Accidents and Traumatic Joint Damage
In a variety of accidents, victims can suffer painful injuries to joints including knees, wrists, shoulders, and ankles. Unfortunately, this joint damage often requires surgical intervention or multiple sessions of physical therapy in order to return to normal. However, some types of joint injuries can never be completely healed, instead leaving an individual facing long-term joint pain and mobility issues.
The Consequences of Traumatic Joint Damage
Injuries to such important joints as the knees, wrists, or shoulders can have serious health consequences that may drastically affect a person’s life. Common joint injury-related complications include:
- Difficulty completing tasks at work, especially in careers involving manual labor
- Loss of job prospects, particularly for physical performers or those needing absolute motor precision
- Long-term, if not permanent, pain and soreness in the affected joint
- Difficulty enjoying hobbies involving rigorous physical activity
Fortunately, those who suffer joint injuries in accidents caused by the negligence or carelessness of others have the legal right to seek compensation for their medical treatment bills, loss of wages during recovery, and pain and suffering. An experienced attorney can help you determine the best course of legal action for your situation.
