Toronto Torn Ligaments Lawyer


Torn ligament injuries are extremely painful and not uncommon after traffic accidents, slip and falls, sports, and work-related incidents. A ligament injury can affect your mobility and range of motion and can prevent you from performing everyday tasks. If the injury occurred in a motor vehicle accident or in a number of other ways, you’ll likely be able to file a claim for accident benefits regardless of who was at fault. To learn more and begin your road to recovery consult with a Toronto torn ligaments lawyer today.

Common Types of Torn Ligaments

Ligaments are the tough, fibrous tissue that connects bones to each other or a bone to cartilage. When a ligament is overstretched or torn, the injury is referred to as a sprain. Sprains cause varying degrees of pain, swelling and bruising, as well as a limited range of motion. Any type of forceful movement that twists or torques on the body, such as the impact in a car accident or a stumble on uneven sidewalk, can overstretch and tear a ligament. Some of the most common types of ligament injuries that a torn ligament injury lawyer in Toronto may be able to help with includes:

  • Ankle and wrist sprains
  • Knee ligament sprains (ACL, MCL, LCL, PCL)
  • Torn meniscus
  • Whiplash and neck sprains
  • Rotator cuff tears
  • Elbow ligament tears
  • Torn foot ligaments
  • Back sprains

Three Categories of Sprains

Not all ligament injuries are debilitating. For instance, a mild ankle sprain may just cause you to favor that side when you walk. On the other side of the spectrum, severely tearing a shoulder or knee ligament could incapacitate you for some time.

Sprains or tears are graded according to their severity:

  • Grade I – This is the mildest ligament injury. It involves the stretching of the ligament or a very mild tear and doesn’t cause any joint instability.
  • Grade II – Grade II sprains are slightly more severe than a grade I, but the tearing isn’t complete. The ligament has been damaged, but there is no significant instability.
  • Grade III – This is the most severe form of ligament tear. With a grade III, there is a complete tear, which is referred to as a ruptured ligament. When individuals suffer grade III sprains, they are unable to put any weight on the affected area and won’t be able to use that body part.

Seeking Compensation for Damages

If you have suffered a serious torn ligament injury, look into possible forms of compensation to help pay for treatments and lost wages while you’re healing. You may also be entitled to compensation for pain and suffering. If your injury is the result of an incident for which another party may legally be responsible, you may be able to file a negligence or tort claim. You also might be able to make a claim for short-term or long-term disability if your injury prevents you from working. Finally, if the injury occurred in a motor vehicle accident, your Toronto torn ligament injury lawyer will likely be able to file a claim for accident benefits regardless of who was at fault.
