Knee Injury Treatment Expenses
In many different types of accidents, a person’s knee may be struck against something or may catch their fall. As a result, the knee can sustain severe trauma, causing serious mobility issues and long-term pain. However, there may be treatment options available for those who sustain an injury to their knee, improving mobility over time and reducing pain overall. These treatments can prove expensive in many cases, though.
If you or someone you love sustained a knee injury because of another person’s negligent or reckless actions, a legal professional can fight for you to obtain compensation to cover the losses associated with the injury. To discuss these options in further detail with a qualified legal advisor, contact a Denver personal injury lawyer from Hull & Zimmerman, P.C., at (303) 423-1770 today.
The Cost of Treating a Knee Injury
Knee injuries are particularly common in many vehicle accidents and slip and fall incidents. The trauma sustained to the knee can cause pain, swelling, stiffness, or immobility of the affected knee. Fortunately, however, the following treatments may be available:
- Surgical repair or replacement of the knee
- Pain and swelling management medication
- Physical therapy to improve mobility and reduce stiffness
- Use of braces to help improve healing after an injury
- Use of mobility aids such as wheelchairs and walkers until mobility is restored
While these treatment options can help an injured individual get back much of their mobility and reduce the pain they feel due to the injury, this medical care can also prove extremely expensive. Thus, financial compensation awarded in a personal injury claim can be particularly helpful.
