Knee dislocations are relatively rare in automobile accidents. But we have seen a number of these recently so I’m writing today about these injuries and to give you some idea of the potential settlement value of these claims.
Knee Discloations in Car Accidents
Knee dislocations occur from athletics, high energy impacts, such as a car crash, or low impact falls in people that are extremely overweight. A dislocated knee is non-functional, often painful, and induces large abnormal strains on the collateral ligaments. Because of the potential for neurovascular damage associated with the injury, knee dislocations are considered to be one of the most serious knee injuries.
