Shoulder Injury Attorney

A shoulder injury comes in may forms:

Shoulder injuries commonly occur in motor vehicle accidents, bicycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, slip and falls, and construction accidents.

Rotator cuff injuries and conditions are the most common cause of shoulder problems. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that surrounds the shoulder joint and gives the arm such a large range of motion. Rotator cuff injuries range from simple strains to varying degrees of tears in these muscles or tendons. They can occur during falls on the shoulder or in which the arm is used to break the fall, as well as in a vehicle accident, when the shoulder is used to brace against the interior compartment.

While treatment in some cases may only require immobilization, physical therapy, and/or anti-inflammatory medication, surgery may be suggested if pain and discomfort persists, the joint repeatedly dislocates, or there is a complete tear of the rotator cuff. Arthroscopic surgery is among the most common procedures performed on shoulder injuries.

A shoulder injury, rotator cuff tear, brachial plexus lesion, and other should conditions are painful and can prevent certain daily activities. Shoulder injuries can also restrict one's ability to perform his or her job, resulting in lost wages.

If you have sustained a shoulder injury as the result of the negligence of another, in a car accident, truck accident, motorcycle accident, or other highway accident, then you may be entitled to compensation for the costly medical attention, loss of income, and the pain and suffering that results.
