WHAT ARE COMMON SHOULDER AND ELBOW INJURIES?

A person can be injured at work in countless ways. From lifting products in a manufacturing plant to working on a delivery truck to falling in the kitchen as a waitress… anything can happen in a strenuous work environment.

Elbow and shoulder injuries are often the result of:

• Dislocation of shoulder or elbow
• Rotator cuff tears
• Broken clavicle
• Hyper-extension
• Chipped elbow or shoulder bones
• Ligament tears
• Sprains or strains
• Muscle damage

Because we use our arms and shoulders in almost every aspect of our work lives, an injury to the elbow or shoulder can cause serious distress and pain. Healing often requires the limb to be immobilized, greatly impairing our ability to complete our job duties. You should not worry about your job when you are injured. By retaining the services of an attorney from our team, you will have an advocate for your health by your side as you heal.

Who is At Risk of On-The-Job Shoulder & Elbow Injuries? 

Workers in several industries are prone to shoulder and elbow injuries. Firefighters can sustain strain and injury of the arms due to the strenuous nature of their work and even training. Industrial workers are also at risk, due to the poor ergonomics of their job sites, as well as potential contact with hazardous material that can cause damage to the joints. Airline employees may suffer from overexertion while lifting luggage or providing physical aid to passengers. In all cases, proper safety measures must be taken in order to minimize risks when working long hours.
