A knee injury can be of various types, it can depend on the cause of the accident as well as its severity.

  2.  Motor vehicle accident: In a car / vehicle accident, you may hit your knee on the dashboard injuring it.
  3. Slip and fall – In a slip and, since one usually falls forward, the knee becomes prone to an injury.
