Pages On: Shoulder Injuries
An injured shoulder isn’t an easily sustained injury, but it can cause a cascade of issues in your neck, arms, back, and chest. The shoulder provides vital governance to our arms, and as such can render them all but immobile in the event of an injury. Whilst not life-threatening, a shoulder injury can cause lifetime discomfort and difficulty. This is why, when evaluating the compensation awards, the effect of the shoulder injury on to one’s life is considered, not just the initial accident. If you’ve suffered a shoulder injury in an accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be able to claim personal injury compensation.
