What Floridians Should Know About Shoulder Injuries

Shoulder

An injured shoulder can significantly hinder your daily activities and negatively affect your finances. Fortunately, when someone else’s negligence causes you a shoulder injury, you can seek compensation from them or their insurance company. However, proving a link between a shoulder injury and an accident can at times be challenging. The shoulder performs numerous tasks like lifting and playing sports. Because of all that activity, the shoulder is prone to natural injuries. Therefore, when you file for a shoulder injury claim, the insurance company or the at-fault party might try to dispute your claim on the basis that you had a pre-existing shoulder issue even before your accident, even if you didn’t. Because of this, you need to work with a qualified personal injury attorney who can help you refute such claims.

Types of Shoulder Injuries

After an accident, people can suffer from different types of shoulder injuries. There are many types of shoulder injuries, but all the injuries generally fall under three main categories: fractures, dislocations, and soft-tissue injuries.

A fracture occurs when you break a bone. Quite a number of fractures don’t need surgery, but your fractured shoulder could require surgery if you are involved in a serious accident. When you sustain a fracture, you experience pain, bruising, swelling, and immobility, among other discomforts.

Dislocations, unlike fractures, don’t involve broken bones. A dislocated shoulder is one where bones have become misaligned. The time it takes to heal from a dislocated shoulder depends entirely on the severity of the dislocation.

Lastly, a soft tissue injury occurs when a victim’s tendons, muscles, or ligaments tear. Bruising and strains are commonly associated with soft tissue injuries. People often sustain serious soft tissue injuries in car accidents.

The Adverse Effects of Shoulder Injuries

A shoulder injury can disrupt your life in several ways. For example, such an injury can leave you with excruciating and recurring pain. Such pain can prevent you from performing your daily activities with ease. A shoulder injury can also force you to stop going to work. If that happens, you might lose your wages. Such an occurrence can have devastating financial implications, especially considering you need medical attention after sustaining a shoulder injury.

How Much Can You Get From Your Shoulder Injury Claim?

The amount of compensation you receive after filing a shoulder injury claim depends on the damages suffered. Nonetheless, because shoulder injuries cause victims’ pain, you will most likely receive compensation for pain and suffering, other non-economic damages, and economic damages like medical costs.
