Did a sudden, sickening “pop” in your knee during a shift change leave you breathless, or has a persistent, grinding ache in your hip gradually made it impossible to perform your daily job duties? When you rely on your physical mobility to earn a living, an injury to your lower extremities is more than just a medical inconvenience, as it is a threat to your entire way of life.

Pennsylvania law provides specific protections for workers who suffer hip and knee injuries. Understanding what is at stake is the first step toward securing your future.
Yes. If a work-related injury or repetitive stress has aggravated an underlying condition to the point where a total knee replacement is medically necessary, the insurance carrier is responsible for the costs of the surgery and the subsequent rehabilitation.
An Independent Medical Examination (IME) is an exam performed by a doctor chosen and paid for by the insurance company. Under PA law, you generally must attend, but these doctors are often biased. We help prepare our clients for these exams to ensure their rights are protected.
Absolutely. Pennsylvania law protects workers with “pre-existing conditions” if the work-related incident caused an aggravation or exacerbation of that condition. You do not need to have been perfectly healthy before the injury to qualify for benefits.
Whether you are dealing with ACL and MCL tears, meniscus damage, hip bursitis, or a total hip replacement, the path to recovery is often long and paved with obstacles. You deserve a legal partner who understands the nuances of orthopedic injuries and the tactics used by insurance companies to devalue them.
