What do we know about these injuries?

What are the most common leg injuries?

Our legs are complex and interconnected. An injury to one part of our leg affects the entire leg. Some of the most common injuries our Downey knee, ankle & foot injury lawyers, handle include:

1. ACL and MCL tears
2. Kneecap injuries
3. Fractures
4. Dislocations
5. Achilles’ tendon injuries
6. Cartilage damage

What causes workplace knee, ankle, and foot injuries?

There are various causes of these injuries in the workplace, including:

1. Slips, trips, and falls
2. Vehicle crashes
3. Heavy machinery accidents
4. Overextension of the joints
5. Crush injuries
6. And more

Many leg injuries are caused over longer periods of time by repeating the same motions over and over again.

How will these injuries affect me?

Injuries to the knee, ankle or foot can affect victims in a variety of ways. In many cases, these injuries are minor and require only a few days off from work.

Injuries to the knee, ankle or foot are often disabling and prevent a victim from returning to work at all.
