- Tendon injuries - Tendons are the tissues that connect muscle to bone and can be injured either through direct trauma or repetitive movement.
- Ligament damage (ACL/MCL/PCL) - Ligaments are the bands of tissue that connect bones and provide stability to the knee joint.

- Dislocations - Caused by slipping, tripping, and falls.
- Tendon injuries - Can be caused by repetitive motion in certain occupations or heavy lifting.

These workplace knee injuries can lead to long-term health issues if not treated properly. Goldberg & Loren understand the complexities of workers’ compensation laws and can help you get the full benefits you are entitled to under the law.
Ligament Injuries
Ligaments are bands of tissue that connect bone to bone and provide stability to the knee joint. Common ligament injuries include:

- MCL (medial collateral ligament) - A direct blow to the outside of the knee joint.
- PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) - A direct blow to the front of the knee usually causes injuries.

These injuries can be excruciating and debilitating, resulting in long-term difficulties with mobility. Goldberg & Loren have experience handling these cases and will fight to get you the maximum compensation for your injuries.
