Knee Injury Settlements: Real Case Outcomes & Data

One driver was responding to a domestic violence call in a police vehicle with flashing lights but no siren. The driver was speeding through an intersection with a red light. Another driver entered the intersection with a green light and broadsided the police vehicle. Both vehicles were destroyed. The driver who entered the intersection suffered a shattered tibial plateau and underwent knee surgery.

A head-on collision occurred involving a vehicle and an uninsured driver. The crash resulted in injuries to the plaintiff's knees.

One driver was stopped in traffic when the other driver rear-ended their vehicle. The driver who was hit did not report injuries at the scene. Several days later, they began experiencing neck and back pain, and later reported knee pain. An MRI revealed a meniscal tear, and surgery was performed. The injured driver sought damages for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering, arguing the knee injury was caused by the crash. The other driver argued the knee injury was unrelated to the collision.
