Common Work-Related Knee Injuries We Handle

Knee injuries can happen suddenly or develop over time. We regularly represent workers with injuries such as:

• Torn meniscus: Often caused by twisting or squatting. This injury can cause swelling, locking and pain when walking.
• ACL, MCL or PCL tears: These ligament injuries often result from falls or forceful impacts and may require surgery and long recovery periods.
• Patellar fractures: A direct blow to the kneecap can cause severe pain and long-term movement limitations.
• Repetitive motion injuries: Conditions like bursitis and tendonitis can develop from frequent kneeling, climbing or repeated strain.
• Aggravation of preexisting conditions: Colorado law allows benefits when a work injury worsens an existing knee problem.

Many workers suffer knee injuries along with other injuries. Your lawyer can seek benefits that reflect the full scope of your workplace injuries.

What Benefits Can You Get For A Knee Injury In Colorado Workers’ Comp?

Workers’ compensation provides financial support while you recover. Benefits may include:

• Medical expenses: Coverage for doctor visits, surgery, physical therapy, medication and assistive devices like braces or crutches.
• Lost wages (TTD/TPD): Temporary total disability or temporary partial disability benefits usually equal two-thirds of your average weekly wage, up to Colorado limits.
• Permanent partial disability (PPD): If your injury causes lasting damage, a doctor assigns an impairment rating that determines your final compensation.

These benefits are meant to support your recovery and provide financial stability while you heal or adjust to long-term limitations caused by a workplace knee injury. An attorney from The Merkel Law Firm, LLC, can help make sure you receive the right amount you deserve.
