Recognizing The Different Types Of Knee Injuries

Your knees are vital structures to your everyday movement. When an injury in this area happens, the impact on your ability to function can be severe. The most common types of knee injuries are:

• ACL injuries: The tearing of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is often painful and can require significant surgery.
• MCL injuries: When the medial collateral ligament (MCL) is torn, the injury can range in its severity, sometimes calling for months of recovery time.
• PCL injuries: The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is a stronger ligament in the knee, but it can be torn in a serious injury.

A knee injury in the workplace can occur due to a multitude of factors. If your employer’s negligence led to dangerous working conditions, you may have a viable workers’ compensation claim. At McCormick & Vilushis LLC, our lawyers will take the time to understand your case before ultimately devising a legal strategy that is right for you.
