Knee Injury Compensation

You may be entitled to seek knee injury compensation if your injury has been caused by an accident that was not your fault or through medical negligence. It is a complex process to make a knee injury claim, therefore if you speak to us as soon as you can after the incident, we can help you put together a strong case, collating all relevant information and evidence on your behalf.

Your knee compensation will cover the pain and suffering that was a direct result of the accident or medical negligence. This amount will depend on the severity of the injuries and the length of recovery time. The compensation will also cover any financial loss you have experienced in the form of loss of earnings through missing work as a result of the incident and any medical expenses that you have been expected to cover since your knee injury.

The amount of knee compensation you will receive as part of successful knee injury claims will depend on the severity of your injuries as previously advised. As each case is unique, we cannot tell you exactly what you can expect to receive for your specific injuries, but what we can do is provide you with knee injury compensation amounts guidlines, as stated below:

Type of Injury	Expected Compensation
Severe knee inuries - disruption of joint, serious ligament damage, loss of function	£61,140 to £84,360
Serious knee injuries - leg fracture extending to knee joint, limiting movement	£45,700 to £61,140
Less severe knee injury - significant but lesser pain or mobility issues	£22,960 to £38,120
Moderate knee injuries - dislocation, torn cartilage or meniscus	£13,010 to £22,960
Minor knee injuries - lacerations, twisting, bruising	Up to £12,050

Of course, these are just guidelines for knee injury compensation amounts, so please contact us to discuss your own personal experience in detail with our friendly knee injury claims solicitors. They will be able to provide you with not only advice and guidance about starting the compensation claim process, but they will also be able to give you a greater idea of the compensation amounts you could awarded for your specific knee injuries.

When it comes to making a claim for personal injury or medical negligence compensation there is always a time limit to be aware of. As with all other cases of this nature,  a case of knee injury compensation must begin within three years of an accident or incident where the injury was initially caused. There is a caveat, in that if you at first did not realise that your injuries were due to a specific incident, you can also claim compensation within three years of the date you came to be aware of the reason behind your injury. If a child has suffered medical negligence or injury to their knee through no fault of their own, a parent or guardian can claim compensation within three years on their behalf, or they can make a claim within three years of the date of their 18^th birthday.
