Knee & Hip Injuries are Often the Result of Serious Texas Car Wrecks Caused by Negligent Drivers

When a serious Texas car wreck happens, especially if you are struck at high speed by a negligent driver who was drunk or out of control, there are many vulnerable parts of your body. The legs are one of these spots.

Along with numerous types of foot and ankle injuries in Texas car accidents, there are also many different types of knee and hip injuries that can occur. They include, but are not limited to:

• Knee sprain
• Torn MCL/ACL
• Broken kneecap
• Broken hip
• Dislocated hip

Like foot and ankle injuries, hip and knee injuries can require extensive treatment and a long healing time. This can be expensive, especially if it keeps you out of work, and it can put a heavy burden on your entire family.

If your car wreck was caused by a negligent driver, you may be eligible to recover damages for your related costs. This can include:

• Medical bills
• Ongoing care (physical therapy)
• Lost wages
• Permanent losses
• Pain and suffering
