Filing a Claim for Knee Injury: Which is the Most Common?

I Have Suffered from a Knee Injury: Can I File a Claim?

If you have suffered from a knee injury, you may be wondering, can I file a claim? The answer is compensation claims or knee injury claims are a possibility if the claim meets certain conditions such as:

• A third party’s oversight, actions or negligence caused the injury.

• The injury must have occurred in the last 3 years. There are exceptions to this rule such as if you were not legally an adult when the injury occurred but it is always best to make knee injury claims soon as possible.

• You need evidence. The more evidence the better and the more likely you will be able to file compensation claims. This can include photographs, police as well as medical reports and anything that proves it was the fault of a third party.

• Knee injury accidents and a split liability agreement

• When it comes to knee injury accidents or knee injury claims the blame for the injury can in many cases be placed on both sides. This means that many of these compensation claims result in a split liability agreement.
