North Carolina Workplace Knee Injury Attorney
Workplace knee injuries are common among workers who need to move about in their jobs. Roofers, construction workers, truck drivers, box loaders and agricultural workers are all susceptible to knee injuries due to work that requires them to squat, rest on their knees, twist sideways, and/or climb in and out of vehicles.
Some knee injuries are immediately obvious because they are extremely painful. Often, however, they are more subtle. For instance, roofers who constantly work on their knees may cause serious meniscus cartilage damage long before pain and swelling make the injury obvious.
Likewise, workplace twisting injuries and falls can tear ligaments such as the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee. Such injuries can require expensive arthroscopic surgery that employers should pay.
