Shoulder injuries
An injury to the shoulder can have a big effect. As well as the pain itself, injuries to the shoulder can cause practical problems with many of the day-to-day tasks we all take for granted such as carrying shopping, caring for young children and gardening.
Shoulder injuries can also restrict a range of sporting and leisure activities and hobbies.
Our expert team regularly deals with compensation claims involving injuries, including fractures, dislocations, injury to the clavicle and the rotator cuff and frozen shoulder.

Case study
In her job as a bottling hall line operator, our client carried out a lot of heavy lifting, particularly when heavy machine components had to be removed and replaced. Although this happened up to four times each shift, her employer had never risk assessed the task. Our client alleged a shoulder injury, but the employer firmly denied liability. They did not accept that the manual handling had caused her injury.
We obtained a supportive medical opinion and raised proceedings in The National Personal Injury Court. We also obtained a court order to access the premises with an expert witness engineer. Over time we gathered a host of supportive evidence. At the pre-trial meeting our client’s employer made no proposals, so we were preparing for the final hearing. They then lodged a proposal to settle for £17,000. After rounds of negotiation, the case ultimately resolved for £42,500. Our client was highly delighted with the result.
