Did you know that the knee is the largest joint in the human body? The bones of the knee are made up of the femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone), and patella (kneecap), and the knee joint keeps all of these bones in place.
Healthy knees allow your body to sit, stand, walk, run, and jump. A worn down or injured knee can lead to intense pain and long-term medical issues. The first signs of a knee injury are usually sharp pains, stiffness, aching, or grinding in your knees. Minor knee injuries typically take two to four weeks to heal, while serious injuries can require upwards of four to twelve months of healing time.
Any amount of time out of work is too much. Thankfully, those affected by work-related knee injuries are eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. Collaborating with Mottaz & Sisk Injury Law will ensure you get the representation you need to receive benefits.
