Shoulder injuries are one of the most common case that we deal with and can occur as a result of many accidents – here are just come of the common types that we have helped with.
Road and Car Accidents – most personal injury cases involving car accidents will result in whiplash claims, however the shoulder is also one area of the body high at risk from injury. Whiplash itself can lead to serious shoulder pain, as the nerves running through the brachial plexus can be damaged. If you have been injured like this, then you may have been diagnosed with rotator cuff injuries to the muscles and tendons.
Accidents at Work – if your work involves manual labour, then shoulder injuries can be common. We work with many clients who have to claim for shoulder accident compensation in London due to an accident at work. If you are concerned about taking legal action against a current employer then please call us today as it’s actually quite simple, as all London companies have insurance policies to pay for cases such as this.
Manual Workers and Heavy Lifting – you might be asked to lift heavy objects at work. If you haven’t been given correct training, or even if you have, then it’s still very likely that you will be able to claim for compensation for a shoulder injury at work or whilst lifting.
Slips, Trips, and Falls in Public Places in London – when you fall over it’s a natural reaction to put an arm out to cushion your fall. This is where most injuries will occur. You might be suffering from a fracture, dislocated shoulder, or broken bones.
