CONSTRUCTION RELATED LEG INJURY

When construction workers handle heavy objects, they are often advised to lift with the strength of their legs instead of their back or shoulders. The legs contain the longest muscle in the body in addition to housing many of the strongest muscles. However, the legs are not immune to serious lifting accidents. When leg muscles, bones, and other tissues are damaged, a construction worker may be left facing weeks or even months away from work in order to heal.

If you have been injured while lifting a heavy object for your construction job, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation to help pay for medical bills and cover lost wages. To discuss your situation in further detail, contact the experienced St. Louis leg injury lawyers of the Finney Law Office at 314-646-0300 today.

Symptoms of Leg Injuries

When the legs are injured because of a construction site lifting accident, a person may experience a variety of painful symptoms and impediments. These mobility and health issues may include the following problems:

  • Difficulty walking
  • Difficulty standing
  • Severe pain in the leg
  • Swelling or inflammation in the hips, knees, or ankles

In particular, a person injured from a lifting injury may have damaged the joints in his or her leg. Injuries to the knees are particularly common among many construction workers, and unfortunately, they may require surgery, physical therapy, and a significant recovery period.
