About This Condition

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.

Legal Context

Michigan Law & Your Knee Pain Claim

Michigan is a no-fault insurance state, meaning your own auto insurance policy's PIP (Personal Injury Protection) coverage pays for your medical treatment regardless of who caused the accident. The minimum PIP coverage in Michigan is $50,000 (or unlimited), which covers chiropractic treatment, lost wages, and other accident-related expenses. The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Michigan is 3 years. After this deadline, you lose the right to file a lawsuit for your injuries.

Medical Payments (MedPay) coverage is available in Michigan and can help cover chiropractic treatment costs regardless of fault determination.
