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. 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. These include:
Rotator cuff tears
These are sneaky. In most cases, a rotator cuff injury happens due to repetition of the same movement over and over. However, it can also result from a sudden impact, like a fall or getting struck by an object. Either way, it leaves you in pain and struggling to move your arm like before. If it happened in an accident that was not your fault, you can make a rotator cuff injury claim.
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 an accident can easily break the bones around your shoulder. Sometimes surgery is needed and things can become complicated. If you have fractured your collar bones in a non-fault accident, you become eligible for collar bone injury compensation claims.
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 it was not your fault, it is worth exploring your options to make a compensation claim. Win a fair payout today through RU1NJURED’s panel solicitors.
Examples of Shoulder Injuries Eligible for a Claim
At RU1NJURED, our panel of expert shoulder injury lawyers help all sorts of people suffering from a non-fault shoulder injury. Here are some examples of shoulder injury cases that are valid for a compensation claim:
- A warehouse worker who dislocated his shoulder after he was forced to lift heavy boxes that exceeded the standard manual handling weight limit of 25 kgs. He can claim shoulder injury at work compensation by initiating a shoulder injury at work claim.
- A cyclist who got hit by a reckless driver ended up with a fractured collarbone. That cyclist can make a shoulder injury car accident compensation claim to get paid for his medical bills and time of work.
- 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 claim for your shoulder injury and secure the personal injury compensation you deserve.
Financial Implications of a Shoulder Injury
When you injure your shoulder, the costs go beyond the pain. These costs can significantly influence your way of living. Some of the financial difficulties that come with a shoulder injury are:
- 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 also face an early retirement or termination from your job.
On top of all that, let us not forget the emotional toll of the financial stress on your mental health. That is why making a compensation claim for a shoulder injury is not just about justice. It is about getting your life back on track.
