Knee, hip, and leg injuries from motor vehicle accidents in Wichita and across Kansas are complex and can significantly change your life. At Bull Attorneys, we are experienced personal injury lawyers who understand how the force of a motor vehicle accident causes damage to the knee, hip and upper leg at the moment of a car accident.

Whether you have injured your knee, hip, or leg in a truck accident or car wreck, our Wichita knee injury lawyers with our main office in Wichita, Kansas help knee, hip and leg injuries arising due to a traumatic accident, we are here to help you understand your legal rights.

The National Library of Medicine reported that over 6.5 million knee injury patients went to Emergency Rooms between 1999 and 2008. High energy accidents like car accidents and sports related injuries are the most common cause of knee injuries.

Injuries below the knee are common in a frontal car accident or truck crash and they cost a substantial amount in terms of medical treatment because they cause long term functional impairment and disability. Many knee injuries also cause damage to the hip, thigh and femur due to the significant force of a car accident upon impact with another vehicle. The higher the speed, the worse the injuries are.

Frontal motor vehicle crashes will transmit significant force to the knee which travels to the thigh and hip and can cause severe injuries to all of your lower extremity body parts that sometimes are not repairable.

Our Wichita personal injury lawyers have medical-legal training which helps our law firm team to find the best orthopedic surgeons in Wichita and across western Kansas and Garden City. These medical physicians are specialists and usually are based in Wichita, Kansas. It is more difficult to find a great knee, hip, or leg doctor in Western Kansas.

In trucking accidents that have an over-the-center line car accident or while making left turns hitting the front of cars and pickups can be life threatening and sometimes result in wrongful death. These head-on crashes will easily shatter not only your knee, but travel through the entire leg.

We help you get financial compensation for medical bills, wage loss, future medical treatment, pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life and other financial losses from motor vehicle accidents causing injury to the knee, thigh, or hip. We file the insurance claims, deal with the insurance adjusters, investigate your case to prove the other driver was at fault and if a low-ball offer is made by the insurance company, we file a lawsuit.

In addition to knee injury, the force of a high impact car crash with another large truck or vehicle can jointly injure the pelvis, femur, fibula, and tibia as well as your hip causing damage to many different body parts of the lower extremity. This is because the neck of the femur that is in your hip is the weakest part of the femur and can break easily in a motor vehicle accident.

The most common knee injuries from car, trucking and motorcycle accidents are:

• Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears
• Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tears
• Knee strains and sprains
• Broken bones in your kneecap (patella)
• Tears to the meniscus in your knee
• Broken bones in the leg near your knee like the tibia and fibula
• Tendonitis
• Below the knee amputation
• Thigh Injury
• Kneecap (patella) fractures
• Comminuted (many broken bone fragments) to the knee, thigh, or hip.

Even with safety improvements like airbags, the National Institute of Health found that there is a high rate of severe injuries when a person has a traumatic hip dislocation following a motor vehicle crash. All car accident victims that have a traumatic hip dislocation need a trauma surgery evaluation immediately following a car or truck collision with another motor vehicle.

Most hip dislocations require a closed reduction of the hip by an orthopedic surgeon. When both hips are injured in a motor vehicle accident it is called a bilateral hip dislocation. These injuries are life threatening and cause disability to the injury victim for a long period of time. Most never fully recover.

The most common hip injury from a motor vehicle accident is an acetabular fracture and injuries to the abdomen and pelvic region which makes up 53.92% of all hip fractures according to the National Institute of Health.

• Hip dislocations.
• Comminuted trochanteric fracture of the femur.
• Wall fracture of the acetabulum.
• Femoral head fractures.
• Proximal femur fractures make up a larger percentage of the injuries to the hip and pelvis according to the National Highway Traffic Safety (NHTSA) administration.

The knee-thigh-hip complex is a highly connected group of body parts that is subject to catastrophic injury in high impact trucking accidents and car accidents with large vehicles.
