Florida Workplace Knee Injury Lawyer

Knee injuries are among the most common workplace injuries and the most easily injured part of the body. This is particularly true for occupations involving moving, lifting, overuse or overload. If you have suffered a knee injury as the result of a workplace accident, please contact a workplace catastrophic injury attorney at our firm. The knee is a hinge joint in the human leg connecting the tibia and fibula with the femur and protected in front by the patella. It is a remarkable joint that allows a limited degree of rotation and pivoting. The most easily injured parts of the body are your knees. Four of the components of the knee are particularly susceptible to workplace injuries: the ligaments, the articular cartilage, the menisci and the tendons. In most knee injuries, one or more of these structures are damaged. The effects of pain, swelling, and stiffness can be debilitating!

If you have been injured on the job please give us a call – our Florida workplace knee injury lawyer can help.

Knee Injuries at Work

The largest and most complicated joint in the body, the knee is used for everything from walking, simply standing, and running. Medically described, it is a “weight-bearing joint that bends, straightens, rotates and twists”. All this motion increases your risk of acute or overuse knee injuries. Besides sudden knee injuries, many injuries are caused by overuse or overload.

Many times employers will claim that it is not job related just because an employee engages in outside sports activities. Acute knee injuries, including torn cartilage and ligaments, are frequently results of falling and-or twisting the knee. Work that involves sudden stopping and turning, as well as heavy lifting occupations, increases the risk of an acute knee injury. All too often employers do not provide adequate protection for the knees of their workers or demand that they perform beyond the capabilities of the bodies to be able to happen. Getting the right care and receiving the proper compensation and accommodations from employers for a workplace injury is often difficult.

Knee pain is an extremely common complaint, and there are many causes. It is important to make an accurate diagnosis of the cause of your symptoms so that appropriate treatment can be directed at the cause.

Our attorney Kevin Moore will fight the insurance companies and employers to make sure that you receive proper care and receive just compensation and accommodations for your Tampa workplace knee injury.

You Need An Attorney Who Knows Knee Injury Claims Cases

If this knee injury occurred because of a Tampa, Florida workplace accident, you should rightfully expect your employer and their insurance company to provide quality care, covering all of your injury related expenses, and compensate you, while you are unable to work if you authorized physician indicates, for your resulting lost income. These are reasonable expectations but all too often you end up having to fight the insurance company for your rightful compensation.

You Are Covered By The Law: According to the Florida Workers Compensation Statute Chapter 440 Section 15 – you could qualify for Temporary Total or Temporary Partial Disability Wages and be entitled to up to 66% of your average weekly wages during the time period of such disability. There are some restrictions and you may have disagreements with the insurance company about them. If this is your circumstance or are worried that you may have such a disagreement with the insurance company then now is the time to contact Kevin Moore’s Florida Workers Compensation Law Firm. Insurance companies are supposed to pay you every two weeks you are out of work because of your injuries. If they don’t pay you timely they owe you penalties and interest. They are also supposed to pay you based upon your last 13 weeks of wages earned. In many cases the insurance company incorrectly calculates your benefits incorrectly and underpays you. You need a lawyer to fight for your lost wage benefits. The insurance company is required to pay your authorized workers compensation medical expenses, prescription medications and your medical mileage. Many times the insurance carrier refuses to pay a medical bill or prescriptions and you are left with these expenses. You need a lawyer to fight to get your medical treatment and medical bills paid. You need an advocate. Just when you are at your weakest you may have to fight the insurance company for the most basic benefits. Florida Workers Comp Insurance companies are notorious for denying claims, and denying rightful or quality care and services. The insurance company’s goal is to save money – not to assure you your rightful care and compensation. If you have had a knee injury you are not in a position to fight the insurance company and more than likely neither is your family. You need to know that your lawyer will take care of the issues that arise and have your best interest at hand. The Law Firm of Kevin A. Moore will listen to you with compassion and understanding.
