Knee Injuries After A Car Accident

Knee injuries after a car accident can occur when the victim’s knees suffer direct, blunt impact from the car door, steering wheel, or another obstacle. This type of injury is not uncommon after an accident, but it is often overlooked. There are many ways to injure your knees in a crash, including sprains, strains, ligament tears, or broken bones. The symptoms of knee injuries can vary depending on the trauma sustained and may include swelling, tenderness, grinding or locking, weakness, pain during activity, and difficulty fully extending the knee. Because knees are crucial for mobility and everyday comfort, even a minor strain or tear can cause significant pain or discomfort, so it is important to have any knee injuries evaluated as soon as possible.
