accidents where this can occur though, also road traffic accidents can lead to many types of ligament twists, breaks, dislocations, and bruising to the knee. Our solicitors ** also deal with people who have had a slip, trip, or fall at work leading to knee injury.
The manner in which you were injured can play a large part in any knee injury workers compensation you can expect to receive. We will look for evidence that the accident was caused by the negligence of your employer.
Types of Workplace Knee Injury Claims We Can Help With
The types of knee injuries that our solicitors ** are able to help with include, but are not limited to:
- Kneecap damage to the patella
- Dislocated knees
- Broken knees, breaks, and fractures
- Cartilage damage to the meniscus and gristle
- Knee ligament tears
- Muscle injuries including sprains and strains to the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calf muscles
- Bursitis or housemaid’s knee
Most knee injuries sustained at work will hopefully have a full recovery with no need for ongoing medical attention. Yet those can still be claimed for. But long-term knee injuries are the ones that will tend to be more complex personal injury cases.
Can You Claim for a Knee Injury at Work?
Yes, if you weren’t at fault, is the simple answer. With our professional legal support you can expect to have all bases covered when it comes to claiming knee injury compensation from your work.
To increase the chances of making a successful workplace knee injury claim there are certain factors that our solicitors ** will look into. These are listed below:
- Did the accident happen in the last 3 years?
- Was the injury due to someone else’s fault?
- Did you seek medical attention?
- Did you suffer pain?
- Did you lose out financially due to the accident?
What Can You Claim Compensation For?
When assessing a knee injury claim our solicitors ** will look to seek damages for a wide variety of items:
- Loss of wages, including any future earnings
- Costs of medical and hospital bills including ongoing care
- Any costs relating to travel expenses
- Expenses relating to specialist equipment, such as wheelchairs
- Costs if you need to adapt your home
- Costs that can be attributed to psychological suffering
Your Legal Rights as an Employee
UK legislation for health and safety sets out certain law pertaining to employees claiming for personal injury against an employer. We always try to put our client’s mind at rest as it’s illegal for businesses and companies to discriminate against any employee who takes legal action in the form of an accident claim.
Not only that, but any compensation you receive for a knee injury at work will be paid for by the insurance company that your employer has a legal obligation to have in place. So that means any compensation paid out will be via an insurance company, not the business that you work for.
