Mandeville Leg Injury Attorney
Knee and leg injuries can occur in a number of ways in a motor vehicle accident. Banging your knee on the console or steering wheel column can result in tear to ligaments and tendons such as the meniscus, ACL, PCL and patella, or in broken bones. If your leg tenses up in the moments before a collision, something has to give. Usually that ends up being cartilage, tendons or bone.
At The Law Offices of David Adrian Oriol, LLC in Madisonville, Louisiana, we help people in St. Tammany Parish and surrounding areas on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain who have suffered knee and leg injuries in car, truck and motorcycle accidents. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case.
Treating Leg and Knee Injuries
Broken bones, ligament and tendon tears can affect your life for years after an accident. A leg injury can change your gait or your ability to exercise, leading to problems in other parts of your body.
Any time you injure your legs, it's important to receive the proper treatment and rehabilitation so that you can make as full a recovery as possible. Finding a way to pay for your medical care can be an issue, since the insurance company of the at-fault party won't pay you anything until your case is resolved. Therefore, you will need another source of medical coverage.
For many people, employer medical coverage, Medicare or Medicaid will pay for your treatment. If you have MedPay as a part of your auto insurance, it may also provide a source of benefits. If you have no other source of coverage, attorney David Oriol will help you obtain the care you need.
You should never settle your case with the insurance company until you reach what is known as maximum medical improvement. Only then will you know how much money you will need to compensate you for any ongoing pain, medical expenses or disability resulting from your injury.
No fees unless we win your case. We represent knee and leg injury victims on a contingency fee basis. This means that you will not owe any legal fees unless you obtain compensation.
