San Jose Knee Injury Lawyer

The knee is the largest joint in the body, and you use it for nearly everything: getting out of bed, climbing stairs, driving, working, playing with your kids. It’s also complex: three bones held together by ligaments, muscles, tendons, and cartilage. When an accident damages any part of it, simple things become hard, and a physical job can become impossible.

Because the joint is so complex, knee injuries vary widely, from sprains to torn ligaments to a broken kneecap. Pain and swelling are the usual first signs. Serious injuries can leave chronic pain, a limited range of motion, or permanent loss of function. Insurers know knee injuries are expensive to treat, and they work hard to pay for as little of that treatment as possible.

You may have a knee injury claim if:

Recovering for a knee injury takes two things: proof of how the accident happened, and proof of what it has done to your life. We build both, for every kind of knee injury, including:

• Torn ligaments
• A broken kneecap (patella)
• Cartilage injuries
• Knee dislocation
• Muscle damage around the knee
• Soft tissue sprains and tears

Liability first. Whether your knee was hurt by direct trauma in a crash or twisted in an awkward fall, we investigate the cause, collect the evidence, and show how the other party’s actions caused your injury.

Then the full cost of the injury. Knee injuries often mean surgery and ongoing physical therapy, and some never fully heal. We work with your treating doctors to document the diagnosis, the treatment plan, and the care you’re likely to need in the future, so your claim reflects your whole recovery, not the first few visits.

Unlike some firms, we limit the number of cases we take on, so you get personal attention instead of a case number. Every client gets an attorney, a case manager, and a treatment coordinator, and our negotiators spent a combined 50+ years inside the insurance industry. We know how adjusters value knee claims, and how to push back.
