Shoulder Injury Claims in England and Wales
Shoulder injuries can turn your life upside down. It is not just the pain, it is the frequent hospital trips, the days off work, the physio appointments along with the financial strain that quietly creeps in. If you have hurt your shoulder because someone else was careless, whether at work, on the road, or in a public place, you might be eligible to make a shoulder injury compensation claim.
At RU1NJURED, our panel Solicitors specialise in helping people like you bounce back financially after unexpected shoulder injuries from a non-fault accident. We are here to fight for the personal injury compensation you deserve, so you can focus on getting better instead of stressing over lost income, or treatment costs.
Types of Shoulder Injuries
The shoulder is one of the most versatile joints in the body. You reach, you lift, you carry your whole day on them, but when something goes wrong, it hits harder than you would think. That flexibility in your shoulder comes with a price. It is one of the easiest areas to injure in your body.
Let us talk about the types of shoulder injuries after a non-fault accident that can mess with your life.
Rotator cuff tears
These are sneaky. Sometimes it is from doing the same movement over and over, other times it is from a sudden hit, like a fall or crash. Either way, it leaves you in pain and struggling to move your arm like before.
Frozen shoulder
Feels like your shoulder just gave up. Movement becomes nearly impossible, and the pain? Constant and sharp.
Dislocations
Often happen in a car accident or a nasty fall. One moment you are fine, next you are on your way to A&E. Recovery can take a while.
Fractures (especially the collarbone)
A sudden slip or accident can easily break the bones around your shoulder. Sometimes surgery is needed, and that is no small deal.
Sprains and soft tissue damage
This may sound small, but they are not. They can stop you from working, lifting stuff, or even sleeping properly.
Nerve damage or impingement
These are the types of injuries that often go unnoticed at first. You do not always notice them immediately, but they cause weird tingling, numbness, and sometimes long-term problems if ignored.
Whether your shoulder injury is mild or severe, if someone else’s negligence caused it, it is worth exploring your options for a shoulder injury compensation claim.
Examples of Shoulder Injury Claims
At RU1NJURED, our specialists help all sorts of people with shoulder injury claims.
- Like a warehouse worker who dislocated his shoulder lifting messy boxes.
- A cyclist hit by a reckless driver ended up with a fractured collarbone.
- A retail assistant got a frozen shoulder from doing the same task over and over, with no support.
- A teacher who slipped on a wet school floor tore her rotator cuff.
If any of that sounds like what you have been through, you might be able to make a shoulder injury claim and obtain the personal injury compensation you deserve.
Financial Implications of a Shoulder Injury
When you injure your shoulder, the costs go beyond just pain.
- There is lost income from missed work, especially if you do not have any sick leave left.
- You might need to cut down your hours or do lighter work, which means a smaller payslip.
- Medical expenses like physiotherapy, medication, psychotherapy and follow-ups can quickly add up.
- In severe cases, you could face early retirement and give up your job.
- Let us not forget the emotional toll of pain and financial stress on your mental health.
That is why making a shoulder injury claim is not just about justice. It is about getting your life back on track.
