In workplace accidents across Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, injuries to the legs, knees, ankles and other joints are common. These injuries can range from mild sprains and strains to fractures, tears and more serious injuries that require extensive medical care to repair. This care and rehabilitation is expensive, and workers’ compensation is a system designed to allow injured workers to recover benefits when their injuries make them unable to work.
When joints of the body, especially those in the leg and lower half of the body, are exposed to years of constant movement, heavy lifting and repetitive stress, they get worn down and are more susceptible to injuries. Especially in jobs that are physically demanding, such as construction, factory and manufacturing work, the risk of injury to lower half of the body can be great.
These injures can include:
Of course, accidents in the workplace may also cause serious leg, knee and joint injuries. Falls, forklift accidents, falling debris, vehicle accidents, stairway accidents and other accidents can all cause significant damage, or in some cases, permanent disability.
