Shoulder Trauma Claims Related to Motor Vehicle Accidents
Not only is it easy to hurt your shoulder in a car or SUV accident, but emergency treatment doesn't always identify the nature or extent of a shoulder injury, especially when more obvious or severe injuries command more attention. If you have encountered difficulty with a slow-healing shoulder problem in the aftermath of a motor vehicle accident, contact the Florida shoulder injury attorneys at Baker & Baker in Pensacola for a free case evaluation.
Our lawyers can advise you about your options for recovering compensation for a shoulder injury of various kinds: torn rotator cuff, humeral head or acromioclavicular joint damage, separation, dislocation or even the severe neurological damage that can result from a brachial plexus injury. If we can prove that you suffered a permanent injury or impairment as a result of your accident, you might be entitled to significantly more compensation than you would otherwise collect under Florida law.

Children are vulnerable to shoulder injuries as passengers in car accidents when child seats or safety belts don't properly fit. Adults tend to suffer the worst shoulder injuries in motorcycle or bicycle accidents, when the combination of heavy impact and an awkward landing can result in a broken clavicle, rotator cuff problems or trauma to the brachial plexus of nerves leading from the spinal cord to the arm and trunk.
Our experience with the medical proof of the seriousness of a shoulder injury can often make the difference between a nominal damages award and compensation for the full range of your losses, including medical bills, loss of earnings and pain and suffering damages.
