Our knowledgeable and experienced team understands that injuries to the leg affect both your work and personal life, so let us get to work.

Are These Injuries Common In The Workplace

We know that workplace injuries are a common occurrence. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says that there were around 2.8 million workplace injuries or illnesses during the latest reporting year. When we dig further into BLS numbers, we see the following from a recent reporting year:

  1. 104,000 workplace knee injuries
  2. 60,000 workplace ankle injuries
  3. 52,000 workplace foot injuries

Injuries to the knee, ankle and foot happen all the time, even though most of them are preventable with safe work practices on the part of employers and workers.

What Are The Most Common Workplace Leg Injuries

Our feet and leg joints are remarkably complex. While they can withstand some serious impacts, injuries can be devastating. Our Santa Ana knee, ankle & foot injury lawyers handle a wide array of injuries to the leg, including:

  1. Achilles’ tendon injuries
  2. Cartilage damage
  3. Foot or ankle sprains
  4. ACL and MCL tears
  5. Kneecap injuries
  6. Fractures
  7. Dislocations
  8. Nerve damage
  9. Muscle damage
  10. Repetitive stress injuries

When you consider how all parts of our legs are connected, it is easy to see how an injury to one area can affect another. Leg injuries impact our mobility. They hamper our work and personal lives and can lead to a loss of enjoyment of life.

What Causes Workplace Knee, Ankle, And Foot Injuries

Workplace knee, ankle, and foot injuries happen in a variety of ways. The most common cause of leg injuries in the workplace is slips, trips, and falls. This can be from the same level or from one level to another. Other common causes include vehicle accidents, overextension of the joints, getting crushed between heavy objects, and repetitive motions of the knees, ankles, and feet.
