Shoulder injuries are workplace injuries particularly in industries such as painting, repair work, nursing, assembly line work, and other jobs that involve overhead lifting or repetitive arm motions. If you are suffering from a shoulder injury due to the nature of your job, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits.

Do I Need a Lawyer's Help?
Shoulder injury cases can be complex and may require an attorney's help to receive the benefits you deserve. For example, your employer may claim that your shoulder injury was caused by something you did off the job or is related to a preexisting health condition. However, even if you had a preexisting shoulder problem, you may be entitled to benefits from the workers' compensation insurance company if your injury was made worse due a workplace injury or the accumulated stress of doing your job.
Our lawyers will help you navigate the process of applying for workers' compensation benefits, from the filing of your initial request for benefits through any necessary appeals.
What if I Injured My Shoulder in an Auto Accident on the Job?
If you injured your shoulder in an auto accident that occurred during the course and scope of your employment, you may be entitled to benefits from your employer's workers' compensation insurance company. If the auto accident was caused by the negligence of another driver, you may also be entitled to compensation from the other driver's insurance company. Our lawyers can maximize your recovery from both sources.
