Dashboard Knee Injury Attorneys
Knee Injuries from Car Accident Claims

Compensation for Dashboard Knee Injuries

Did you suffer a dashboard knee injury in a car accident?

A dashboard-related injury is caused when your bent knee (due to the position of the seat in a car crash) slams into the dashboard of your vehicle.

Violent knee impacts with the dashboard or steering wheel can be permanently disabling.

 

The tremendous forces involved in auto accidents can wrench the knee and harm the sensitive tissues even if it doesn't hit the dashboard.

Victims face enduring knee pain, medical bills, physical therapy, and long-term disability.

At Lawsuit Legal our dashboard knee lawyers can help you recover the compensation you deserve when you've been hurt by another driver's negligence.

Common Knee Injuries from Car Accidents

• Anterior cruciate ligament injury (ACL Injury)
• Posterior cruciate ligament injury (PCL injury)
• MCL injuries
• Knee fractures
• Broken knee bones
• Torn ligaments
• Soft tissue injuries
• Dislocated knee joints and bones
• Torn meniscus

Injured parties may require long-term care, surgery, therapy, including time spent in a splint, knee brace, or cast. Even minor dashboard injuries can be extremely painful and cause knee joint instability.

Even sprains may keep you out of your job longer than you can afford. Identifying these knee injuries fully often takes tests and X-rays, but you can watch for specific symptoms.

 

 

Dashboard Knee Insurance Claims

The devastating consequences of a serious knee injury and impact on performing your day-to-day activities is what makes securing a successful legal outcome so important.

It can leave victims unable to work and struggling to restore their mobility.

In the aftermath of the accident it's vital to not only obtain a settlement, but a full & fair settlement that accurately reflects the totality of your losses.

The financial recovery sought should include consideration for all losses resulting from the impact of these injuries on your life.

Make no mistake, the insurance companies are well aware of the substantial costs for treatment associated with traumatic knee injuries.

Don't be fooled when you make an insurance claim, they are not on your side.

Our dashboard injury lawyers understand the impact these unique conditions can have on your day-to-day life and know exactly what it takes to see you get paid what you deserve.

Seek medical treatment immediately following a car accident with your doctor - even a minor collision. A medical professional will have the best chance of diagnosing your injuries correctly and document the true extent of how you were hurt in the crash.

If you have mild symptoms, be aware that it may worsen over time. Settling too soon before the full extent of your injuries are identified can limit what you get paid. Watch for the following signs that you suffered a dashboard injury after an accident.

• Discoloration of the knee and leg
• Swelling around the knee and ankle
• Heat sensations
• Popping noises that indicate a change in how the knee is working
• Pain (may feel like burning, ache, or itching)
• Weakness when trying to walk or stand
• Inability to move the full range of motion

If you or a loved one experience any of these signs after an injury, you should speak with our lawyers who can help you file a claim and protect your rights.

How an Accident Lawyer Can Help?

Our attorneys can help you maximize compensation after a crash and help you with your claim and subsequent treatment.

We can connect you with the specialist medical care that you need. It's important to determine the full value of your potential claim so you don't settle for less than you deserve.

An experienced car accident attorney will be able to help with the following:

Free Legal Evaluation:

• Your initial case evaluation is free and a chance for you to get your questions answered. There is no obligation. For personal injury cases, including those involving common knee injuries sustained in car accidents, representation is on a contingency basis. This means you don't pay any money out of pocket unless you win compensation, and attorneys generally provide a free initial case evaluation to explore legal options.

Properly File your Claim Demands:

• Filing a personal injury claim is not a simple process. The insurance companies will work to minimize their financial exposure, and they will use any information they can against you to do so. The negligence laws are complex and the personal injury laws can be complicated. Medical records, police reports, and supporting evidence must be collected to support your compensation demand and prove your claims. We will seek a fast and fair settlement based on the strength of your case. Your claim will be delayed or rejected outright if you file any part of it improperly or outside the statute of limitations. Your injury lawyer will handle this process, and ensure all the paperwork is handled and deadlines met. They will handle the insurance claim process so you can focus on treatment.

Dealing with the Insurance Companies:

• You may find that the insurance company doesn't act on your behalf after an accident. That's because they don't. Insurance agents may challenge your injury claims or refuse to distribute benefits. They may dispute your version of how the accident happened or try to blame you for the crash. They can slow walk your claim in order to pressure you to settle fast for less than you deserve. Initial settlement offers are notorious for underestimating your true losses after an accident. Your lawyer should handle all communications with the insurers and ensure you know what you are legally entitled.

Specialist Medical Care & Treatment for Knee Injuries:

• You deserve the best medical care with specialist orthopedic doctors experienced with your unique injuries. Our legal team has deep experience helping clients who suffered dashboard injuries and can help connect you to the right medicare care for your needs. This can range from a top orthoedic doctor near you to physical therapists to help you recover your mobility. Your law firm can help ensure you voice is heard and you get the attention you deserve to see you are healed.

Negotiating settlements:

• The majority of personal injuries end in pre-trial settlements, which are agreements between both parties to end the case for a negotiated amount. Your lawyer will negotiate seeking a fair settlement on your behalf. If the insurers refuse to offer the full and fair recovery you deserve - we are can take your case to trial. In some rare cases taking legal action in court is necessary to obtain the justice you deserve. Reaching a fair settlement before needing to go to trial can save time and provide needed financial relief.

Claim investigation & hiring expert witnesses:

• In the case of a trial, to make complex medical claims palatable to juries and judges, your legal team will employ expert witnesses. In some cases accident reconstruction experts are hired to build a stronger case. In these cases, witnesses may include auto accident analysts, doctors, physical therapists, and others who can speak to the extent of your injuries and their overall impact on your day-to-day life.

The sooner you you seek representation from a skilled lawyer after a serious accident, the better. Doing so will give your legal team more time to work and investigate the details before case deadlines.
