Knee & Leg Injuries
Michigan Knee & Leg Injury Claims
Knee and leg injuries from car accidents, motorcycle crashes, pedestrian collisions, and falls can fundamentally change a person's life. Torn ligaments, shattered kneecaps, tibial plateau fractures, and crushed legs may require multiple surgeries, months of rehabilitation, and can result in permanent limitations on walking, standing, and working. Koussan Law pursues maximum compensation for Michigan knee and leg injury victims.
Common Knee and Leg Injuries
Accident-related knee and leg injuries include ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tears, PCL tears, MCL and LCL tears, meniscus tears, patellar fractures and dislocations, tibial plateau fractures, femur fractures, compartment syndrome (a medical emergency where pressure builds in leg muscles), and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) that can develop following leg trauma. Many of these injuries require surgical intervention and extended physical therapy.
The Impact on Daily Life
Your ability to walk, stand, climb stairs, drive, exercise, and perform your job depends on functional knees and legs. When these injuries prevent you from working — particularly in jobs requiring physical labor, standing, or walking — the economic losses can be enormous. Beyond lost income, knee and leg injuries affect every aspect of daily life: from playing with your children to simply getting around your home. We document these impacts comprehensively.
Compensation Under Michigan Law
In auto accident cases, your PIP benefits cover medical treatment and wage loss under MCL § 500.3107. Knee and leg injuries that require surgery or cause lasting functional limitations typically meet the "serious impairment of body function" standard under MCL § 500.3135 for third-party pain and suffering claims. For non-auto cases (premises liability, workplace injuries), standard negligence principles and Michigan's three-year statute of limitations apply.
