Understanding Knee Pain After Car Accident
Knee injuries from car accidents commonly result from the knee striking the dashboard during frontal collisions — hence the term "dashboard knee." The force of impact can damage the patella (kneecap), tear the ACL or PCL, damage the meniscus, or cause bone bruising. Even without dashboard contact, the bracing forces through the leg during a collision can damage knee structures. These injuries require proper imaging and documentation to support their connection to the accident.

Proper medical documentation is the backbone of any personal injury claim. Here's why the right chiropractor makes all the difference:
Illinois Law & Your Knee Pain Claim
Illinois is an at-fault state, meaning the driver who caused the accident (or their insurance company) is responsible for paying your medical expenses and other damages. The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Illinois is 2 years. After this deadline, you lose the right to file a lawsuit for your injuries. Illinois uses a modified comparative fault system. You can recover damages as long as you are less than 51% at fault for the accident. Medical Payments (MedPay) coverage is available in Illinois and can help cover chiropractic treatment costs regardless of fault determination.
