Understanding Shoulder & Elbow Injuries in the Workplace
A shoulder tear is a common workplace injury involving damage to the soft tissues that support shoulder joint movement and stability. Tears can occur within the tendons, muscles, or the labrum—the fibrous rim surrounding the shoulder socket (glenoid). These tears can range from minor, superficial damage to complete ruptures of tendons, muscles, or the labrum.
Common Causes and Types of Workplace Shoulder & Elbow Injuries
Work-related shoulder & elbow injuries are widespread, especially due to repetitive motions, heavy lifting, or sudden physical impacts. Shoulder pain, limited mobility, and arm weakness often arise from torn tendons, muscles, or the labrum. While small shoulder tears may heal with rest and physical therapy, severe tears might require surgery followed by a lengthy recovery period.
Certain work activities increase the risk of shoulder injuries, including overhead tasks, handling heavy materials, and operating machinery. Similarly, elbow injuries such as tendonitis, strains, sprains, or fractures frequently result from repetitive motions like bending, lifting, twisting, or extending the arm. Both manual labor and office jobs involving repetitive elbow use are at risk.
If left untreated, these injuries can lead to chronic pain, hinder job performance, and may even cause permanent disability, emphasizing the need for early medical attention and legal assistance.
How to File a Workers’ Compensation Claim for Shoulder & Elbow Injuries
If you suffer a shoulder or elbow injury on the job, filing a workers’ compensation claim promptly is essential to access medical and financial benefits. Workers’ compensation provides coverage for medical treatment, lost wages, rehabilitation, and other injury-related expenses to protect injured workers.
Strict deadlines govern the filing of workers’ comp claims, so timely action is critical to securing your benefits. Our experienced Shoulder & Elbow Injury Lawyers guide you through the entire claims process. From your first consultation, we handle paperwork, gather necessary medical evidence, and negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf.
Our lawyers work diligently to streamline claim processing and avoid common errors that could delay or reduce your compensation, helping you recover both financially and physically.
Maximizing Compensation for Shoulder & Elbow Injuries
Injuries to the shoulder and elbow can result in lasting pain, reduced functionality, and the inability to return to work. Workers’ compensation benefits help cover costs related to doctor visits, surgeries, physical therapy, medications, and assistive devices essential for recovery.
If your injury prevents you from working, workers’ comp can provide wage replacement benefits. For severe injuries leading to permanent disability, you may also qualify for long-term disability compensation.
