Rotator Cuff & Shoulder Injury

Have you suffered a shoulder rotator cuff injury at work? Do you know when the injury occurred? Your employer's insurance company may attempt to argue the injury occurred away from work. At the Injured Workers' Law Firm, we can work with you to get workers' compensation benefits. Describing your injury in the wrong way can hurt your chances of recovery. We handle injuries such as:

  • Rotator cuff tear
  • Loss in range of motion
  • Laberal shoulder tear
  • Shoulder blade or neck injury

How do you know when you were injured?

We will consult doctors to determine whether the injury was consistent with an accident or with a chronic and long-term injury. You need a doctor to state that it was a new injury from the work accident or the work accident aggravated an old injury.

Describing shoulder pain can be difficult. The nature of the injury makes it difficult to pinpoint. If you describe pain in the wrong way, your claim may be denied. You may misstate the area injured, because you think something else is injured.

You may not know what is injured because you are in a lot of pain and are on pain medications. Many times a rotator cuff injury may feel like a hand or wrist injury. We can help you get the medical documentation correct. A doctor must determine what is causing your shoulder pain.

Many people may have small tears in their rotator cuff without knowing it. When you have an accident at work, you may tear the rotator cuff even more. That is when you may notice the pain.

Seek Medical Attention and Then Legal Counsel

Rotator cuff injuries are common among factory workers, field workers, plumbers, electricians, and movers. Do not wait to contact an attorney about your injury. A workers' compensation accident must be told to your employer within thirty days and the claim filed with the Workers Compensation Commission within two years of the initial injury or it may be denied.

We represent clients seeking workers' compensation in the Richmond area. Call or
