A shoulder or knee injury can put you out of commission for even the most basic tasks of daily living. In some cases, you can’t stand or walk, you can’t drive, you can’t dress yourself, and you certainly can’t work. Whether the treatment for your shoulder or knee injury involves surgery or physical therapy, one thing is certain: rest is essential to healing. We helps injured workers get the medical care and treatment and wage loss benefits they need after an injury on the job has laid them up. Employers and their insurers want to dispute or downplay your injury so they don’t have to pay your claim, or they want to rush you back to work before you are ready. Our workers’ compensation team can help. Call our Knee & Shoulder Injury lawyer today.
Shoulder injuries are most likely to occur in workers who are required to repeatedly extend their arms and reach above their heads in the course of their work, as well as employees who routinely lift heavy objects or who operate heavy machinery during the course of the workday. However, a shoulder injury can also be the result of a single traumatic event, such as reaching out to catch something that is falling, being struck by a moving vehicle or swinging object, falling from a height and landing heavily on the shoulder, or reaching out to catch something that is falling while reaching for it with the other arm.
Whether the injury is a sprain, strain, bruise, tear, or break determines the type of treatment that will be administered, which can range from resting the shoulder and taking medication to undergoing surgery or having the shoulder joint replaced.
A knee injury in the workplace is most likely to happen if you slip or trip and fall and land on the knee, if you slip without falling and twist the knee, if you fall from a height, or in a car or truck accident on the job. In addition to these single traumatic events, jobs that require you to frequently bend, squat, kneel or lift heavy objects can also cause degeneration of cartilage and tissue in the knee. As with shoulder injuries, knee injury treatment can range from rest and pain relievers up to and including surgery or knee replacement.
Common workplace knee injuries include:
