Leg injuries can severely impact your ability to work, move freely, and live your daily life. Whether caused by a car crash, fall, or workplace accident, these injuries can lead to long-term pain, mobility issues, and lost income.
At Freeburn Law, we fight for the rights of individuals who have suffered serious leg injuries due to negligence or unsafe working conditions. If you’re dealing with medical bills, time off work, or ongoing pain, we’re here to help.
Common Causes of Leg Injuries
Your legs are made up of bones, muscles, ligaments, nerves, and connective tissue — all of which can be damaged in an accident or through repetitive stress. Some of the most common causes of leg injuries include:
-
Workplace accidents, including falls, equipment malfunctions, or heavy lifting
-
Car, truck, or motorcycle crashes
-
Slip and fall accidents
-
Sports or recreational injuries
-
Repetitive motion or overuse
-
Medical conditions, such as osteoarthritis or vein disorders
These injuries can affect any part of the lower body — including the hip, thigh, knee, shin, ankle, or foot.
Types of Leg Injuries
Leg injuries vary widely in severity. Some of the most common include:
-
Fractures of the tibia, fibula, femur, or patella
-
Sprains and strains involving muscles or ligaments
-
Dislocations, especially in the knee or hip
-
Tendonitis and bursitis from repetitive movements
-
Crush injuries or amputations in severe workplace accidents
-
Circulatory issues, such as deep vein thrombosis or varicose veins
Even minor injuries can become serious if left untreated. Don’t ignore ongoing pain, swelling, or limited mobility — get medical care and speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.
Leg Injuries and Workers’ Compensation
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, millions of workers suffer nonfatal injuries each year — and leg injuries are among the most common. Whether it’s a broken leg, joint damage, or overuse injury, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits that include:
-
Full coverage of medical expenses
-
Temporary or permanent disability payments
-
Lost wage replacement
-
Vocational rehabilitation, if needed
At Freeburn Law, we know how to deal with the workers’ comp system and push back when insurers try to delay or deny your claim.
