The shoulder is a complicated body part, with numerous muscles and connective tissues that can suffer injury, and a ball joint that can wear out. Many upper body movements – and countless work-related tasks – depend on the proper functioning of the shoulders.
A shoulder injury can be painful, debilitating and frustrating. If your injury happened at work or because of the work you do, you need to talk to a workers’ compensation lawyer about your legal rights. If the injured worker is a family member or a good friend, you can encourage them to get proper legal advice as soon as possible after the injury.
By law, your employer needs to provide certain wage benefits and medical benefits. Workers’ comp is meant to cover shoulder injuries that many workers experience as a result of repetitive movements and accidents.
