Phoenix Shoulder
Injury Attorney

Shoulder injuries can be severe, and they often become worse over time. These injuries require early detection and strict adherence to the physical therapy and pain management methods your physician prescribes. A shoulder injury is extremely painful and disruptive to your daily life.

Nearly every physical activity we do, from showering to cooking to reaching for an item on a shelf, involves the shoulder. It’s more than inconvenient when the use of your shoulder is limited—it’s painful.

Rotator Cuff Injuries Are a Common Result of Many Types of Accidents

Car accidents, falls down stairs, slips and falls, and many other kinds of accidents that involve impact on the shoulder and surrounding tissue can lead to pain and injuries. For example, the pressure from a seatbelt used to hold your body in place in a car crash can be substantial.

Shoulders become injured most often because the joint of the shoulder is vulnerable. The rotator cuff is a tough tissue that attaches and stabilizes the ball and socket joint of our shoulder.

It controls mobility and holds the humerus in the shoulder socket.

The pressure from being thrown forward against the seatbelt can then tear the rotator cuff. Car crash victims may write the pain off as soreness from the accident, but the injury worsens with time. It is so important to seek medical attention after an accident to ensure that injuries don’t progress.

Symptoms of Shoulder Injuries and Pain in Shoulder After Car Crash

The shoulder joint has the widest range of motion of all the joints in the human body. Because of this mobility, the shoulder isn’t as secure as the rest of your body. If you walked away from the accident but discover that something may be wrong a few days after the accident, seek treatment.

Some of the symptoms you may experience with an undiagnosed shoulder injury are:

• Shoulder pain worsens with physical exertion
• Tender, painful, and stiff shoulder
• Sudden, acute pain in the shoulder area
• Mobility of the arm is affected, movement in any direction is painful
• The shoulder hurts more at night and may inhibit sleep
• Discoloration in the shoulder area, pale or blue skin
• Shoulder experiences tingling, weakness, numbness, or inflammation

Our shoulder joints do suffer from wear over time, and the insurance companies are well aware of it. They will often try to blame some of your injuries on you, your age, or your noncompliance with the treatment plan. The recovery time for shoulder injuries can take much longer without prompt diagnosis and treatment.

It’s essential to follow the treatment plan your doctor provides. Deviating from the medical advice your doctor has given can result in risking your case. The insurance companies and defense lawyers will be quick to point out your non-compliance with the physician’s orders.

This mistake can lead them to accuse you of exaggerating the severity of your injuries and may result in a reduction or denial of your claim. Your shoulder injury lawyer can help you to understand the legal process and how to avoid putting your claim at risk.
