LEGAL HELP FOR KNEE INJURY VICTIMS

Knee injuries frequently affect New York construction workers who lift heavy objects or perform stressful repetitive motions.

Many different kinds of on-the-job tasks performed by New York construction workers can result in serious knee injuries. Trips, falls, lifting heavy objects, and other stressful repetitive motions performed on construction sites are just a few of the causes of knee injuries to construction workers. Excessive time spent kneeling, crouching, or squatting can also increase stress on the knees. Wearing kneepads and keeping the construction site free of clutter and debris that presents a tripping hazard are two ways that the risk of knee injuries can be minimized. Construction workers can suffer a variety of knee injuries, including:

• Twisted knee
• Broken knee cap
• Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear
• Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tear
• Medial collateral ligament (MCL) tear
• Tendonitis
• Dislocation

• Meniscal tears
• Arthritis
• Chondromalacia
