The knee joint is designed to bear weight and facilitate movement. Knee injuries can be exceptionally painful and prohibit normal bending and straightening of the leg, making it difficult to walk or perform other normal, everyday activities. A knee injury can be the result of wear and tear due to overexertion, the aging process or repetitive strain. It also can occur in a sudden accident, such as in a car accident, bicycle accident, slip and fall, or a falling object. No matter the cause, it’s not uncommon for a person with a knee injury never to recover fully which can impact employment and the overall quality of life. When this is the case, a Toronto knee injury lawyer should be contacted. A Toronto injury lawyer can assist in recovering compensation for the injury thereby holding the negligent party responsible.
Types Of Knee Injuries
The knee comprises four bones, four major ligaments, shock-absorbing pieces of cartilage (menisci), and small, surrounding fluid-filled sacs (bursas). Additionally, the quadriceps and patellar tendon allow movement in the knee area. Each component of the knee needs to function properly in order for the knee to do its job.
Common knee injuries that warrant attention from a knee injury lawyer in Toronto include:
- Overstretching or tearing of the ACL, LCL, PCL or MCL (the four ligaments that provide stability for the knee joint)
- Meniscus tears
- Bursitis
- Fractures
- Dislocated patella
- Tears to the surrounding tendons

Impact Of Injuries
Knee injuries can cause inflammation, swelling, stiffness, instability, and sharp or lingering pain. They pose a unique challenge for patients because they complicate many aspects of life; if your knee isn’t functioning, you may not be able to walk or work. You might not be able to rest well. When your knee is inflamed and you can’t bend it without causing pain, it can slow life to a crawl. When this occurs, it is important not to rush the healing process. Doing so might put you at risk of further injury to the structures in the knee. While it’s tempting to get back to normal activities before you’re ready, follow your doctor’s orders to avoid aggravating the injury and to ensure proper healing.
Compensation That Might Be Available
Knee treatments are costly, and with Long-Term physical therapy, pain management, and specialist appointments, the bills can be astronomical. Naturally, it’s a good idea to look into all possible forms of compensation when you’ve suffered a serious injury and are unable to resume normal life immediately. You may be able to file a claim to recover damages with the help of a Toronto knee injury lawyer, depending upon the nature of the accident.

personal injury FAQs
Here are some commonly asked questions for personal injury claims
How long does it typically take to resolve a personal injury case in Ontario?
Timelines vary. Some cases resolve in months, while others take years if litigation becomes necessary. Factors include injury severity, available evidence, and how insurers respond.
Do I need a lawyer if the insurance company has made an offer?
Insurance companies often make low offers hoping victims will accept quickly. A lawyer reviews your case to determine whether the offer reflects your losses.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
You may still have a valid claim even if you believe you were partially at fault. Ontario’s laws permit you to recover compensation in cases of shared responsibility, though the final amount may reflect your portion of fault. Never assume you cannot file a claim. Let a lawyer assess the facts first.
How long does a personal injury case typically take?
That will depend on the severity of your injuries and the insurer’s willingness to negotiate.
What costs are involved in pursuing a personal injury claim?
Preszler Injury Lawyers works on contingency, so you don’t pay legal fees unless we recover compensation for you.
Can I still claim compensation if the accident happened on someone else’s property?
Yes. Property owners must maintain safe premises. If their negligence caused your injury, you may have a valid claim.
What should I bring to my free consultation?
Bring any documents you have related to the accident. This includes police reports, your driver’s licence and insurance information, the other party’s information, photos of the scene or your injuries, and any receipts for expenses like prescriptions or therapy. The more information you provide, the better we can assess your claim.
Why is it important to document my injuries and recovery process?
Keeping a simple journal helps track how your injuries affect your daily life. Note your pain levels, medical appointments, missed work or social activities, and any challenges you face with personal care or household chores. This documentation provides powerful evidence to support your claim for pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.
