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.

New Jersey Law & Your Knee Pain Claim
New Jersey 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 New Jersey is $15,000, which covers chiropractic treatment, lost wages, and other accident-related expenses. The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in New Jersey is 2 years. After this deadline, you lose the right to file a lawsuit for your injuries. New Jersey 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 New Jersey and can help cover chiropractic treatment costs regardless of fault determination.
