Understanding Knee Injury After Car Accident
Knee injuries are among the most common lower-extremity injuries in car accidents. The classic "dashboard knee" occurs when the knee strikes the dashboard in a frontal collision, potentially causing fractures, ligament tears, and meniscus damage. Even without direct impact, the bracing and twisting forces during a collision can tear the ACL, MCL, or meniscus. Knee injuries require thorough documentation including functional assessment and often advanced imaging to support your personal injury claim.

Proper medical documentation is the backbone of any personal injury claim. Here's why the right chiropractor makes all the difference:
New Mexico Law & Your Knee Injury Claim
New Mexico 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 New Mexico is 3 years. After this deadline, you lose the right to file a lawsuit for your injuries. New Mexico uses a pure comparative fault system, meaning you can recover damages even if you were partially at fault, though your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Medical Payments (MedPay) coverage is available in New Mexico and can help cover chiropractic treatment costs regardless of fault determination.
