Knee Injury Lawyer

At Bye, Goff & Rohde, our personal injury lawyers represent clients suffering from a knee injury due to a serious accident.

Damage to your knee can be a huge pain, literally. If you have injured your knee in an accident, then you could be looking at serious pain and suffering for the rest of your life. Even with extensive surgery, there are some instances where you will never be able to play certain sports or even walk without pain again. This is not something anyone wants to think about; however, if you have succumbed to a knee injury, these thoughts are probably not far from your mind.

Knee injuries often occur due to a serious and sudden blow to your knee area. This often occurs after a heavy impact accident such as a car accident or other type of motor vehicle accident. If you have suffered a slip and fall or a workplace accident, you may also be faced with a crushed or damaged knee.

Knee injuries often result in serious and debilitating pain to your leg. This includes:

• Patella fractures
• Meniscus tears
• Chondromalacia
• Tendon reconstruction
• MCL injury (medial collateral ligament)
• PCL injury (posterior cruciate ligament)
• ACL injury (anterior cruciate ligament)

One of the biggest struggles when faced with a serious knee injury is the time it takes to recover. Filing a lawsuit can help you recover damages such as:

• Surgery costs – most tears in the knee require surgery and an extensive recovery time of around four months.
• Rehabilitation –  in almost all instances, you will need to see a physical therapist to work on gaining back muscle into your leg.
• Loss of income – there is a good possibility that you will need to take some time off work and you may not be able to return to your old position in some instances.
• Loss of quality of life – with a serious knee injury you may not be able to do the things you once loved to do: for example, kicking the ball around with your kids, playing football with your friends, or wakeboarding on the weekends.
• Other damages – such as medication costs, childcare costs, and medical equipment.

Is a Lawsuit my Best Option?

Many people who have been injured do not realize that they have options apart from claiming with an insurance agency. You have the right to legal assistance and you have the right to know what choices you actually have. At Bye, Goff & Rohde, we are dedicated to helping you see your options clearly.

We will offer you an honest evaluation of your case to determine if filing a Wisconsin or Minnesota personal injury lawsuit is your best bet.
