Shoulder Injury Lawyer

Shoulder Injuries From Accidents

Shoulders are durable members of the body that allow people to perform all manner of tasks. However, enough force can debilitate them and lead to significant pain. Common types of shoulder and shoulder-related injuries include:

Experiencing any one of these or other shoulder injuries could lead to debilitation, pain, and unemployment. If someone else is to blame, they should be held to pay.

Shoulder Injuries: Who’s to Blame?

Blame for shoulder injuries depends on where and how the injury took place. Generally speaking, proving negligence is required for compensation. Negligence in car accidents looks different from negligence in a medical setting or negligence associated with unsafe properties.
For example, negligence in traffic includes acts like:

In the medical context, negligence might look like:

In almost every case, the potentially liable party must have had a duty of care toward the claimant and must have violated this duty of care, leading to the claimant’s harm. 

For shoulder injuries occasioned at work, the rules of compensation are different. Work injuries in Texas are usually covered by workers’ compensation. However, a third party may also be liable for damages arising out of a shoulder injury caused at work. 

Making the Case for Damages

Shoulder injury victims must make a strong case for damages and be less than 51% responsible for the accident to recover damages. Insurance companies and defendants vigorously defend against shoulder injury claims, often attempting to blame them on the victim. An experienced personal injury attorney, however, knows what justice costs, and it is typically more than insurance companies initially offer.
