Joint Injury Lawyer

At Abronson Law Offices, we represent clients across California who’ve suffered joint injuries due to someone else’s negligence. If your injury affects your ability to work, care for yourself, or enjoy daily life, we’re here to help.

There are strict legal timeframes to file a claim in California. For most incidents, you have two years from the date of the incident but when a non-federal government agency is involved, that window could be as short as six months. Don’t wait and risk your recovery. Contact our legal team today for a free consultation.

Why Do I Need a Lawyer for a Joint Injury?

Joint injuries can be serious, long-lasting, and expensive to treat, but they’re often underestimated by insurance companies. Unlike broken bones that show up clearly on X-rays, damage to joints may not be visible right away. Pain and limitations often develop or worsen over time. That’s when insurers try to downplay your injuries or blame them on “age” or “pre-existing conditions.”

Our attorneys understand how to build strong joint injury claims using MRI imaging, orthopedic evaluations, surgical recommendations, and long-term treatment records. Whether it’s a strain or a catastrophic injury, we know how to present your case clearly, powerfully, and persuasively. We work with your doctors and our experts to show the full impact of your injury.

Types of Joint Injuries We Handle

Knee Injuries
Torn ligaments (ACL, PCL, MCL), meniscus damage, patellar dislocation, or fractures from direct trauma or twisting. These injuries often require surgery and have high risk of arthritis.

Shoulder Injuries
We often see rotator cuff tears, labral tears, joint dislocation, or frozen shoulder syndrome after car crashes or falls. These injuries significantly limit range of motion and often require months of physical therapy or surgical repair.

Hip Injuries
After an incident or fall hip dislocations or fractures are common, often requiring replacement surgery. This injury can lead to permanent limp, nerve damage, or chronic pain, especially in older adults.

Elbow Injuries
Common in car crashes or falls. Injuries include dislocation, radial head fractures, or tendon tears. These limit the ability to lift, write, or work with your hands.

Ankle & Wrist Injuries
Due to an incident, sprains, ligament tears, and fractures can impair balance, mobility, or grip strength. Some injuries develop complications like complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).

Facet Joint Injuries
These are often misdiagnosed, spinal joint injuries cause pain with movement or prolonged sitting/standing. Common after rear-end collisions or falls.

What Compensation Can I Recover?

If someone else’s negligence caused your injury, you may be eligible for:
   · Medical expenses (past and future)
   · Lost income and reduced earning potential
   · Pain and suffering
   · Rehabilitation and long-term care
   · Emotional distress
   · Any other damages unique to your case

We work with medical experts, financial analysts, and crash investigators to build a strong case and address all the impacts this incident has had on your life. Our goal is to make sure your compensation reflects the true cost of how any incident has affected your life, not just what the insurance company is willing to pay.
