Shoulder Injury Compensation

Workplace Shoulder Injuries

There are several different parts in the shoulder, so there are a number of different ways to injure it. If you injure your shoulder on the job, you qualify for compensation benefits. These injuries can be temporary or permanent and the compensation depends on the cost of medical bills, wages lost over time, and other factors.

Types of Shoulder Injuries

Repetitive and intensive routines can wear out ligaments and muscles in the shoulder over time. The most common types of shoulder injuries you can fall victim to in the workplace are:

• Rotator cuff tears
• Dislocated shoulders
• Frozen shoulders
• Arthritis
• Peripheral nerve impairment
• Impingement
• Bursitis
• Tendonitis

These injuries call for physical therapy, time off work, medication, and even steroids and surgeries. Shoulder injuries can worsen over time, so seek medical attention the moment you feel like something is wrong.

Discuss your injury with a workers' compensation attorney to ensure you get the right benefits. Whatever your employer or insurance company is offering to compensate for your injury can be driven up when you seek legal consult.
