Walker Shoulder Injury Lawyer

Most claims, whether they are personal injury or workers’ compensation claims, deal with insurers. Insurance companies do not have your interests in mind and only wish to lower their own liability. When you work with a qualified personal injury attorney at Murphy Law Firm, you have the support you need against these insurers. Our team can help you navigate the claims process and deal with predatory insurance companies for you so that you can focus on your recovery.

Not all shoulder injuries will result in personal injury claims or workers’ compensation claims. There are many potential causes of shoulder injuries, including injuries to the tendons and rotator cuff, and injuries involving fractures, sprains, dislocations, and tears. Some common causes of these injuries include:

• Car and Motor Vehicle Accidents: Car crashes can lead to numerous injuries, including injuries to the shoulder. Even whiplash injuries can result in shoulder pain. Motor vehicle accidents like those involving commercial trucks often result in multiple serious injuries. When another driver or party is to blame for the accident, they can be held financially liable for the injuries of others, including your shoulder injury.
• Slip and Fall Accidents: Slip and fall injuries can result in shoulder injuries, especially when the fall is from a significant height, when the surrounding environment is more hazardous, or when the injured party is more vulnerable. When these injuries occur on the public or private property of a property owner, they may be held liable for your injury. A skilled back injury lawyer can also help you if your fall resulted in back injuries, ensuring that you receive the proper compensation for the full extent of your injuries.
• Workplace Accidents: Shoulder injuries can occur from sudden incidents in the workplace like falling objects, dangerous machinery, and other hazards. When you are injured at work, you do not have to prove that another party was to blame. Workers’ compensation claims, however, do not have all the same damages that personal injury claims do. If a third party was to blame for a workplace accident, you could be eligible for both types of claims.
• Repetitive Motion Injuries: Shoulder injuries can also occur in the workplace because of repetitive motion strain. Repeating the same task for hours, such as lifting and loading boxes or as part of an assembly line, can lead to the formation of a shoulder injury over time. When this injury occurs in the workplace, you may be able to recover financial losses through a workers’ compensation claim.
• Sports Injuries: Many shoulder injuries are the result of sports and recreational activities. If another party was to blame for this accident and owed you a duty of reasonable care, you may be able to pursue compensation. An attorney can help you understand how an expected level of injury risk in your sport or recreational activity affects your ability to make a claim.
