Chicago Knee Injury Lawyer
Knee injuries can be sudden and life-altering, leaving you in pain, facing expensive medical bills, and struggling with mobility.
Whether caused by car accidents, slip and falls, workplace incidents, or sports injuries, knee damage can have lasting consequences.
At Mulholland Injury Law, our Chicago knee injury attorneys understand the physical, emotional, and financial impact of knee injuries. We’re here to help you recover the compensation you deserve.
Why Knee Injuries Can Be Devastating?
Knee injuries can range from minor strains to catastrophic damage requiring surgery. Even “moderate” injuries can limit mobility, reduce quality of life, and impact your ability to work.
Common knee injuries include:
- Torn ligaments (ACL, MCL, PCL)
- Meniscus tears
- Dislocations
- Fractures involving the knee joint
- Patellar tendon injuries
- Cartilage damage and arthritis
Left untreated or improperly treated, these injuries can lead to chronic pain, instability, and permanent disability.
Common Causes of Knee Injuries in Chicago
Knee injuries often result from accidents or traumatic events. Typical causes include:
Car and motorcycle accidents
Sudden impacts can damage ligaments, cartilage, or bones
Slip and fall incidents
Wet floors, icy sidewalks, and uneven surfaces
Workplace accidents
Construction, manufacturing, and warehouse injuries
Sports-related injuries
Impact or overuse injuries in recreational or professional sports
Defective products
- Faulty knee braces, exercise equipment, or footwear
Identifying the cause is crucial for establishing liability and maximizing your compensation.
Who Can Be Held Liable for Knee Injuries?
Liability depends on how the injury occurred. Potentially responsible parties include:
- Negligent drivers in car or motorcycle accidents
- Property owners who fail to maintain safe walkways or work environments
- Employers who ignore OSHA safety regulations
- Manufacturers of defective equipment that caused or worsened the injury
Our team investigates every possible source of liability to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

Let me just say, Toby was my advocate every step of the way - in the midst of such a traumatic accident, I had comfort knowing my Lawyer was doing everything in his power to right the wrongs of the person who nearly took my life.
Everything about that experience was new to me - I had never been in an accident, dealt with insurance, filed a suit, given a deposition, etc. Toby was informative regarding all the legal processes which were taking place, and answered all questions I had - in essence: he was my biggest advocate other than myself.
He is extremely organized, well spoken, and knows exactly what he is talking about. Without his help, I don't know how I would have gotten through such a turbulent time.
