Shoulder injuries can have a profound impact on your life. The injury can easily hinder your ability to work, perform daily activities, and enjoy your hobbies. These injuries can result from various incidents, including car accidents, workplace accidents, sports injuries, and slip-and-fall accidents.
If you’ve sustained a shoulder injury due to someone else’s negligence, it’s crucial to understand your legal rights and options for seeking compensation.

Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by the injury.

Shoulder injuries can range from mild to severe, with some of the most common types including:
Rotator Cuff Tears: Often caused by trauma or repetitive motions, rotator cuff tears can lead to severe pain and limited shoulder mobility.
Dislocations: A shoulder dislocation occurs when the upper arm bone pops out of the shoulder socket, often resulting from a fall or direct impact.
Fractures: Shoulder fractures, including broken collarbones and shoulder blades, usually result from high-impact incidents such as car crashes or falls.
Frozen Shoulder: Also known as adhesive capsulitis, this condition involves stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint, often developing gradually over time.
